Have had this chorus in my head since I heard it last week but only got around to watching the video shot in Iceland by Tim Erem yesterday. ‘Down On Life’ is from the Santigold school of pop music with a twist of Niki & The Dove-style vocals. It’ll feature on her debut EP which also has previously-featured ‘Tekkno Scene’, ‘In The Jungle’ and ‘Ciant Hear It’.

I had to check it out when I saw it was shot in Iceland! Great tune-almost dub/reggae ish in feel
The beat in “Down On Life” is infectious! and I love the sly infusion of Reggae 🙂
