Nigerian star Ruger has now sung the official remix of Cry Baby, in response to Anne-Marie’s vocals. He played the lead character in the original music video, and the journey continues.
Clean Bandit made their official return to music last month with ‘Cry Baby’, created with Anne-Marie and David Guetta. The track’s official music video (watch here) was directed, produced, and edited by Clean Bandit, and also featured a big cameo from Ruger ahead of today’s remixed release. Last week, Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie performed ‘Cry Baby‘ on the launch show of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing – watch here.
‘Cry Baby’ marked the second collaboration between 8x Brit-nominated act Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie, following their internationally adored track ‘Rockabye’ with Sean Paul. The self-directed music video for ‘Rockabye’ is about to hit three billion views on YouTube, and the song is one of the four Clean Bandit tracks to hit over a billion Spotify streams, placing them in Spotify’s Billions Club four times. The only other UK bands to reach this milestone are Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, and One Direction.
Clean Bandit began teasing their new music at the start of 2024 and featured on two Latin bangers earlier this Summer: ‘MAR AZUL‘ with Colombian reggaeton giants Piso 21 & Jhosy, then ‘Lambo Sport’ with the Puerto Rican rapper Darell. This music was written during an extended writing trip in Miami at the start of this year. Grace recently appeared on the covers of Voir Magazine and Fault Magazine, speaking to both magazines about what fans can expect from their new era.
