We promised you'd be hearing more from Malika in 2018 so here it is.

We're premiering the video for the London-based singer's track "I Live" from her debut EP Songs About C - a song light and summery enough to cheer anyone up on a grey winter's day.

She enlisted her family for the retro-style DIY visuals, capturing the joy and freedom we all feel when we're belting out a great tune in the car.

Check it out below:

Q&A with Malika

What are you listening to at the moment?

I’m listening to lots of funk and soul at the moment, a real mixture from Prince to Michael Jackson to Bruno Mars for inspiration for my new music.

What are your plans for 2018?

2018 is a very important year for me, I’m looking forward to getting out and performing the songs from my EP live.

I also have a few live sessions coming up which I’m am really excited about sharing with everyone and of course, finally sharing the video for ‘I Live’ with everyone.

What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?

I can’t remember the first gig, but the best so far has to be when I performing with Snakehips as part of the Redbull 30 days in LA Tour. It was my first time in LA so getting to perform in front of hundreds of people, alongside Artists like Raury, Dram and Anderson .Paak was unforgettable.

Malika's debut EP Songs About C is out now - she plays a Sofar Sounds gig on 11 January
