Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding have teamed up again on their newest track, 'Outside', after their collaboration on 2013's 'I Need Your Love'. The duo certainly produce great work together, and 'Outside' is your classic dance-pop track with a sort of house music flair. The build-up to the chorus helps to engage listeners in the song, and Goulding's vocals are impressive and unique. 'Outside' will undoubtedly be your new break-up anthem, and its electronic vibes really help set the mood, with Goulding and Harris proving that they make a dynamic pair.
You've got Harris' EDM and Goulding's wistful airy vocals that have that unique edge, and the result is a track that is easy to listen to and a killer to dance to. You know the tempo is going to build and the bass come in, and this is perhaps one of the most engaging things about the track, it sets you up with subtle synths and then really lets you have it when the chorus comes in - "I'll show you what it feels like/now I'm on the outside/ We did everything right/ Now I'm on the outside".
The video itself sees the pair in separate relationships and features some stop in time motion, with bikes hanging in the air and mirrors crashing everywhere. Goulding spends most of her time 'outside' (how fitting) and kneeling down in the street as she bursts out her lyrics about the deconstruction of relationships. It's a catchy song, and Goulding's vocals provide a suitable balance of instrumentals to actual lyrical content.
