Now, the band, consisting of Grace Chatto and brothers Jack and Luke Patterson, have revealed details of their second album AND a potential massive collaboration! Taking to their Instagram Story, the band posted a short video showing none other than Rita Ora in a recording studio! And, while they haven't confirmed a collaboration is in the works, it certainly looks like it could be.
This comes as the band confirmed they have FINISHED their second album, the follow-up to their 2014 album 'New Eyes' which reached Number 3 in the UK. Posting a photo on Instagram the band wrote, 'When one thing ends, another begins! The Summer tour is over, but our album is finished...'
They then went on to thank all of the 'musicians and incredible crew' who have been involved at their live performances.
Whilst there has been no confirmation from Rita or Clean Bandit about a possible new collab, Rita has just dropped her new single and confirmed that HER second album will be on the way later this year.
Here at Northsound 1 we're playing Rita's new single 'Let You Love Me' and fans are already loving the music video even though it's only been out for a few days. Many fans have left comments such as 'This should be my jam forward.. Love the music.. Love the video.. Perf💕', and 'BEAUTIFUL I LOVE UUUUU RITAAA❤️ keep being amazing.
The 'For You' singer has even responded to some saying, 'Thanks for watching 💖 This song means a lot to me, what's your favourite lyric?'.
Earlier this year we caught up with Rita and One Direction singer Liam Payne to quiz them on their BRITs knowledge.
