Listen to Four Tet and Ellie Goulding’s New Song “In My Dreams”

Four Tet has teamed up with Ellie Goulding, once again, this time for the new song “In My Dreams.” Near the end of last year, the English pop singer texted Kieren Hebden voice notes with song ideas, and the collaboration started to bloom shortly thereafter. Listen to the track below.

“She’s told me in the past she likes to send me vocals that I can just use as sound and turn into whatever I want (which is how the track ‘Baby’ happened a few years ago),” explained Hebden. “I found other sounds to go with it and made ‘In My Dreams.’ She added some new vocal parts but we ended up keeping the voice note recordings as the main vocal. I guess the first take is often the most magical.”

As the producer mentioned, Goulding joined Four Tet, back in 2020, for his Sixteen Oceans cut “Baby.” Hebden more recently remixed the singer’s “Easy Lover,” and it earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording.

The English pop singer has also tapped him for remixes numerous times over the years, while Four Tet once released a remix of her 2013 smash hit “Burn” and sampled her single “The Writer” for his track “Back2TheStart.” Goulding’s most recent album is 2020’s Brightest Blue.

Earlier this year, Hebden released his newest Four Tet album, Three. Read “Four Tet on His 155-Hour Spotify Playlist, the Coolest Thing on Streaming” on the Pitch.
