You know they toured with clean bandit last year and sang most their songs with them when the original singers didn't make guest appearances. I would say they are far from back up singers, both of them are awesome! Florence Rawlings has done shows with Wilkinson and Elizabeth Troy is still touring with them. In my option from seeing them live both with the original singers and with Elizabeth, she gels with them slightly better than Jess Glynne, although all three are amazing anyway.
That. is. impressive. Totally changed the whole mood of Royals, awesome job of turning it into a club mix. Even the bass made it so abstract! Good job guys! Clean Bandit is gonna take the world music on an other level altogether!! Love it!
This rendition was really jarring when I first heard it...but then randomly today, it was stuck in my head and now I think it has grown on me. Darn you Clean Bandit for making such addictive songs/mixes!!!
This is a top track - the singers pull it off perfectly and everyone is fully getting into it. I've played this so many times and it never fails to get me moving... x
this was amazing, my favourite kinds of covers are the ones where they make the song COMPLETELY different and their own and cb definitely do that. love them so much.
If you listen to it, the start of the chord progression sounds very similar to the bit where she sings "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh, I cut my teeth on wedding rings". She's literally used to same melody there and just added a few ornaments.
what i love is that they made it sound like they spent time editing it on software but its just how they are doing it, one of my favourite live lounges
Im getting fucked off with people saying this is "too fast" THIS IS A HOUSE REMIX for heavens sake. If this was a standard like for like cover then yes of couse it would be to fast but this is quite clearley a dance remix!! I mean are people seriously listening to this and thinking "hmmm....this record seems somewhat faster than I remember" If someone like London Gramma coverd Clean Bandits current single, id expect a stripped back version likewise
Why are the singers not credited? Why is it so god damn hard to find out about the singers who make the sound what it is? Something odd about about how they credit the artists in Clean Bandit.
fallyhag The thing is Clean Bandit did most of the work. They composed all the music, they just had the two singers play their parts. It wouldn't make a ton of sense (in copyright law) to credit them since they have no right to the actual ownership of this rendition, if that makes sense.
Damn this needs a release or at least a studio version the two singers where on point and sounded unique the beginning was great it had me singing flying through the air 😂😂😂😂
Excellent cover. Great musicians. Fabulous soloists. I like the minor touch, 90s yeah baby. ;) That D major chord in the original is what makes that song really sing out. In the cover, that replacing D minor chord is just so right. Great song, great cover.
No doubt there's a LOT of talent in that room but I have to admit... I lol'd a bit when the beat kicked in. And also how random is the Snowman theme being incorporated into the song?? xD
MyNameIsRamen Small melody similarity? Both melody lines use the exact same line up of notes! :P Also why would they talk about lorde plagiarising the song? Other artists have done worse and it's not called plagiarism!
I loved the version by Lorde, but this version is just amazing and blasts the original I loved out the way! I can listen to this over and over and still love it.x
+Callum McPherson Yes! I got really excited when I heard it and wondered if anyone else would hear it. Neil brings back the melody in the middle of the song too.
So the original was OK. However this remix/cover blows it away. The enthusiasm and sheer joy of their performance has a gorgeous infectious quality. I challenge anyone to watch this performance and not end up grooving away with a huge Cheshire cat grin on their face! :D
This is a fantastic video! It is as if Lorde split into two people then took a little methamphetamine. Heroin would be wrong since it would slow her down. Acid would slur her words.
The Rawlings and Troy combination as vocalists has by far been the best for CB. Don’t get me wrong. Others have been good, but l don’t like the 2018 version. Kirsten Joy is good, but the ......... NO, NO, NO.
I just love how the backup singers finally got the spotlight and they seemed like they enjoyed them selves

Classic. Listened to this when it played on radio 1 the first time.
Brilliant 🇬🇧
The white singer blates doesn't care! She is amazing, I love her energy, she looks so excited, it makes me happy to just watch how happy she is
Check her move when the melody drops!
Still one of the best live lounges ever . Deserved a proper remix for this 👏

Still bumping this in 2021, all the way from Australia. The energy in this is everything!
Two amazing vocal performances. Please bring them back!

