This electro version of the song has a strong pop undercurrent that won’t leave an overly sugary sweet taste in your mouth. This version of Starry Eyed would be the perfect soundtrack to sipping drinks in an ultra trendy lounge bar, you know, the kind with awkward sofas, tables that are too low and “ambient lighting.” When you get about two and a half minutes into the song the tempo changes, a keyboard comes in and it sounds like a new remix. Xaph’s version of Lights starts off showcasing Ellie’s soprano and then halfway through drops off and becomes an instrumental. If you check his Twitter he frequently tweets his British labelmates, saying cheers and calling people “bruv.” That being said it should be no surprise that he has done a few Ellie Goulding remixes (and even helped her out with a cover of The Weeknd’s “High for This”). It is no secret that Xaphoon Jones is a little bit of an anglophile. Draper’s splices in this song make Ellie’s voice drip sex more so than usual. When she released this track via Twitter she called it “the beginning of her new journey.” This tweet preempted her new album annoucement. “Hanging On” is actually a track by Active Child that Ellie Goulding decided to cover and throw Tinie Tempah on.

Her ability to fit in with so many different styles gives producers the chance to have some fun and get creative, and they’ve taken notice.Īs Ellie gears up to release her sophomore album, Halcyon, on October 8th (pre-order it here), it is only fitting that we revisit the tracks from her debut album and the hundreds of remixes they inspired.

Her voice sounds just as good over a piano as it does over an electronic onslaught, and she can pull off the sensitive acoustic track with as much confidence as the bass-heavy party-starter. Ellie Goulding is the perfect candidate to be remixed.
