Clean Bandit | Rather Be feat. Jess Glynne

Looking to make me even more envious as an already massive lover of all things Japan, Clean Bandit return with their brand new video created entirely by themselves on a recent trip out there. Speaking about the video and new single bass player Jack Patterson goes on to say:

"The song has an old school feel. The vocal line was written with Jimmy Napes (Disclosure, Sam Smith, Nile Rodgers) and Nikki B, who features on ‘A&E’ and ‘Nightingale’. It is quite romantic, but the video is about a Japanese fan of the band that becomes delirious and has hallucinations of band members and our logo appearing unexpectedly in her daily life as a chef. Filming in Tokyo was an amazing experience. We made it ourselves, as always, which was quite scary as we've never produced anything so far away before. It is a beautiful place and the trip inspired Luke to learn Japanese: he now has Japanese books in the bus every time we travel to a gig."
