The amazing Clean Bandit have spoken about their brand new album 'What Is Love?' due for release on Friday 30th November, and we had to ask them just what fans can expect.
With the usual sound we have all come to love from the band, their answer to Sarah-Jane Crawford will probably surprise you. The group said, "You can expect many banging tunes, maybe some styles that are a bit different. Some curve balls in there."
Grace then added the group have teamed up a number of different artists, including Charli XCX, Rita Ora and Big Boi from Outkast.

We also asked Grace, Luke and Jack what is the strangest place they've ever heard one of their songs played, with Jack saying, "I heard a guy playing symphony on the sax the other night in Oxford street."
Clean Bandit are known for their AMAZING collabs, so far they've teamed up with the likes of Sean Paul, Anne-Marie, Julia Michaels, Zara Larsson and Louisa Johnson, but the group have revealed they'd LOVE to team up with both Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
Now that needs to happen!
