Clean Bandit and Lloyiso release acoustic version of 'Believe'
The acoustic version of 'Believe' might just be better than the original.
Clean Bandit has released an acoustic version of their new song, 'Believe', featuring Lloyiso.
The English group, which features Grace Chatto, Jack and Luke Patterson, released the track in July.
'Believe' is the third single release from Clean Bandit's upcoming album.
"The acoustic version (best version?) of 'Believe 'is out now! We’ve made a little music video for the occasion, also out now on our YouTube," the electronic music group said on Instagram.
Lloyiso shared a snippet of himself recording the song on his page. He told fans they will "float" when listening to the track.
"You are THEE most incredible musician, this was such a beautiful experience," Clean Bandit commented on one of his posts.
Social media users couldn't agree more. "Lloyso's voice sounds like heaven," one person commented.
Another Instagram user said: "Your voice is pure magic."
Lloyiso praised Chatto and violinist Molly Fletcher for their amazing contributions to the acoustic version.
"Idk where I get the energy to jump around the way I do! But the way these ladies play those STRINGS!! They make me wanna [soar] into the sky and eat the clouds."
Clean Bandit told Official Charts UK how 'Believe' came about.
"This is probably our most organic collaboration ever. We met Lloyiso in South Africa a few years ago after we performed in Johannesburg," Chatto said.
"I randomly met his friends, The Imports, who invited me to their house in Cape Town to write some songs. I was supposed to fly home and the rest of Clean Bandit had to go back to London, but I decided to stay, impulsively. Then Lloyiso walked in and just sang, at the top of his lungs. It was so moving, I've never ever heard anything like it in my life."
'Believe' has already racked up more than two million streams on Spotify in a few weeks, and looks set to be one of Clean Bandit's most loved songs.
The band has four songs on Spotify's Billions Club: 'Rather Be', 'Rockabye', 'Symphony' and 'Solo', which features Demi Lovato.
Speaking to Hunger magazine in May, Clean Bandit says success is being able to make music that uplifts some people.
They also hinted that fans can look forward to a lot more music in 2025.
"We will release some higher tempo music, and the rate of release will also be at a higher tempo!"
