Pressing play on this song, I did not have high hopes, I really didn’t. But do you know what? “Because” by Skrillex, which delicately uses Ellie Goulding’s vocals is a calm and surprisingly relaxing track.
It’s a restrained, dreamy mix of gentle beats and angelic vocal samples, just the kind of music that could be playing as you wake up on a slow Sunday morning, and sounding more like something from Bondax or Star Slinger than what we’ve come to expect from Skrillex. The track, which is apparently two years old, appeared on Ellie Goulding’s debut mix, which was for Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show, and you can check that out below too.
