Lupe Fiasco - Lightwork ft. Ellie Goulding & Bassnectar


Lupe returns with the sort of track that perhaps should have been on his disappointingly mainstream Lasers album. Sampling Ellie Goulding, he creates an enticing mainstream song, without sacrificing his integrity as a rapper, with his verse being intelligent and something that’s worth listening to more than once.

One that will be added to my car playlist immediately! Download below.

Tinie Tempah ft. Ellie Goulding-Wonderman [Video]

Here we have the the latest video from Tinie Tempah’s album Disc-Overy. Certainly one for the mainstream fans, and whilst I can’t really protest to this being my type of music, when I first purchased the album this was one of the tracks that I was looking forward to hearing after seeing that Ellie Goulding was going to feature.

Unfortunately I thought it was quite a weak effort all round, with such lyrical ‘masterpieces’ as “These haters couldn’t get to where I am with a full tank of petrol, My uncle used to drink a can of kestrel when life got stressful” I doubt you could argue. The video itself is clearly inspired by the 70′s cult classic The Six Million Dollar Man, and it’s actually not too bad an effort, making the track slightly more enjoyable.

Ellie Goulding Covers Rihanna’s Only Girl


Talk about stamping your authority on a song. The talented Ellie Goulding recorded this on Friday morning for BBC’s Live Lounge, and ignored the techno vibe of the original, opting for an organic, easier-on-the-ear version of her own.

Not only are we treated to her unique vocals, but she’s backed by a string section that improve this track immeasurably, giving it a richer sound. It’s not difficult to improve on Rihanna’s vocals, but Ellie undoubtedly goes a step further with this superb cover.
