I’m so disconnected from it, but at the same time the fact that it makes me feel happy and makes me want to dance is like, I am connected to it. Now, as a genre that’s coming through as a pop genre and really dominating, as an art form I find it really interesting and really enjoyable. So, hip hop was never really part of my childhood, I guess. I grew up in the English countryside, and I grew up on a mixture of folk music and a bit of rave music because out in the countryside, we didn’t have country music, we just had rave music and dance music and we’d have these raves out in the countryside, in the fields and forests and stuff. It’s music that I wanna dance to, and it’s music that I really enjoy listening to. What has inspired you to incorporate more hip hop into your music lately? “Close To Me” is another one of your recent singles that includes a hip hop feature, but with Swae Lee instead. I’ve never really wanted to be tied down to one genre and if you don’t have to be, then that’s great. And he did an amazing job on the track, it’s a good parallel I guess. He definitely has really interesting melodies and ideas. He seems to evade being pinned down to one genre, but did you notice if he had a particular pop sensibility when you were working with him? I like the kind of innocence he had with that first record, and I just asked him to be on the song and he said yes. When I heard “Lucid Dreams,” I heard something special in his voice and really wanted to work with him at some point. How did this collaboration with Juice WRLD come together? Your music video for “Hate Me” has amassed over 13 million views in a matter of days. I think it’s important for me to get the music right at my wedding. I also think it’s nice to have a moment with an artist you really love, just because it’s a chance for everyone you love, you and your partner, to see someone perform that you feel encapsulates what you love about music. I love things that people can sing along to. I’ve taken these ideas and executed them. I’m just excited for the next chapter, for sure.ĭo you have any ideas for a wedding performer? Or maybe a DJ? My partner is in New York right now, but it’s been fun. It’s been a great way for me to see my friends and family a lot more. Right now I’m just enjoying the process and it’s fun. How’s the wedding prep going? Are you nervous? Excited? I’m getting ready for my wedding, actually. I was meant to be in Botswana this week, but for various reasons I couldn’t end up going, so I’m just making myself busy, and I’m in the studio. I’m hoping to have a few days off next week. I’ve been in the studio pretty much every day, and I’ve been rehearsing in the mornings for some of the festivals coming up. Goulding opened up to W about her excitement about planning a wedding and an album at the same time, the art world intel she’s picked up from her fiancé, and her ever-evolving relationship to social media, here. The ceremony will likely include high profile guests such as Prince William and Kate Middleton (she sang at their wedding in 2011), and Princess Eugenie, whose wedding Goulding attended last fall. Next month, she will marry her fiancé Caspar Jopling at York Minster. While the song’s lyrics paint an ominous portrait of what happens when you follow an ex-or a soon-to-be ex-on social media, Goulding’s real-life relationships are very much in tact.
Their music video accumulated over 3 million views in just a matter of 24 hours, and has since climbed somewhere into the 16 million range. Both artists seemingly evade being pinned down to one musical genre, and Goulding has never wanted to be corralled inside of a box. It may initially seem like a surprising pairing to put them both on a sad pop breakup banger, but there are more parallels between the two than one might think. Goulding’s most recent venture, her single “Hate Me,” features gen-Z emo rapper Juice WRLD. In recent years, Ellie Goulding‘s love songs-”Love Me Like You Do” and “Close To Me,” for example-have continued to top the charts, but her newest track veers into slightly darker territory.
