Ellie Goulding 'Burn' Tiesto Remix AUDIO As 'Halcyon Days' Album Approaches
Tiesto, one of the world's most renowned DJs, put his own spin on Ellie Goulding's latest single Burn.
The Dutch DJ, who posted the song on Twitter on Saturday, created a faster beat, one that will encourage listeners to fist pump. Fans took to Twitter to express their love for the remix.
"I've never heard such a beautiful remix," wrote one user.
"Awesome!!!!! @Tiesto remix of Burn by @EllieGoulding is to great!! Listen," wrote another.
Despite Tiesto's little twist, the song's lyrics remain the same.
"When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard. Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world. We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky," Goulding sings.
The original version of Burn will appear on Halcyon Days, the rerelease of the 26-year-old's sophomore album Halcyon. The 2012 record peaked at No. 9 on Billboard showing a major advancement from her debut album. Her first album, Lights, only peaked at No. 21 on the charts.
Goulding spoke about her sophomore album with GQ in 2012 and said a significant portion of the record was influenced by her break-up with Greg James, a BBC Radio 1 DJ.
"It was inevitable. I find it hard to not write about things that happen to me. In any relationship, you can't predict anything," she said. "Like, I met someone else [DJ and producer Skrillex] - I could never, in a million years, have predicted that."
She was also asked whether or not those she writes about take offense to any of the dedicated songs. The singer revealed that her ex-boyfriends are rarely caught off-guard.
"No, if you're with an artist, that's what it is. When I was with Greg, I'd write certain things about him," she said.
Halcyon Days is expected for release on August 26 and it will feature seven new songs, according to the singer's website.
