Ellie Goulding ft. Tinie Tempah - Hanging On

Ellie Goulding - Hanging On

Producer: Active Child

Album: None (Promo Single)

Label: Cherrytree

One of the beautiful things about music in the digital age is that the walls that existed between genres are crumbling more by the day. In 2012 it’s not uncommon to hear a dubstep record featuring an indie rock sample with a hip-hop guest feature. Case in point, Ellie Goulding’s new release Hanging On. For Hanging On, Goulding, a darling of the indie pop/rock scene who’s become a favorite sample source for more progressive hip-hop producers, covers Active Child’s single of the same name, giving the original production a more electronically heavy and pounding feel. It’s a perfect contrast to Ellie’s soaring and often haunting vocals, but as if the layers here weren’t already complex enough, she then recruits UK rap superstar and Happy Birthday creator Tinie Tempah to deliver a guest verse that’s often blunt where the rest of the track is complex. While Hanging On was created solely for the sake of making some genre-crushing music, those intrigued to find out what else Ellie has in store can check out her Lights album, available now, and keep an ear out for her upcoming and currently unscheduled Bright Lights release.

Young Swish Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1227	Rating: Young Swish's Top Rated Songs This isn't the second coming of Wonderman which is what I had hoped for, but still a solid song. As of late, Tinie Tempah continues his streak of putting in weak guest features. The fame has certainly changed that man.
