CLEAN BANDIT SHARE BRAND NEW TRACK

IN COLLABORATION WITH  

PALESTINIAN-ITALIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER TÄRA

'LA DOLCE VITA’

BY

CLEAN BANDIT X TÄRA

LATEST RELEASE FROM UPCOMING STUDIO ALBUM

23rd October 2026: Clean Bandit has teamed up with Palestinian-Italian singer-songwriter TÄRA on a brand new track titled ‘La Dolce Vita’, a melodic and uplifting song showcasing TÄRA’s self-described “Arab’n’B” style, a smooth blend of contemporary R&B and Arab sounds, bilingual vocals and star-making energy; underscored by the signature strings and anthemic pop synth soundscape of Clean Bandit. Listen HERE. Watch video HERE. 

‘La Dolce Vita’ is the latest single to be shared from Clean Bandit’s upcoming studio album, due for release next year via their own label, CB X. Written and performed by Grammy-winning collective Clean Bandit and rising star TÄRA, ‘La Dolce Vita’ is a rich, late-night dance-pop track with Levantine tones running through its core. TÄRA sings in both Italian and Arabic, wrapping the song in a warm Mediterranean glow that cuts through the darker months. Classical flair meets club energy on a track that examines the consequences of looking away.

TÄRA said of the track: “‘La Dolce Vita’ is about how easy it is to get lost in comfort and pleasure, becoming disconnected from the injustice and suffering happening around us. It is about the bittersweet nature of escapism, the temporary sweetness of looking away, and the bitterness of what we choose not to see."

Grace Chatto (Clean Bandit) said: “For me, TÄRA is one of the most exciting artists in the world right now. We collaborate with many artists, but when Tarä walked into our studio earlier this year, it was different. Her vision is so strong and so beautiful. The incredible way she combines Arabic and Italian sounds is unique, I’ve not heard anything like it. It’s been a complete honour to work with her as a musician and film director.”

Jack Patterson (Clean Bandit) added: “We wanted to bring out the irony of the lyrics in the production. TÄRA introduced me to some beautiful Arabic instruments I hadn’t written for before, and I had so much fun with the string parts. We travelled to a tiny town near Naples to shoot the music video, which TÄRA directed. It was amazing seeing her vision come to life, she is a creative powerhouse! And I was very happy that my role mostly involved fishing and eating spaghetti!”

The video for ‘La Dolce Vita’ was conceived and directed by TÄRA and was filmed in San Giorgio a Liri, in Lazio, Italy earlier this summer. Watch HERE. 

‘La Dolce Vita’ by Clean Bandit X TÄRA is available digitally on all DSPs. Listen HERE.

‘La Dolce Vita’ is available via Clean Bandit’s own new label, CB X, alongside recently released singles ‘Company’from Clean Bandit X Chlöe X Omah Lay and ‘I Don’t Wanna Hurt You’ from Clean Bandit X Biig Piig.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About TÄRA:

TÄRA is a Palestinian-Italian singer-songwriter who has forged a distinct musical language at the intersection of contemporary R&B, alternative pop, and traditional Arabic sounds. Her signature "Arab'n'B" sound stems from the intertwining of diverse languages, rhythms, and imageries, transforming the themes of identity, diaspora, and belonging into an immediate, emotional, and deeply contemporary songwriting style. In May 2026, she released her debut EP, Zefiro, via Troppo Records / Sony Music. The record features six tracks—Mezzaluna, Diaspora, Hala, Petra, Yafa, and Zefiro—which clearly define her fresh artistic direction. This journey is further enriched by notable national and international collaborations, including You Cannot Erase Us with EMEL, and Straniero by Subsonica, where she is the sole featured artist on the album Terre Rare. 

About Clean Bandit:

Clean Bandit is a creative collective that has pioneered a unique pop blueprint using top-tier production and classical precision with electronic dance energy to create era-defining, multi-billion-streamed anthems. 

Formed in 2008 in Cambridge by Grace Chatto and Jack Patterson, Clean Bandit has, from the very beginning, been driven by a collaborative DIY ethos embracing music, visuals, filmmaking and storytelling to connect artists and audiences alike.  From the now legendary National Rail Disco student club nights, featuring a unique blend of live strings and deep house and dance-pop DJ sets together with drummer Luke Patterson; to writing, directing and producing their music videos; and the human connection of artist-to-artist led collaboration; the collective has evolved from a student experiment into a global, Grammy-winning pop powerhouse.

Now, Clean Bandit is entering its most autonomous and creatively exciting chapter yet with the launch of its own independent imprint: CB X. The X represents the core ethos of Clean Bandit’s artistic future: the creative freedom, purpose and infinite opportunities brought about by collaboration.
