Posted February 10, 201411 yr http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/associatedcontent/470_2742137.jpg It seems that DJ Fresh confirmed to Capital FM yesterday that a new version of his and Ellie Goulding's collaboration 'Flashlight' will be the next single from Ellie's repackaged second album Halcyon Days. This article on Capital FM says that DJ Fresh said: "It's a track called 'Flashlight' and we wrote it a few months ago and it was kinda like a bundle track on her album. "We're doing a new version of it – a special single version for later in the year." This isn't completely confirmed as the next single, but I thought I'd make a topic for now and I'll merge it back into the Halcyon Days thread if it never happens! If it does happen though as DJ Fresh says it will then I'm very pleased as it is probably my favourite track left on Halcyon Days that isn't yet a single, along with 'Stay Awake'.
February 10, 201411 yr I really hope this smashes! Almost everything Ellie makes is flawless and this keeps on that trend! :wub:
February 10, 201411 yr Noooooooooo. 'Goodness Gracious' was a good choice because it was actually very Ellie but this is just parading the sellout for everyone to see.
February 11, 201411 yr Doesn't it depend a little on how well Goodness Gracious does? I don't see another single should the latter fail to go top 40 (though I'm sure it'll get there).
February 11, 201411 yr There was an attempt to release "Stay Awake", but I don't think there was much interest. Have they given up on "Goodness Gracious" altogether?
February 11, 201411 yr Wait, have they scrapped Goodness Gracious or not? WHEN IS THIS RELEASING? This is too intense for me :cry:
February 11, 201411 yr A fan of both artists but the song just doesn't work, I think their two sounds just clash and it ends up creating a dull 'nothingy' song. Also, I think this is going to be DJ Fresh's single rather than Ellies.
February 11, 201411 yr Author Wait, have they scrapped Goodness Gracious or not? WHEN IS THIS RELEASING? This is too intense for me :cry: No, the article states "later in the year".
February 11, 201411 yr Author It's a DJ Fresh release ain't it? It's not really very clear at the moment as it is a joint collaboration that has already appeared on Ellie's album but DJ Fresh has been the one talking about it. It is 'Album Only' though on Halcyon Days so they could release it as DJ Fresh's next single instead I guess.
February 16, 201411 yr Why won't the woman release Stay Awake? :drama: Although this isn't bad. as much as i'd love Stay Awake to get a release, i think it'd probably do worse than GG is right now. Madeon-produced singles never tend to get the chart success they actually deserve (yes, that includes Changing of the Seasons </3)
July 16, 201411 yr Author @DJFreshUK My new single Flashlight feat @elliegoulding is @zanelowe #HottestRecord tonight on @bbcr1 – tune in from 7pm! @DJFreshUK "was flashlight redone for the single at all? or same as album version? stoked!" Rerecorded and reproduced Excited to listen to the new version!
July 16, 201411 yr Flashlight is one of my favourites from Halcyon Days - quite excited about this release! Such a shame the direction she took with Lights/Bright Lights didn't continue on with Halcyon/Halcyon Days, but definitely a fan of this song!
July 16, 201411 yr It was pretty good ~ not too different from the original but there were some very nice changes stylistically!
