UK band Easy Life dropped their brand new single and official music video for “Earth.” The Leicester, England quintet continue their extensive run of festival dates this month, with appearances at Tramlines, Y Not, Kendall Calling and more. “Earth” follows Easy Life’s previous single “Sunday.”

The video for “Earth” was directed by Sophie Muller, shot in Morocco, the group’s playful mix of hip-hop, R&B, trippy electronics and confessional pop may make ‘Earth’ feel effortless, but its lyrical truths run deeper. “The world is a fucked up place, and sometimes it can feel terribly isolating,” says lead singer Murray, having worked on a farm all his life and become a passionate environmental advocate. On ‘Earth’, Easy Life set out to write a song addressing the fact that “we are running out of resources, and the future is looking bleak” but with the typically-positive spin of a band who, as the lyrics to ‘Earth’ put it, ultimately speak for those who “don’t feel at home on this planet.”

To go to Easy Life’s dizzyingly accomplished live shows is to watch the crowd (already) sing back every word, and quite possibly bring their own lemons. And so like the best of things, what started out as a bit of fun for Easy Life has quickly become an attitude to live by: one in which nothing is off limits (musically, lyrically, emotionally) and nothing – however bleak your situation, or your location – is irreversible. ‘Earth’, after all, is in our hands.
