MUSIC MY SIX BEST ALBUMS

GRACE CHATTO, 32, is cellist with the band Clean Bandit who have had four No.1 singles including Rather Be and Rockabye. Their new album What Is Love? is out on November 30. FLEETWOOD MAC: Rumours (Warner) This came out long before I was born but to me, as a music producer, it doesn’t sound dated at all.

I’ve never been a person who listens to lyrics that much but the words on this are genius – the suffering and whirlwind of relationships within a band getting lost in a haze of cocaine. And I love Stevie Nicks’ voice. THE BEATLES: White Album (EMI) My parents loved this. There are a lot of songs on it I hate but I’ve been in love with the great ones since I was tiny like I Will, a simple, lovely song that always cheers me up.

The album is a mad mix of wonderful, heartfelt numbers and bombastic weird songs like Ob-LaDi, Ob-La-Da. JAMES BLAKE: Overgrown (Polydor) I find this beautiful and deep. Every time I listen I hear new things. We went to the same school but he was younger than me so I never knew him. When we started our band we ran a club night and booked him as a dubstep producer before he started recording. I never imagined he’d be this incredible singer. MICHAEL JACKSON: Thriller (Sony) Every song is amazing and it includes my favourite P.Y.T. which we listen to every day because our sound engineer uses it to test the PA system. When I was little, I was obsessed with the Thriller video and remember being terrified. We do a cover of it in my dad’s band, the Massive Violins. SPICE GIRLS: Spice (EMI) I first heard this on holiday when my friend and I heard it on TV through the wall. The songs are so clever and they were the first real girl group who had individual personalities. ACE OF BASE: Happy Nation (Polydor) This still sounds current. It’s basically a reggae album with a Swedish pop vocal on top. You can hear their influence on Rockabye and songs on our new album – not deliberately but we like the juxtaposition of different styles.