"I've never seen a diamond in the FALESHHH"
+Mr Ollie B That just made my day : )
😂😂
I come back here whenever I need to laugh just to read your comment! Thank you for that ; )
Ahaha thanks Rita ; )
LMFAAAAOOOO
that violinist is handsome!
and the Drummer is cute
milan neil amin-smith he is perfect
My viloin- teacher: "Clean- Bandits- violinist is a luminary..."
He's gay
He's gay
Ugh! I love how they're *so* consistent with their sound!! Clean Bandit omg you've outdone yourselves
It's pretty cool! I keep on listening to it over and over again.
Heard this on the radio at work and started dancing,would have now problem playing this in a dj set,good tune!
I am hooked on that cover this should be in the charts.
One of the best live lounge covers in a long time! Totally mixed it up love it!
I looooveee this kinda cover..its so theirs :D
Absolutely cracking cover from a fantastic music group!
Great cover!!
So odd, so weird, so different!
I loved every bit of it!
This cover is so great. Such a shame that Florence doesn't feature on the album. She goes with their style.
So true!!!
at the first few seconds they sounded like they were going to do the song walking in the air from the snowman
If you listen to it, the start of the chord progression sounds very similar to the bit where she sings "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh, I cut my teeth on wedding rings". She's literally used to same melody there and just added a few ornaments.
THANK GOD. I thought it was just me hahahah
missjienevi
My fave band covering one of my fave songs. Life does not get much better!
such a genius cover
those 2 singers absolutely smash this live lounge !!!
yes!! I like this version so much more than the first version!!! The florence's voice it's amazing!!!!
possibly one of the best live lounges ever.
what i love is that they made it sound like they spent time editing it on software but its just how they are doing it, one of my favourite live lounges
OMG! Totally didn't expect this to be that good!.Amazeballs!!

sounds pretty awesome to me!
I love this version so much because they look like their having so much fun!
I didn't know where this was going at first but when it started speeding up I was like, "ohh yeahhh" 👌🏿
Don't know how any1 cannot like this watched it about 10 times! Brilliant!!
Love the singers voices
The way she repeats "We'll Never Be Royals oh oh oh" - god that's amazing
😍 pure gold!
I love Clean Bandit's take on the song!
Live Lounge just gets Better!!!
To be honest i don't understand why people don't like the song, its so awesome!
I hope they use this on their next album and get Lorde to record it with them :)
wtf? they're way better then Lorde lol
hahaownedlolz I never said Lorde was better haha xD
hahaownedlolz AHAHAHAHAHHAHA you're crazy omfg "way better than Lords" ahahahahHAHAHA
the more i listen to this the more i appreciate it, the fact they perform this live as well...

BarmySamK THANK YOU!

Black lady is Elizabeth Troy and the White lady is Florence Rawlings
Sessions singers gave it the extra sauce, who are they ?
@@ComicMan9 why does that mean they have to remain anonymous? Makes no sense to me.
in my opinion I think it worked really well it was a different approach to the the song and I love it
Great cover of a great song. With a nice twist. Often come back to this tune.
Did no one else for the first 30 seconds think they were going to do the snowman film theme? lol
We're walking in the air... Hahah me too!
They did that on purpose to show that Lorde plagiarized the melody lol
Yes
then, you know what plagiarize means, right?
Quinn Jenkinson I went straight to the comment section bc I got so confused 😂😂
WOW just WOW :-) Love the original and totally love this
Brilliant cover
No word to explain this... They`re so much AMAZING!
this is a banger. the whole point is for it sound completely different. top marks.
Absolutely brilliant. Leaves me with a smile on my face every time I watch it. Awesome.
duuddeee that was amazing, its like a fresh version of an overplayed song
I LOVE clean bandit!!
I loved this one
Gets better every time i listen to it
This is an AMAZING cover :)
Seen these live! So much energy!
awesome! Its like a live remix, love it
Clean Bandit. Bow to this version. So Awesome
Clean bandit are wow. The intro .... WOW
it's walking in the air from the snowman, believe it or not.
Phil Hibberd Now i figured out where Lorde got the melody for her song. i thought she was original sigh
nothing new in music, not that many notes!
so obsessed with this version
this is epic im loving it!
This is plainly amazing ... Obsessed with these guys !
Damn this needs a release or at least a studio version the two singers where on point and sounded unique the beginning was great it had me singing flying through the air 😂😂😂😂

