UK singer-songwriter and pianist Rae Morris has been getting steady buzz ever since Zane Lowe christened her track "Closer" his "Hottest Record in the World." The dance-pop singer, whose sound evokes contemporaries like Kiesza or Marina and the Diamonds, just came out with a new EP, Skin, and we're pumped to be premiering a remix of album track "Love Again" by British electro-orchestral foursome Clean Bandit. The group, who won a Grammy this year for their smash "Rather Be" ft. Jess Glynne, off their debut album New Eyes, add a pulsing beat and house-y synths to the ballad and, according to member Jack Patterson, some midi saxophone.
This isn't the first time they've all worked together. "Rae and I wrote 'Up Again' together last year and she is featured on the song on our album," Patterson tells us. "We've been in love with her voice ever since, and it was really exciting to remix this track. I love the original, and had a lot of fun contrasting her pure angel tones with my nasty midi saxophone." For her part, Morris says that she "love[s] what Jack has done with the chorus melody...Part of me wonders why I didn't do that in the first place!"
Give the track a listen above and let it sweep you into the weekend.
