A collaboration I never would've expected! Really hope it's as good as the prospect of it sets it up to be!
Barang barang!
They're pretty hit and miss with me but judging by the features artists I'm thinking this will definitely be a HIT
This already looks like it'll be better than 'Tears' with Sean Paul as a feature
Tears is by FAR their best song so I've got high hopes for this, especially with Anne-Marie involved
Yes I hope they continue down the funky disco house route after Tears.
What happened to the Marina collab by the way. Why was it not released?
This sounds like it could be incredible!
high hopes for this~
Exciting collaboration! Loved Clean Bandit's song with Stylo G, so have high hopes for this.
Have such high hopes for this
Ah. Assuming this'll be the inevitable Why The Toilet Fi So Kleen cover we were all hoping for
for real tho MASSIVE HYPE
It'll take a lot to beat Tears.
VERY excited about this! Such a random collab
Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie are confirmed to be performing at the MOBO Awards together, so seeing as that's on November 4th we should get the single before then!
Awesome. Can't wait!
OMG! Such an expected collaboration but I'm so hyped for it.
The title for their new song is "Rockabye" http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/clean-bandit-next-single/
Ah yes. RRR!!! #VIDSHOOT #rockabye @cleanbandit #london #SAVETGEGEORGE #madpeopletingdeyshouldkno RRR!!!
I have a feeling this is gonna be huge!
the more i read about this ~ the more i want it to drop asap~
Out 21st Oct!
You mean I have to wait A WHOLE WEEK for it?
Now up for pre-order *.*
Member Neil has decided to leave the band
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a811497/clean-bandits-neil-amin-smith-quits-the-band/
Now that is a shock, but it's obviously the right decision and right time for him to move on.
Really shocked, the band won't be the same without him
Why exactly has he left then? The article or his twitter post doesn't make it very clear.
Popjustice have posted an article on their site. They say this is EVEN BETTER than 'Tears'! It sounds like Ace Of Base appaz. Not sure if it's out there though!
You can listen to it http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/clean-bandit-next-single/!
It's absolutely amazing
Neil Milan has left Clean Bandit.
This is incredible!
Wow another excellent song. Anne sounds fantastic on this too. Not sure if I prefer it to 'Tears' but it's definitely equal with it. Certainly ticks all the boxes though
This sounds like a surefire hit surely? Sean Paul racking up these pop features too! Not very unique in the way Tears was probably more, straying close to the tropical house sound 2016 has become known for. Should be in the Top 40 into 2017 though.
I like it, but it's nowhere near as good as Tears, which was really something special and unique.
Still, the lyrics tell a story, unlike pretty much every other hit single in the last 12 months, so that's a big yes from me.
Not really a fan of this...just generic tropical future bass, I prefer the Clean Bandit retro sounding funky house songs like Stronger and Tears.
I love it on first listen! Not quite as good as "Tears", but it's sounding pretty instant so it's surely only up from here.
That melody
I loved 'Tears' but this is so much better. It's gonna be huge!
Getting both Ace Of Base and 'Sex On The Beach' vibes from this.
It's quite good but it feels so generic for Clean Bandit, they've lost their uniqueness with this song. It's a generic tropical dance song that could've come from any of the mainstream DJs at the moment. Sean Paul almost ruins it as well!
For what it is it is decent, but I expect so much better from Clean Bandit.
WHAT A f***ING TUNE
I mean it's no Tears or Rather Be but they've set a high bar with those. Anne-Marie's voice is so so good on this, and whilst it's generic it just makes you want to dance and it does remind me of 90s songs like the ones mentioned above
This definitely doesn't feel like a Clean Bandit song, I'd say it would fit in better alongside Anne-Marie's songs actually, particularly Alarm and what we've heard of Breathing Fire. It's excellent nonetheless, I echo the praise of Anne-Marie's vocals, she sounds great Sean Paul is as fun as ever too *.* not as good as Tears but a worthy follow-up!
First, this is brilliant. Sounds like a massive top 5 and they've nailed the 'winter hit' vibe.
Secondly, I'm struggling to take it seriously in places because Sean (as always ) makes some completely pointless contributions, for example saying 'DAILY STRUGGLE' sounding far too excited in the middle of a sad, negative verse, and shouting things like 'STRAIGHT' and 'DON'T BOTHER CRY'. It makes the song if anything, though :,)
Yeah, Sean Paul's contribution does sound bizarre in Anne-Marie's verse. You can tell singing in a song telling a meaningful story is something he's never done before.
Clean Bandit deliver another great tune then. Still do prefer Tears because the violins always sound so fresh/unique and this is sorely lacking in those aside from the ending which feels a little tacked on. The chorus is very catchy and I think Anne-Marie was a great choice for vocalist on the track. I like some of the Sean Paul bits too but bit annoying when he's shouting random stuff like 'daily struggle' and 'for all the single mums out there going through frustration'
Sean Paul really enhanced Cheap Thrills and Hair for me but he nearly ruins this. It's such a strong and meaningful story, with the content being unlike anything that has been in the charts for YEARS, but I can't really take it seriously when Sean keeps popping up unnecessarily. It's a good song but it would have been incredibly strong without Sean Paul. The songs kind of like a modern British version of 'What Would You Do' and it needs more of a serious rapper.
