Ellie Goulding's cover of 'High For This' by The Weeknd was already a thing of some beauty when it was premiered at the end of May 2012. Now, with added production duties from French remixer Monsieur Adi, Ellie's first new music in two years is quite simply stunning.
Proving conclusively that almost any tune can be improved with a liberal addition of strings and a dash of electronica, Adi's reworking is a six and a half minute exercise in epic, with Ellie's haunting and fragile vocals drifting above his subtle electro production.
