British pop singer Ellie Goulding has announced the release of a new electronic dance track titled Ravers, created alongside producer Dave Hamelin.
The upcoming single is scheduled for release on Wednesday, marking a return to the club-oriented electronic sounds that have defined several key moments of her music career.
Goulding revealed the project directly to fans in a message shared across her social media accounts, explaining that she felt her listeners needed the track right now. She added that she created the song with Hamelin and decided to share it immediately rather than holding it back for a larger promotional campaign.
The title Ravers pays homage to rave culture and electronic dance music as a shared experience centered on energy and dance. Goulding described the concept as connecting with the atmosphere of club sessions and the sense of freedom found on the dance floor.
A Return to Electronic and Rave Culture
The collaboration pairs Goulding's distinct pop vocals with Hamelin's production background in alternative and electronic music. Goulding has established a reputation as one of the prominent British pop artists working within international dance music, previously teaming up with electronic producers throughout her career.
Born in Hereford, England, Goulding first gained widespread recognition after winning the BBC Sound of 2010 poll and releasing her debut album Lights. She has since scored multiple global hits, including Burn and Love Me Like You Do, while frequently crossing over into electronic genres through high-profile dance tracks.
Upcoming Album and Recent Projects
While Goulding has not shared further production details about Ravers ahead of its midweek premiere, the track comes amid a busy period for the artist.
She recently announced that a new studio album will arrive later this year, noting during the announcement that she had written hundreds of songs for the upcoming release. She also recently teamed up with rock band Muse on the collaborative single Hush.
In addition to her music releases, Goulding made headlines earlier this year when she showcased her pregnancy at the BAFTA awards ceremony while delivering a speech supporting emerging musical talent.
