I am sure that many of you have already heard the new single by hipster heartthrob Ellie Goulding entitled Under the Sheets. The track is catchy as hell and Goulding's voice is melodious as usual, but she seems almost overly polished on here as compared to some of her earlier tracks and TSRE faves, like Guns + Horses. The synths seem a little too heavy and a lot of the endearing quirkiness from other dancey tracks like Starry Eyed is lacking on Under the Sheets. Its still a fine song, but sadly not quite up to snuff with her earlier stuff.

On the flip side is Basia Bulat who is folky hip while remaining rugged. Her voice is strong as bull and Gold Rush is a campfire throw down. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about Basia Bulat yet, but thats soon to change. Like a more orchestral Alela Diane, Basia Bulat is a folk force to be reckoned with. She also has a new album coming out in January. Check out her website.
