4.3.13 - New Music - Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goudling together? On one song? Heaven.

While “I Need Your Love” isn’t quite as anthemic as the Florence Welch-assisted “Sweet Nothing”, it is just as good of a time as several other singles released from the Scottish producer’s third album. “I Need Your Love” is, as of yesterday, the SEVENTH single off ’18 Months’. SEVEN. Can you believe it? This may signal the end of the promotion of ’18 Months’, as the track doesn’t have quite the same radio appeal as “Feel So Close” or “Let’s Go”.

The chorus is, as expected, sparse in the way of vocals but hard-hitting in terms of production. Percolating beats will get you moving, even if Ellie’s low-key voice doesn’t. The song has already charted in many countries, and though it was only released yesterday as a single, it is already at gold status in New Zealand.

Monsters, both of them.
