Does anyone know the name of the song in the new mitsubishi commercial and who it is by? It’s kind of a downtempo electronic song. There is a female vocalist. The ad is the one with the black guy driving the SUV and the passengers in the car keep changing showing the progression of his life. it ends with the words “Are you in?” flashed on the screen.

thanks in advance

Not sure, and I don’t know the title, but I sort of pegged it provisionally as a Portishead song. Sounds like it could be them.

Anyone know?

OK. Never mind.

I’ll just be over…um…here. Y’know, being a philistine.
