Clean Bandit

What Is Love?

Clean Bandit have morphed into the UK’s dominant power in Latin-inspired pop hits. It wasn’t always this way.

When the Cambridgeeducated trio met their focus was on alchemising classical with the thump of house music.

That combination worked well, with their Jess-Glynnefeaturing single Rather Be spending four weeks at No 1.

But then their attentions turned to Latin pop and watered-down dancehall.

What Is Love? sees them follow this to its conclusion, and it’s not a road you will want to travel with them.
