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.

NOT QUITE, SHAUN. charted at #5~

[Loukas]

I agree, number 1 for sure

The last 3rd of the song is defiantly the best bit

[Christmas Dynamo]

Nice 1990s house piano - in fact this could have been released in 1993

R1 and R2 friendly

Not too dissimilar from the first one

Nailed on hit

[Christmas Dynamo]

If only this had been our eurovision entry rather than that vile dirge we have

The vid is a little cliche and "yoof" and inclusive but its not horrible.

Should be a hit for them, glad they've managed to show off versatility within their style, there was a danger that they might not manage to. I think this could work out quite well for them, I wonder when they'll get a big name to feature on one of their songs? Probably album #2... take the Disclosure approach; work with bit players on album #1 and then build up from there

[Jords]

Boring

Heart on Fire >>

[Loukas]

Something extraordinary
Something real
To fill my days and nights with something
That I can feel (I can feel)
