Aside from a few features and releasing choice covers, British songstress Ellie Goulding has remained largely quiet for the last three years…until now.

Goulding recently released her newest song “Close to Me” which features production from Diplo and a feature verse from Rae Sremmurd member, Swae Lee. Not to be done up by Goulding’s impressive vocals on the track, Swae switches things up with a notable lengthy crooning verse. “Close to Me” serves as the first original single from Ellie Goulding since the release of her album, Delirium, back in 2015.

Listen to Diplo and Ellie Goulding’s “Close to Me” featuring Swae Lee above.

For more music news, Kid Cudi recently began working on a new album and teased new music is on the way.
