    It still amazes me how The Avalanches merged a ballad queen, a punk icon & a dancehall newcomer into a track that not only works out but, actually, encapsules 2020 vibes in its entirety. My favourite song from last year, this video makes me love it more.

    The drop after the "power to the people" line is the craziest thing ever. I just discovered The Avalanches today and I'm totally hooked. The album is genius.
    Edit: One year ago, I discovered The Avalanches and Cola Boyy with this masterpiece only to find out today that Cola Boyy is gone. We send out love to you Cola Boyy just as you did with Karen. Power To The People ♥

    About to turn 36, up at 2am just jamming for the first time in years.... I have been so caught up with "adult" life that I didnt even realize the avalanches dropped a 3rd album(4 years ago ugh). Just discovered Cola Boyy I am a instant fan, and he's gone before I even knew he existed . We got to stop and remember to enjoy life. Time is flying by so fast and I'm clearly missing my favorite parts of what living is. I am NOT going to let this world continue to beat me down. Thanks Cola Boyy, RIP. We go on....

    I wish the music video reflected how good this song is, but with covid and all I understand it must be more difficult to go all out like on SILY and Wildflower. Anyway, just picked up this record at my local shop, and it has not disappointed! Keep up the amazing music (and don't wait a decade between albums!)
    Another note, I'm really digging the less samples on the album, especially compared to your early stuff. It feels more organic and intentional to have recorded so much yourselves ❤

    Saw The Avalanches live in london last night! They played this and mixed Queen's I Want To Break Free over the top, and everyone in the place was singing along, it was incredible

    Mick Jones is the man. The Clash were never the same after he left and BAD esp BAD II was killer!

      BAD I was better (Megatop Phoenix), but to each their own I guess.

      Both were great.
      But BAD II has the more iconic Mick Jones post Clash sound.
