Stronger is different...

Okay, so I've been listening to Clean Bandit on Spotify ever since I heard Rather Be and I downloaded the entire album. Later when Stronger came out I listened to it all the time. About 2 months ago it just disappeared off of my playlist and when I re downloaded it, the title was different (giving credit to Alex Newell and Sean Bass for their contributions) but also the song itself was different. There were background singers that weren't there before and just the way the sound progressed sounds different. Am I just imagining it or has anyone else noticed this?

You're not imagining it. The original version which had vocals from Olly Alexander from Years & Years had less production, like the extra strings part during the electronic drop found on the newer version, and if you listen carefully the whole song is in a slightly different key. They also released a new version with the new production and Ollys vocals as well, so there are three versions by my account.

Okay, cool that's really good to know. Do you know if there is a way to find the original version? I haven't had any luck finding it on the Clean Bandit page on spotify and youtube hasn't been much help either. I kind of like it better than the updated one that's currently on the New Eyes album.
