Jamie xx and Robyn have collaborated on a new single called ‘Life’. This track was released on Monday, June 17, and is said to be Robyn’s first major release since her album ‘Honey’ in 2018. The song ‘Life’ will be a part of Jamie xx’s upcoming second album titled ‘In Waves’, which is scheduled to be released on September 20 through Young.
Robyn expressed her excitement about the new track, mentioning that she is looking forward to seeing how ‘Life’ gets people dancing this summer. She praised Jamie xx as a brilliant creator and expressed her enthusiasm for being a part of his album. ‘Life’ represents a shift in style for the London-based DJ and producer, as it incorporates elements of nu-disco with Robyn’s house vocals and anthemic horns.
In a statement about the track, Jamie xx shared that he created ‘Life’ relatively quickly and fell in love with it right away. He recalled the moment when he first heard Robyn’s vocals, describing it as the perfect moment after a gig in Ibiza. The collaboration between Jamie xx and Robyn has been years in the making, and Jamie xx expressed his joy and gratitude for having Robyn be a part of ‘In Waves’.
Jamie xx recently announced the release of ‘In Waves’, his first new record in over nine years. The album, which features 12 tracks, includes collaborations with artists such as The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, John Glacier, Panda Bear, Oona Doherty, and The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim.
