Ellie Goulding is back with a new single, ‘Ravers,’ trading introspective balladry for a sublime house anthem that marks her most festival-ready release in years.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 Steeped in anthemic energy, the track leans into a bright four-on-the-floor groove, the kind built for arms in the air and sweat slicking walls.
Goulding’s vocals glimmer atop radiant house production, occasionally breaking into falsetto before the beat swells back in.Her lyrics dwell on surrender and euphoria, the sensation of losing yourself to a night out and to the people beside you: “High on what you decide / I wanna light up when it feels right / Falling like waterfalls / Scream or just be quiet / I wanna be the joy in your ride / Ravers until we die.” ‘Ravers’ will appear on the chart-topping artist’s sixth album, I Know Too Much, due out September 4.
The new single follows ‘Black Prada Dress’ and ‘4 Seasons,’ both of which leaned more into introspective balladry than euphoric buoyancy.‘Ravers’ breaks from that pattern, recalling the era of ‘Lights,’ the version of Goulding who soundtracked a generation’s nights out.
