New Tunes Mate! Ellie Goulding “Easy Lover”

Ellie Goulding just released her new song “Easy Lover”. I thought for a second it was a reimagination of Phil Collin’s 1980s hit but it’s an original.

Ellie said, “Truthfully, this song started life about 5 or 6 years ago. I was coming to the end of the Delirium cycle and started on some ideas for the next record. I wrote it with Greg Kurstin (who I’ve worked with many times before) & Julia Michaels and I always knew there was something special about this song but it never really had a “home”. We tried different versions over the years and none of them felt quite right. When I started working on my new record I revisited it and weirdly, I’d just seen Big Sean’s recent Coachella set and was just blown away by his presence. I’ve been a fan for so long and he even sampled me on his Hall of Fame album so I decided to reach out and see if he’d be interested. Fortunately, he said yes and it became the song you hear now. I hope you all enjoy it and I’m so excited to share more music with you soon.”
