Zara Larsson has shared her excitement over topping this week’s TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart with Clean Bandit song ‘Symphony’ – which was first released in 2017 – due to a viral dolphin meme on the social media platform.What’s now called the ‘Symphony’ dolphin meme has caught traction as of late for its simple execution – juxtaposing vibrant illustrations of dolphins with negative or mundane statements by users, all while the uplifting EDM-pop of ‘Symphony’ gives the joke a final kicker.Larsson happily joined the trend by sharing her own ‘Symphony’ dolphin meme that reads “What the fuck is happening”, along with posting a collection of her favourites from the trend.“Do you wanna be a part of my SYMPHONY,” she writes, along with an outpour of dolphin, unicorn, and rainbow emojis.A post shared by Zara Larsson (@zaralarsson)Clean Bandit themselves joined in the trend on the platform, calling the dolphins “inspiring” and asking fans through the meme: “Do you want another song with Zara?”.‘Symphony’, first released as a Clean Bandit single in 2017, became the lead single for their second album ‘What Is Love?’ in 2018.Clean Bandit, known for their fusion of EDM and pop with classical music instrumentation, revealed earlier this month that they were pushed by their record label to remove strings from their songs and “told to stop making pop music”.“There was a push for us to stop having strings in our music,” Chatto told BBC, while Patterson added: “We were told to stop making pop music, as well.

Clean Bandit have revealed that they were pushed to remove strings from their songs and “told to stop making pop music”.The trio – comprised of Jack Patterson, Luke Patterson and Grace Chatto – opened up about their time in the industry during a new interview with the BBC, and revealed how they were pressured by their record label to drastically alter their sound.The English electronic music group formed in 2008 and have gone on to top the charts multiple times for their collaborations with the likes of Demi Lovato, Jess Glynne, Zara Larsson, Sean Paul and more.While securing four Number One singles, 10 Top 10 hits, two Ivor Novello songwriting awards and a Grammy, the three-piece have revealed that they were urged by their record label to remove strings from their music and turn their sights solely towards the dance genre.“There was a push for us to stop having strings in our music,” Chatto told the outlet, while Patterson added: “We were told to stop making pop music, as well. We were sent dance music playlists on Spotify and told ‘Your music has to sit on here – only Harry Styles can make pop music’.”Part of the push they recalled was due to their presence as “shy and unassuming people” rather than as immediately distinctive pop stars.

Clean Bandit have teamed up with Swedish producer A7S for a new upbeat dance track, titled ‘Everything But You’.Arriving last Friday (February 18), the cut is a high-energy dancefloor filler, with summery production, smooth electronic elements and a catchy hook. It was co-written with a number of hitmakers, including Digital Farm Animals, Plested, Franklin and Tom Grennan.An accompanying animated lyric video also landed alongside the song, featuring surreal, scrapbook-like scenes.
