July 22, 20213 yr Can't wait for this !!! Summer Anthem 2021 !!! :) Edited July 22, 20213 yr by Julien_RCL
July 22, 20213 yr Author I'm intrigued by the Topic contribution, but hoping for a banger! Pre-order link: https://cleanbandit.lnk.to/Drive
July 22, 20213 yr Very interested but I feel Wes Nelson is a bit of a gamble (a bit like iann dior was?)
July 22, 20213 yr Author Yeah I’m not that thrilled by a Wes Nelson feature when there are so many better choices out there like MNEK or Ella Henderson. But I’ll save my judgment till I’ve heard the song.
July 22, 20213 yr Author There is a snippet on TikTok. Sounding very much not like a Clean Bandit song but they’ve been drifting from that for a while so not too surprised.
July 22, 20213 yr Excited for this, I’m still disappointed how ‘chain my heart’ never become the hit it truly deserved to, so this is hopefully another chance for Topic! Edited July 22, 20213 yr by LiamSime

July 29, 20213 yr Author This is alright after a first listen. Think it'll be a grower. Who knows how it'll do officially though after the lack of success for Higher.
July 29, 20213 yr Being a massive dance fan this is very disappointing now listening to it in full. It’s not awful but just extremely basic and doesn’t grip me, guess it could grow though.
July 29, 20213 yr First song by clean bandit to not be Insta added to hhuk Are we coming for two songs in a row missing top 40, they need to stop with the rappers and go to full dance
July 30, 20213 yr Author Although I don't hate it, Drive is very bland. They've undeniably lost their spark with these latest few singles. All of their songs used to be so different and interesting with the use of strings and different instruments in the production. The uninspiring singers on the tracks can't help either.
July 30, 20213 yr Yet again it is DULL AS. It's painful to think this is the band that had an almost flawless run of singles not so long ago right through from A&E to Baby.
July 30, 20213 yr Author Yet again it is DULL AS. It's painful to think this is the band that had an almost flawless run of singles not so long ago right through from A&E to Baby. 100% this. Just try comparing the likes of Symphony, Rather Be and Rockabye to this. Where did it all go so wrong? I'm still hopeful they can make good hits again.
July 30, 20213 yr They really need to just go back to their original USP, that's exactly why everyone loved them and why they were one of the most reliable hit-makers around for years. You can still hear the odd fragment of classical influence but it's always buried way underneath overproduced, generic dance songs. I wouldn't rule it out of being a hit because it sounds exactly like the sort of thing that fills up the charts these days, and with exposure in the right places it very easily could be, but it's just frustrating that such a good band have moprhed into something so standard and ten a penny.