Love that Grace's random/creepy smiling in a strange pose in a scenic location has been inserted into another video.
I didn't realise that Neil had left before they even filmed the video, I wonder if he even contributed to the song? I'm fascinated to know the real reason behind his departure as it's a huge shock and he doesn't seem to mention any of the other members in his leaving message.
This is very good! Sounds amazing for the winter too, should be a big hit.
DAILY STRUGGLE
Well it's certainly not on the same level as Tears, not feeling it on first listen, very much a potential to grow but not instant like almost all of their singles have been for me to date.
Strings at the start & end are nice!
Rockabye (Daily Struggle)
No it’s not xxxxxxxx
Agree with those that think it would be better without Sean Paul, but Anne-Marie sounds very strong. Great catchy hook, I'm finding it more instant than Tears but I wouldn't say this is better because that ended up growing on me hugely.
Anne-Marie sounds very genuine here, which I LOVE. She's effortlessly telling the story, and her tone kinda reminds me of "Scars To Your Beautiful" a bit - it's so inspiring.
It does seem a bit generic until the last five seconds of their signature "insert Baroque composition here", kinda like "Come Over" a bit. I don't see the issue, however. It seems they continuously set the bar so high that the follow-ups tend to get more criticism than they deserve.
Let's face it, any song Sean Paul features in is better without him in it. Odious creature he is.
But, even him being in this is not enough to taint it for me. I disagree that it's generic tropical (a sound I am truly sick of myself). This is different, and it sounds really 90s and properly throws me back to that era, and I like that. I can't get enough of this.
ew @ sean pauls ad libs
Ok so Rockabye is hands down the best song of the year and maybe the best song ever released in the history of music.
This is immediately my favourite of theirs. I thought from the featured artists that I'd be loving it, but even more obsessed with it than I thought I would be.
Sean Paul will forever be my fave.
YEP this is the 1
THIS IS AMAZING <3
i would love this so much more if sean paul didn't ad lib during anne-marie's parts id be all the way in
bloody marvellous ~ shades of ace of base 9TS ~ loving the tropical switch up too
I expected to be stanning Sean Paul here but it's actually Anne-Marie who was far more impressive! Her vocals are incredible here, easily the best that I've heard them sound.
Loving this anyway! Soooo catchy and the production is on point.
this is f***ing incredible on so many levels; -an excellent video, perfectly edited, the star power of anne-marie, i never knew she was so *.*
i know this is the lovechild of ace of base's 'all that she wants' and the single version of 'cheap thrills' but i think it works perfectly...easily their best single and one of the songs of the year. how fabulous.
DAILY STRUGGLE
CAN'T GET ENOUGH of this and I'm happy it's getting pretty much unanimous Buzzjack love too and for those saying it's a departure from their sound, it's hardly a million miles from the sound of 'Come Over'. If anything, it's nice that not all of their songs have the same vibe. I wish their trademark classical strings were more prominent in it though, rather than just tacked on at the start and end, as some have already said. Anyway I'm rooting for this to become a big #1 smash!
Oh this is quite nice, even if it seems to be moving away from their signature sound a bit
It would be ten times better if Sean Paul didn't rap in the background, sounds annoying.
Disc 1, Track 3.
7 weeks at #1 so far and it now has the Christmas #1 title!
Not even remotely bored of this song yet either.
This is still such a banger
They have one with Marina and the diamonds coming don't they?
that's meant to be on their forthcoming album but probably won't be a single.
I don't think they'll struggle to follow Rockabye, after all no one expected them to be able to ever match Rather Be but this song has gone and truly outdone that (not on pure sales admittedly but I genuinely think this song will be the more remembered in future years).
Tears is better than Rockabye but this is still 10/10
This still sounds so good this many weeks on, 10 weeks at number one please👌
Their album is going to be 🔥 🔥 🔥
I prefer Tears too but both are absolutely brilliant in different ways, can't wait to see what guests they get for the album!
This and Tears are so much better than anything else they've ever done.
TOTP performance with that additional Anne-Marie verse!
Was that the first time that additional verse has been heard? I really didn't like the lyrics on it.
That version gets played on radio 2 also as they can't play the Sean Paul rap
This to be bigger than "Rather Be" in the US plz
Just a thought, and I'm guessing it's an obvious one, but is Rockabye now the biggest hit that Sean Paul has ever put his name to?
Kinda cool to see the back of my head in that performance Only the third Christmas #1 I've seen live I think, and the only one in the year it was actually #1!
(the other two were PSB in 2009 and Human League in 2012...I did see Leona once but not sure if she did AMLT)
I still love this track, it's been so rare these last four years that a big hit I actually like arrives so when one does it feels extra special! It's those Europop-circa-1997 instrumental bits in the chorus I adore
This has got to be one of the best no.1 in years, no?
^ Absolutely
I love this remix of it ~that lush piano~
So this happened. Well edited I guess, I was expecting a very tinny vocal
