Jakwob and Goulding, the Sequel
Ellie Goulding has been featured on this blog a lot. The campus has been obsessed with Starry Eyed (mp3) for months and you’d think any blogpost about a collaboration between the two thoroughly covered musicians would be old news…
However, Jakwob is back again with another addictive remix of Goulding that will once again push dubstep into the mainstream electro-pop scene.
Ellie Goulding - “Under the Sheets (Jakwob Remix)” (mp3 from we.likeit.indie)
I CAN’T TELL WHICH ONE I LIKE MORE.
While remixes of Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead are becoming less exciting, this cover breathes fresh life into the track. Ellie Goulding first came onto my radar with her cover of Bon Iver’s “Wolves”, the song managed to take the already etherreal track to a more minimally beautiful sound.
With the help of Starsmith, she mellows out the Passion Pit boys and gives the song a much more laid back make over. It’s great to hear an excellent acoustic musician take on electro beats flawlessly.
