UK pop sensation Mabel has released her latest single today with Clean Bandit, the instrumental trio who have worked with numerous celebrity vocalists. The song is titled ‘Tick Tock’ and features an appearance from American rapper, singer, and songwriter 24kgoldn.
Out now on all platforms, ‘Tick Tock’ is the first time these artists have worked together, and fans have received it incredibly well. The collaborators are excited too, with Clean Bandit posting to their social media: “Guys the moment you’ve all been waiting for is RIGHT NOW.”
The video was released a few hours after the song, at 1pm today, 21st August, and it has already gained nearly 100,000 views. With Mabel dancing to the upbeat lovesong, Clean Bandit playing behind her, and 24kgoldn receiving his own cameo for his verse, the video is packed full of interesting visuals, and perhaps the dance moves will soon be seen on TikTok.
According to Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit, “the song is about obsession, which can sometimes feel like the relentless tick-tocking of time… So we decided to show some of our random obsessions in this video (anyone else love popcorn?!).”
The song is Clean Bandit’s first release since their 2018 album ‘What Is Love?’, while Mabel has shared two previous tracks this year including a collaboration with AJ Tracey in July. The artist put out her debut album ‘High Expectations’ in 2019, and has wasted no time before sharing more new music and attending the Brit Awards in February, where she won the award for British Female Solo Artist.
Clean Bandit are a three piece band consisting of Grace Chatto (cello), and brothers Jack Patterson (keyboards, bass, guitar, violin) and Luke Patterson (drums, percussion). Their blend of dance and classical music makes them unique, and they have created some of the most popular songs from the last few years – ‘Rockabye’ ft Anne Marie, ‘Symphony’ ft Zara Larsson, ‘Rather Be’ ft Jess Glynne, and ‘Solo’ ft Demi Lovato.
Taking the second verse, 24kgoldn, at only 19 years old, has seen his single ‘Valentino’ receive over 1 million plays on Spotify and signed with Columbia Records. This is not his first collaboration, as he featured on Olivia O’Brien’s single ‘Josslyn’ and a number of other artist’s tracks, as well as Yungblud remixing 24kgoldn’s ‘City of Angels’.
