Ellie Goulding Joins Mark Ronson and Diplo on New Song: Watch the Video

Silk City—the duo of Mark Ronson and Diplo—have shared a new track with Ellie Goulding. “New Love” arrives with a playful music video directed by Anna Sting. Watch Goulding perform at a lively nightclub in the clip below.

“New Love” marks Silk City’s first release since 2018. “I’m always stoked to get back in the studio with Mark,” Diplo said in a press release. “We’ve been constantly trading ideas since the start of Silk City and finally found the time to bring some of them to life. We came out with this classic house record and Ellie was kind enough to lend her voice to it.”

“I love the music that comes out when Wes and I get together,” Ronson said. “It has a joy to it that’s different from everything else I work on. I’ve known Ellie for over ten years, and it’s great to finally get to make something together. Her voice has such a pure tone that cuts through everything.”

Of the collaboration, Goulding added:

I’ve known Mark and Wes for years and it seemed only right to make a tune together, at a time where we all need to dance and be free, even if just in our kitchens. The song is about losing yourself on your own, not needing to be seen, knowing that the one that got away could be just as happy as this too. The main concept is dancing on your own not needing to be seen.

Ellie Goulding released her fourth studio album Brightest Blue last year. It followed 2015’s Delirium.
