The only problem I have with this is that the production sounds like "Rather Be" part II. Other than that, it's amazing.

Co-sign with the Rather Be Redux production being problematic. But for me this also suffers from a bad lyrical flow; the lyrics just don't complement this well at all.
Gonna have to pass on this one.

Music Video (Behind the Scenes)
The new/single version features uncredited vocals from Sean Bass, whose sister Sharna Bass featured on Clean Bandit's previous single "Extraordinary", and Alex Newell, who is known for his recurring/starring role on Glee. Also, the video was filmed with 50 Microsoft Lumia smartphones and it was directed by Polish duo WΕodek Markowicz and Karol Paciorek, who have an entertainment show called 'Lekko Stroniczy' on YouTube. As a side note, the artwork was changed and it's shown below.  I prefer the new one to be honest~

What happened to Olly? I mean, Sean sounds good - just wondering what happened there.

This is very addictive, just as "Rather Be".
Have they switched the vocalist?

I'm not too sure about this, but I think Clean Bandit changed the vocalist (from Olly Alexander to Sean Bass and Alex Newell) on the track because the Olly version was already out in the UK when the album was re-released last November and I guess they want to maximize its sales with a single treatment. Even the Olly version was deleted in the re-release on the UK iTunes. |
