Because Electrorash will never tire of Miss Goulding and her increasingly bouncy hair, here are the latest offerings ahead of the release of Starry Eyed on February 22nd by Polydor. What’s great about this single being released now, almost a year after the demo first hit the blogs, is you get to fall in love with this twinkly nugget of a pop song twice over. This time it benefits from Starsmith’s delicate touch, with added layers of distorted vocals, fleeting cosmic flickers, and heavy bass sighs, the final version is polished, but still as infinitely charming as the original. And everything about the video is also lovely, except for that boxy gold monstrosity that should really never be worn by anyone ever.

On the remix side of things, there’s the long long loooong awaited Russ Chimes gem, which features big house piano stabs and handclaps, and an absolute killer of a drop; UK’s Monarchy give the track a new, relaxed pace as it ambles unhurried through cosmic synth flourishes and slowed-down, cruisey vocals; while the appearance of Theophilus London in Penguin Prison’s remix takes it somewhere entirely different once again.

Keep an eye out for her debut album, Lights, later on this year. (Although you probably won’t need to, as it’s fairly unlikely this is going to be the last time we mention it here.)
