TRACK OF THE NIGHT: Starry Eyed


Ellie Goulding / Starry Eyed

I present to you Ellie Goulding with possibly the most perfect pop moment of the year so far. Starry Eyed is a delicate depiction of falling in love and to be honest it's truly magical. Ellie's enchantingly childlike vocals pierce through the magical electroacoustic soundscape (courtesy of upcoming producer Starsmith) as she sings of lightning, colours and carousels. This really is a dream of a track and by the time you reach the pinnacle moment in which Ellie chants "next thing, we're touching..." you literally feel like you've gone to heaven. The beauty of Starry Eyed is the way in which it doesn't strive to be too in your face or over the top, instead it ends up sounding unassumingly wonderful and essentially effortless. With all this in mind, it looks like Ellie has a very bright future ahead of her...she could well be pop's best kept secret.


A big mention should also go the Jakwob remix of Starry Eyed which you can hear right here (it's pretty AMAZING - definitely takes the track to another level!):
