Clean Bandit reveal their DREAM music collaboration
Grace Chatto spoke to Hits Radio's Sarah-Jane Crawford
Last updated 18th Jul 2018
Clean Bandit have stormed the charts over the past four years with their absolutely fantastic songs - most of which have involved a collaboration with another artist. After their recent hit 'Solo' with Demi Lovato, which reached Number 1 in the UK charts, Clean Bandit have now revealed who they've got their eye on next to work with.
Grace Chatto spoke to Hits Radio's Sarah-Jane Crawford backstage before their performance at Hits Radio Live, and revealed that the one artist that the classical/electronic trio would love to work with is Madonna!
But it's not just the Queen of Pop that they've got on their hit list - Clean Bandit would also love to work with Sam Smith and Lana Del Rey.
She then said, "We've got a few people already on songs because we're just finishing our album now, we've already got some amazing collaborations. I can't really say who! One of them is like an idol for me from when I was little.
"She's amazing, I can't believe it. I can't imagine telling myself that when I was about 10-years-old!
"I would say our dream collaboration is Sean Paul, but we've worked with him now! Lana Del Rey for me would be a dream collab. Sam Smith would also be a dream collab."

Clean Bandit have managed to craft themselves a brand new genre - taking their classical music training and their love of dance music to create massive pop hits. The band, consisting of Grace Chatto, and brothers Jack and Luke Patterson, started making music together 10 years ago, but became a household name after their 2014 collaboration with Jess Glynne - ‘Rather Be’.
Their 2016 single, ‘Rockabye’, for which they collaborated with UK singer Anne-Marie and rap legend Sean Paul, became the Christmas Number 1, and the band’s most recent single, ‘Solo’ featuring Demi Lovato, has already topped the UK charts. Their debut album, ‘New Eyes’, was released in May 2014, and the band have not yet announced whether they are working on a second.
