Only three of the band know how to use a bench properly, but on the plus side Clean Bandit just debuted this new single on The Radio and here it is as an online exclusive, unless you were listening to Radio 1 via their website but let's not get bogged down by the details.
"This sounds like a sensible successor to a Number One single," you might be thinking, knowing as you do that 'Rather Be', the band's most recent single, topped the charts earlier this year. "Mind you, what is actually going on here?"
Well we know they say never trust a cellist but here's what Grace 'Cellist' Chatto from Clean Bandit has to say on that very topic: "'Extraordinary’' is a great example of who we are as a band - it features a brand new young vocalist Sharna Bass who we found through mentoring at South Kilburn Studios, where we wrote and recorded our debut album 'New Eyes'. It's also quite a different musical style to ‘Rather Be’, which is also something characteristic: the marriage of strings and electronic music with lots of different genres of music. We shot the official video in Cuba. It's an incredible country, unlike anywhere else we have ever been to. We wanted to capture the euphoric feeling of the music in sunshine and dancing. We made the video ourselves, as always, with help from two Russian friends and some wonderful people we met out in Havana.”
Not the world's most succinct quote, but interesting nonetheless.
