Bradley Simpson and Nieve Ella have teamed up for a new version of ‘Favourite Band’, taken from Simpson’s debut solo album ‘The Panic Years’.
The collaborative version features a new verse from Ella, offering a female perspective to the original song’s narrative about post-breakup musical revenge. The track appears on Simpson’s debut solo album, which reached Number 7 in the UK charts.
“I’ve been a fan of Nieve’s for a long time, she actually popped up on my TikTok years ago and it’s been amazing to see her journey as an artist these past few years,” Simpson says. “She’s got a fantastic voice and is a great writer and we’ve written together a few times over the past few years so it was a really organic process getting ‘Favourite Band’ together.”
Ella adds: “Having a feature on one of Brad’s songs, it’s such an honour! I think his album is such a great representation of how good a writer he is, so getting the chance to be a part of one of the tracks is really exciting for me!”
The pair are set to tour together next month, with Ella joining Simpson as special guest across his UK dates, except for Dublin where Amy Michelle will support.
