Four Tet has teamed up with Ellie Goulding for a new single called ‘In My Dreams’. Check it out below.
“At the end of last year, Ellie texted me with a couple of voice notes for a song idea, words and melodies she was singing into her phone, and she asked me if I could use them to make something,” Kieran Hebden shared in a statement. “She’s told me in the past she likes to send me vocals that I can just use as sound and turn into whatever I want (which is how our song ‘Baby’ happened a few years ago). I found other noises to go with it and made ‘In My Dreams’. She added some new vocal parts, but we ended up keeping the voice note recordings as the main vocal. I guess the first take is often the most magical. I wanted to make something that was all about juxtaposing harsh, aggressive sound with the delicate and intimate.”
Back in 2014, Four Tet remixed Goulding’s hit ‘Burn’. In 2020, the UK pop singer joined the producer’s Sixteen Oceans track ‘Baby’.
Earlier this year, Hebden released his latest Four Tet album, Three. Goulding’s most recent album was 2020’s Brightest Blue.
