Clean Bandit announce Louisa Johnson collaboration

Louisa Johnson has collaborated with Clean Bandit.

The 18-year-old singer - who won 'The X Factor' last year with Rita Ora as her mentor - has recorded 'Tears' with Clean Bandit, her first release since winning single 'Forever Young'.

Clean Bandit tweeted: "We're really excited to announce our new single 'Tears' ft. @louisa! Stay tuned for more info.. (sic)"

Louisa also tweeted the cover art for the single and simply wrote "#tears".

The blonde beauty previously vowed to storm the charts with her own hits - after her cover of Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young' flopped.

She had the lowest chart entry debut of any winner in 'The X Factor's 11-year history, with the track entering the UK charts at number nine, but she's confident her own material will prove to be popular with the public.

She explained: "I have so many ideas so it is a case of trying them out. I am young and I want to portray myself in a fun way."

Louisa admitted last year that she was looking forward to getting in the studio and establishing her own distinctive style.

She said: "I think it is a case of me going to the studio and trying things out, and see if they work, and if they don't, they don't ... I will have to keep trying."
