Four Tet Shares New Ellie Goulding Collaboration In My Dreams

Four Tet has reunited with Ellie Goulding for a new collaboration, In My Dreams.
Propelled by abrasive, distorted beats that contrast with light electronic effects and Goulding's sweet, melodic vocals, the track is not the first time the two artists have joined forces. Goulding previously provided vocals for Keiran Hebden's 2020 'Sixteen Oceans' track Baby, which was followed by the London-based producer's Grammy-nominated remix of the singer-songwriter's 2022 track Easy Lover. Four Tet commented:
"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. 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."
Hebden released his latest album, 'Three', in March via his own label Text Records. He's set to headline a huge show in Manchester on October 19 as part of The Warehouse Project series, ahead of a London date at Drumsheds on November 2. Tickets are on sale now.
Goulding released her most recent album, 'Higher Than Heaven', in 2023.
Four Tet Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Sat October 19 2024 - MANCHESTER Mayfield Depot
