Ellie Goulding Lights (Bassnectar Remix) by Bassnectar
Now, for the new remixes. "Lights" was written by co-written by Goulding and co-written and produced by Biff Stannard and Ash Howes, peaking at #49 on the Official UK Singles Chart back when it was released in March. While it has yet to chart in the U.S., following Goulding's appearance on Saturday Night Live as musical guest, sales for her album Lights increased by 231%, re-entering the Billboard 200 at #82, and climbing to #72 {SOURCE}. On the Digital Albums chart, Lights peaked at #15 and the single "Lights" is currently sitting at #115 on the iTunes pop singles chart.
The newly released remix EP features mixes from Bassnectar, MK Charlee, Max Gordon and Shook. Check out the fantastic Bassnectar mix above and download the EP on iTunes HERE. I've also re-posted the delicious Sophie Muller-directed video for "Lights" below so feast your eyes and get ready for an Ellie summer!
