"Rather Be" had several vocalists before Jess Glynne
Quote:
You have a pretty strong relationship with Jess Glynne. You've recorded two songs together ("Rather Be" and "Real Love"). How did you become friends? How did the partnership come about?
Chatto: She recorded one thing before we met her, which is a song called "My Love," by (English DJ) Route 94. We'd recorded our song with another singer at the time, but when we heard her voice, it was really perfect for our song, "Rather Be," and asked her if she'd be interested in learning it and recording it. She did, and after that everyone felt that was the best version of the song. Then we became friends from there.
"Rather Be" had a different singer at first?
Chatto: Yeah, we tried it with quite a few different singers actually. We probably finished the song about a year before we met (Glynne). None of the recordings were quite right before that.
