“I’ve got the Midas touch / everything I touch turns to gold.”
In the context of the song, these lyrics serve to lure in a romantic interest. However, we’re convinced that the lyrics are equally pertinent to any track graced by Ellie Goulding’s voice. In this case, the 1986 R&B hit ‘Midas Touch’ by Midnight Star is newly gilded with down-tempo, bassy sounds and piano synths from Ellie and BURNS that retain the luster of the original song. The track will be part of the bonus features on the deluxe version of Ellie’s Halcyon Days album, to be released on August 26. Pre-order is now available.