Because the start of royals sounds just like Walking in the Air. Definitely had to be done!
MyNameIsRamen Well its not exactly the same but its very similar.
The start of it really does, have a listen bro
It's between the instrumental intro to Walking in the Air and the first few notes of Lorde's vocals 'I've never seen a diamond in the rough' etc.
MyNameIsRamen Small melody similarity? Both melody lines use the exact same line up of notes! :P Also why would they talk about lorde plagiarising the song? Other artists have done worse and it's not called plagiarism!
Ive never heard anything quite like this before and the more I hear it the more I like it.
This fucking blows the original away. Incredible.
Couldnt have put it better myself! :D
Love this! A really clever, fresh and original remix!
absolutely amazing cover tho got the old style 90's house feel to it!
The singers are loving it!!
I don't know how to feel about this
house isnt everyones cup of tea, i love it personally
That's pretty good!! It was incredible I liked so much This song!!
this is so good!
I loved the version by Lorde, but this version is just amazing and blasts the original I loved out the way! I can listen to this over and over and still love it.x
God..these vocalists... fucking amazing.. They should be way more famous then they are
This is so amazing! Love clean bandit so much
The drummer is oddly cute, there's something about him
Knew I wasn't the only one.
Charlotte Slater I don't know how he is XD! He's just attractive
You're right, he always looks so bewildered, which is adorable.
I knew it! im not the only one! Hahahahaha
The man at the blues clues
For goodness sake, it’s an alternative arrangement of Royals. Love it. 😘
the blonde vocalist is smoking hot
for real? not bad, but wouldnt go that far
i want too know who it is haha
Florence Rawlings!
The blond on the cello was smoking hot, i want to know her name, anyone ?
Felipe Frota grace chatto
I love this version so unique and different if they brought this out it would be a hit that is how good it is
This cover makes me so happy!
Definitely one of the best bands in the world at the moment.
Do I hear "Walking in the Air" from The Snowman at the beginning?
Yes, they fused Walking In The Air with Royals
Absolute genius - the two songs actually have quite a similar melody.
Yes
+Callum McPherson Yes! I got really excited when I heard it and wondered if anyone else would hear it. Neil brings back the melody in the middle of the song too.
Yes I was singing it
I appreciated the beginning! 'We're walking in the airrrrr'! CLEVER !!!
So much better than the dreary old original good job guys
Unexpectedly entertaining cover)) love the way the singers had fun during their performance!
The cover was really good! Really different, plus I loved the black girl's voice 😍
So the original was OK. However this remix/cover blows it away. The enthusiasm and sheer joy of their performance has a gorgeous infectious quality. I challenge anyone to watch this performance and not end up grooving away with a huge Cheshire cat grin on their face! :D
its as if lorde stopped doing heroin and started doing acid lol
more attractive!
This is a fantastic video! It is as if Lorde split into two people then took a little methamphetamine. Heroin would be wrong since it would slow her down. Acid would slur her words.
Heroin you say?
DMT
LOL
that was awsome great BEST REMIX EVER!!!!!!!! LOVE U CLEAN BANDIT
Expected this was very much like the orig version but it came out to be a completely different version
Loved how much fun you guys were having.
Love the cover, arrengement, singing, playing and harmonizing, I have to say it: This in my opinión is a great versión, like it more tan the original.
Omg! It sounds even more amazing the second time! I can't wait to see what Clean Bandit have got in stock for 2014! I'm in love with them.
Omg I was not expecting this
Lorde would be proud
To pull this kind of music off with live instruments is a hard feat... well done.
WHO are those two girls?! They are amazing, as well as Clean Bandit!
The black singer is Elizabeth Troy - she sung on a lot of Jungle and Rave tracks in the 90s.
this is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
White female singer; Florence Rawlings
THANK YOU!
Elizabeth Troy!
The Rawlings and Troy combination as vocalists has by far been the best for CB. Don’t get me wrong. Others have been good, but l don’t like the 2018 version. Kirsten Joy is good, but the ......... NO, NO, NO.
