Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding they are a tandem that still works. It is said that where there was fire there is always ash and between these two artists, although they never intended to resume this brief courtship they had in the Pleistocene, they have continued to exploit this professional relationship from which disco hits such as I need your love there Out. Now, nearly ten years after their last collaboration, the pair have returned to their old ways with the release of Miracle.
The DJ recently spoke with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about this third track together and how much he loved working with Goulding again. “With her, I feel like I always want the same thing. She’s the only one who can do this stuff,” he explained. “It’s like absolute gold, she has the best voice I’ve heard in years from a dance song.” And he added: “I’m very clear about what I like and dislike about music and artists. One of my favorites is the angelic voice of Ellie Goulding. One of a kind. I don’t get this from nobody else“.
In addition to praising the singer, Calvin Harris devoted a good part of the interview to analyzing Miracle, a song that, according to the producer, is part of this new musical era that he inaugurates with this piece and with which he intends to experiment and make music that differs from his previous works. “I’ve never done anything like this before Miracle“, he commented. “I’ve done things that sound like trance, but I’ve never been so fast.
“When I started making music, I was 14 years old. 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 were for me the formative era of trance and house. So what I was doing was was to take parts of that and put them in a new context.” he also said Calvin Harris, explaining below the motivations that led him to the creation of Miracle. “But this time I thought maybe I’d try and recreate something that could be from that era. The one thing that I think makes it not sound like it’s from 1996, it’s the bass drum, because the bass drum is quite punchy.”
