Berlin-based Lotic is a producer with lots of feelings—he tweeted that his new Ellie Goulding rework is a sad remix of an already sad song, like sadness multiplied by itself. But if anything, he's straining those depressions through colors and shapes so beautiful that the end result is like harsh light filtered through a stained glass window—Goulding has never sounded deeper, like Bjork but better, and if this song is a temple built on hopelessness, "hopeless" doesn't sound like such a bad place to be.
