After being very quiet for a number of years, Robyn has popped up twice on new songs this month. Firstly, with Yung Lean on a Charli XCX remix and now as a featured vocalist on ‘Life’ a new single from Jamie xx’s forthcoming album Waves (20th September 2024).
The song is in Robyn’s wheelhouse with big disco orchestration samples of Cerrone, a French Touch feel and big skittering beats to match the Swedish pop powerhouse’s vocals.

Speaking about “Life”, Jamie says:
“I made this track pretty fast (for me) and I loved it from day one. When I first heard Robyn’s vocal it was at 6am after finishing playing at Pacha in Ibiza, it was the perfect moment. Robyn and I have spent time working together and hanging out for some years now, it’s always a joy and always inspiring, I’m so glad and grateful that she is a part of In Waves. Thank you Robyn for bringing this track to life!”
“I just want to see how Life gets people dancing this summer. I can’t wait for that. Jamie is such a brilliant creator, I’m excited to be part of his album.”
