"Get Free" went out as a digital download in May 2012, an early calling card for Free the Universe, Major Lazer's second album, and its secret weapon is Amber Coffman, who sings it and plays guitar on it. She wrote it with David Longstreth, David Taylor and Thomas Wesley, Major Lazer produced it and Rich Costey mixed it, and the result is a hazy, sun-dazed plea for release that trades the club for the hammock.
The official video, directed by So Me, was shot in Kingston, Jamaica, and wanders through everyday Jamaican life, with Coffman and Diplo both turning up on camera.
