Clean Bandit Finally Dropped Their Song With Marina And The Diamonds

Listen to “Disconnect” here

by Hayden Manders

Clean Bandit premiered a song with Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds at Coachella two years ago. It was called "Disconnect," and like the world is currently doing with Robyn's "Honey," the world waited for its imminent studio release. A few months passed, nada. A year passed, nothing! Had Clean Bandit disconnected with "Disconnect"? Nope! It's here in all its transcendental glory. Finally.

Diamandis alerted her fans to a surprise coming yesterday, June 22. Clean Bandit quoted her tweet saying, "we love a surprise." Obviously, something was coming, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what.

"Disconnect" is blissful and bittersweet, a post-breakup anthem of Robyn proportions. It's the first song Diamandis has released since announcing she was taking "a little break" back in April 2016. "It’s something I need to do creatively," she said. "This isn’t goodbye for good, it’s just for a short while." Sure hope so!

Meanwhile, Clean Bandit is going on tour this fall, and we're coming along for the ride. Get your tickets here!
