Few people in the world haven’t heard an Ellie Goulding song in their lifetime. She has been bringing us music since 2010 and has been fortunate in this last decade to have worked with some very credible dance artists. Her impact is not what it once was, but she can still be heard making new music and trying out new sounds in the dance industry, with her most recent in fact being an uncredited vocal. Here are her dance collaborations and which one is the best is up to you.


Summit (with Skrillex)


Fall Into The Sky (with Zedd & Lucky Date)


I Need Your Love (with Calvin Harris)


Stay Awake (with Madeon)


Flashlight (with DJ Fresh)


Don’t Leave (with Seven Lions)


Powerful (with Major Lazer)


Outside (with Calvin Harris)


First Time (with Kygo)


Close To Me (with Diplo)


Mama (with Clean Bandit)


Baby (with Four Tet)



Which of her current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see her feature with in the future?

I like some of her features, but not all of them, in fact at least half I haven’t come back to since their release, so here is the order I have rated her current dance features from most to least favourite;

1. I Need Your Love (with Calvin Harris)
2. Flashlight (with DJ Fresh)
3. Summit (with Skrillex)
4. Outside (with Calvin Harris)
5. Don’t Leave (with Seven Lions)
6. Stay Awake (with Madeon)
7. Powerful (with Major Lazer)
8. First Time (with Kygo)
9. Fall Into The Sky (with Zedd & Lucky Date)
10. Close To Me (with Diplo)
11. Baby* (with Four Tet)
12. Mama (with Clean Bandit)

* Uncredited feature.

Where Ellie is in her career right now, there isn’t really a particular production team I would fancy her to make a song with, but if I had to come up with a couple just to see what they can come up with, I would say David Guetta and maybe Jonas Blue.

Also just to put it on record, I was aware that a features thread existed here from 2019 but it was only for 4 of her songs;

Becky Hill’s time will have to wait but there are still plenty more dance vocalists for us to review! ^_^

 

1. I Need Your Love (with Calvin Harris)

2. Outside (with Calvin Harris) [of course I'm going to rank the Calvin songs as 1 and 2, but they really are the big standouts of this list]

3. Summit (with Skrillex) [although it'd've been nice if she took more of a role in it]

4. First Time (with Kygo)

5. Close To Me (with Diplo)

6. Stay Awake (with Madeon)

7. Flashlight (with DJ Fresh) [6 and 7 are fairly interchangeable]

8. Baby (with Four Tet)

9. Mama (with Clean Bandit) [such a shame they waste their collab potential on this]

10. Powerful (with Major Lazer)

 

don't remember:

Don’t Leave (with Seven Lions)

Fall Into The Sky (with Zedd & Lucky Date)

01. Outside

02. Close To Me

03. I Need Your Love

 

Yes. Outside and CTM above INYL.

 

She's been on some absolutely brilliant tracks. Summit, Fall Into The Sky & Mama are all extremely underappreciated tracks (particularly Summit <3). Obviously the Calvin tracks will hoover up the votes in this but I'm going for the incredible Flashlight. Has to be one of the most euphoric dance songs of last decade.

 

I Need Your Love

Mama are all extremely underappreciated tracks

 

omg THIS. I'll never understand the huge level of hate which is directed towards it :lol:

Voted for 'I Need Your Love' but 'Baby' comes close to it already tbh

"Baby" easily. I like "Close To Me" and "Summit" but not much else.

Stay Awake beats all of these by miles

 

Close to Me

Close to Me

 

taste x

Voted for outside. Euphoric tune, good Ellie vocal and and those synths are unique.

 

'Powerful' would be second for me actually, not the most dance-y but a good song and it does have a good dubstep style drop.

Fall Into The Sky is THAT bop. Can’t believe I’m the only one that’s voted for it

I Need Your Love for me.

Stay Awake beats all of these by miles

 

 

this! nothing is coming even close!

Voted for Stay Awake, but very close between that and I Need Your Love!

1. I Need Your Love

2. First Time

3. Outside

4. Powerful

5. Close To Me

6. Mama

7. Flashlight

8. Stay Awake

 

Haven't heard the rest. All the ones above are great though.

don't remember:

Don’t Leave (with Seven Lions)

Fall Into The Sky (with Zedd & Lucky Date)

Such an omission!

If there's any chance to vote for two tracks, I'd choose these two, actually. Going for 'Fall Into The Sky' (hey Lewis).

Nevermind, I vote for everything! (except Mama and, probably, Close To Me, tired of hearing this a LOT on our radio stations)

1. I Need Your Love (with Calvin Harris)

2. Outside (with Calvin Harris) [of course I'm going to rank the Calvin songs as 1 and 2, but they really are the big standouts of this list]

3. Summit (with Skrillex) [although it'd've been nice if she took more of a role in it]

4. First Time (with Kygo)

5. Close To Me (with Diplo)

6. Stay Awake (with Madeon)

7. Flashlight (with DJ Fresh) [6 and 7 are fairly interchangeable]

8. Baby (with Four Tet)

9. Mama (with Clean Bandit) [such a shame they waste their collab potential on this]

10. Powerful (with Major Lazer)

 

don't remember:

Don’t Leave (with Seven Lions)

Fall Into The Sky (with Zedd & Lucky Date)

You don’t remember Don’t Leave?! That’s her second best!!!!
