Ellie Goulding

Blonde singer Ellie Goulding has released a video for her cover of electronic artist Active Child's track "Hanging On" featuring rapper Tinie Tempah. The clip reveals the 25-year-old and girlfriend of Skrillex having a late-night stroll while wearing a leather jacket and an orange beanie. Lights flash and flicker throughout the whole trippy video as scenes of the singer and other bystanders are shown.

She appears significantly more bare as she sings, "Tell me if you feel this pain/ 'Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain/ I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me," while plainly standing with her back against the white wall. Tinie Tempah also spits out some lines near the end of the track but does not appear in the video. The pair had previously collaborated on Tempah's song, "Wonderwoman". Tempah himself is due to release his second studio album, Demonstration sometime in October.

She released the free stream and download link of the track through her Twitter account on Tuesday, July 10. She included the message, "Here's the beginning of my new journey. Enjoy and share responsibly." It has since been downloaded over 4,000 times and played over 300,000 times.

Meanwhile, Ellie Goulding and Skrillex were recently recording with Swedish House Mafia, reportedly for Goulding's new album. Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia spoke about the demo the three acts made together, saying the session was "no pressure, just fun".

The singer is preparing to announce the details of her follow-up to her 2010 debut Lights which is expected to come out later this year. She said: "in this business you don't know until you see it on iTunes".
