News: Londoners take reggae track to the top in Italy

Relocating from your native country to another country has its ups and its downs. As is the case with London-based duo Mattafix, they are still trying to adjust to the rigours of living in a fast-paced setting of London. Their experiences are documented in the single Big City Lights, which is spending its third week at number one on the national pop charts in Italy, ahead of songs from U2, Depeche Mode, Hilary Duff and the Pussy Cat Dolls.

Big City Life is a bouncy reggae track and it is the first release from Mattafix's debut album the 14-track Signs Of A Struggle.

"We documented the struggles of living in a big city as opposed to where we were originally living. For one, coming from a small island and now living in London, it can be a bit intimidating. There are a lot of struggles that people go through when you are trying to adjust," group member Marlon Roudette said.
