X Ambassadors have announced their signing to Virgin Music with their new single, “Happy People“, featuring Teddy Swims and Jac Ross today. The soulful and introspective song finds all three singers displaying their impressive vocals and perfectly harmonizing with one another. Lyrically, the new song focuses on striving for happiness while struggling with one’s own mental health. Listen to it now below.
“Happy People” is a part of the band’s ongoing (Eg) collaborative singles project which highlights the band’s songwriting/producing abilities. Along with the track release, X Ambassadors today released a video for “Happy People” which includes the full band and both featured musicians performing on a suburban front lawn highlighting the collaborative ‘singalong’ feel of the new single.
X Ambassadors lead singer Sam Nelson says, “Our new song “Happy People,” featuring Teddy Swims and Jack Ross, is about struggling to maintain your own health and happiness while constantly being assaulted with images of everyone else’s seemingly perfect lives. This is something we all come up against every day, just looking down on our phones. Having the opportunity to work with Teddy and Jack on this song was a transcendent experience with both of them. Any time they open their mouths, you just feel so deeply what it is they’re saying and what it is they’re singing, they cannot help but reveal everything to you when they sing and that is golden.”
In welcoming X Ambassadors to the Virgin Music family, Jacqueline Saturn, President says, “X Ambassadors are at a point in their career where they know exactly where they are going and what they want in a partner to help them get there. We are thrilled to have them join Virgin and we will use our global resources to help them reach new audiences and excel even further in what is already an incredible career. We can’t wait to share their new music.”
