MUSICLandNEWS: CLEAN BANDIT & TÄRA La Dolce Vita

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. 

‘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.
