From her very first album in 2010, Ellie Goulding’s songs have been perfect to remix. I’m not sure what it is about her voice, but some mysterious quality lends itself to electronic music better than almost any other. She released “Close To Me” with Diplo and Swae Lee at the end 2018, and now it’s received four ficial remixes, including a stellar, instant classic from Zeds Dead.
Think the Jakwob remix “Starry Eyed” or the Bassnectar remix “Lights” and you can imagine that a Zeds Dead remix Ellie Goulding would be on a similar or higher level. Well, I wouldn’t say this is on the level the “Lights” remix, but by Zeds Dead standards, this is definitely a new classic.
Zeds Dead are on a run new remixes with this one, including their recent remix Billie Eilish’s “bury a friend,” and I absolutely love it. It feels like a revival their classic sound and I’m hopeful for loads more original music in 2019, but these are definitely quelling a huge craving all the same.
