After enjoying success with his Rihanna duet 'Stay', Mikky Ekko is gearing up for solo success, and has today premiered the video for his single, 'Pull Me Down'. Watch it below.
The mellow track has gained huge exposure for the talented US singer/songwriter, produced by A$ap Rocky and Lil B producer Clams Casino.
The relatively simple video sees Ekko in a ghost-filled property, himself fading into nothing as the clip progresses. 'Pull Me Down' is taken from Ekko's debut solo album, which is set for release in the summer of 2013.
The track is currently on the Radio One C-list and the interest in his solo work recently forced him to pull out of his planned tour with UK star, Jessie Ware.

Speaking about his solo material in an interview with Gigwise recently, Ekko told us that he hoped his music would be ranked alongside the likes of Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Angel Haze.
"What I know is that I have a gift for communicating with people and go to where someone is hurting. People want real," he said. "I'm not claiming that i'm always going to achieve that, i'll sit back and look at interviews i've done and i'll wonder why i've said things I have, but i'm just trying to be open with where i'm flawed, where i'm hurting.
"That's what I want people to connect with with me, then I don't have to figure out how i'm going to 'out-cool' my last record."
