[Listen] Ellie Goulding - "Hanging On" Feat. Tinie Tempah (Active Child Cover)

We've not had any new material from Ellie Goulding for quite some time. Her debut LP, Lights, was a huge success in the UK and she went on to release it Stateside under a new name of, Bright Lights, which came with an added few tracks. Heck, she even played the Royal Wedding last year in the UK. She must be doing something right! Today we get some new sounds from her, she's taken on "Hanging On" from Active Child and posted on her Twitter account: "Here's the beginning of my new journey. Enjoy and share responsibly." The track features another UK chart topper, Tinie Tempah. Check it out below. I have a feeling we're going to be getting a lot of new material from young Ellie in the coming 12 months.

Active Child's "Hanging On" has been given the official video treatment and yesterday, Gizmodo premiered the video which sees lots of natural imagery and fly fishing oddly enough. Following the trials of an older, and a younger gentleman surrounded by nature. All the running water from the river certainly matches up to the delicate instrumentation work in the song really well and the song will put you into a light slumber. Beautiful stuff. See what you make of it for yourselves over on Gizmodo.
