Clean Bandit’s latest single “Tell Me Where U Go,” featuring trance titan Tiësto and soaring vocals from German songwriter Leony, is a masterclass in genre fusion. Premiered to thunderous applause during Tiësto’s Ultra Music Festival set, this track trades the trio’s familiar string flourishes for a four-on-the-floor pulse that feels built for stadium lights. Jack Patterson’s candid lyric—borrowed straight from a therapy session—grounds the song in raw emotion: “Tell me where you go,” he pleads over cascading synths and tribal djembe rhythms.
Grace Chatto’s cello weaves in and out of Tiësto’s signature trance arpeggios, creating what she dubs “Classical Djembe Trance.” Leony’s crystalline voice cuts through the mix, adding a counterpoint of vulnerability to the track’s relentless drive. Joseph Kahn’s neon-soaked lyric video perfectly mirrors the song’s kinetic energy, transforming every frame into a kaleidoscopic dance of light and shadow.
“Tell Me Where U Go” marks Clean Bandit’s boldest reinvention in years—proof that even a decade of blockbuster anthems can’t dull their appetite for experimentation. If this is a sign of what’s next, summer dancefloors have never sounded so exhilarating.
