Diplo was interviewed by iHeartRadio some days ago and he mentioned that "Powerful", which features vocals from Ellie Goulding and Tarrus Riley, is going to be the next single from Peace Is the Mission. Explaining why he chose DJ Snake to be included on "Lean On", he said that he was one of the only three producers Major Lazer had worked with on the album. "It was like a long time ago, we were doing a lot of stuff on Mad Decent with him, he's just a friend. And there are only three producers we worked with on the record. Him, this guy named Boaz (van de Beatz), who's a Dutch guy that rolled the bass with me, and then the Picard Brothers, who did a record with Ellie Goulding with us called "Powerful." That's our next single. And, they're just guys who I loved and I wanted to be part of the record."

I was wondering what had happened to this. Ellie said a while back she was part of this. Really looking forward to hearing it.

Read Tarrus Riley as Talay Riley and got super excited. Not as excited anymore, but still somewhat intrigued.

I like it. Not at all what I was expecting.
Sounds like it should have been on the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack too :kii:

Read Tarrus Riley as Talay Riley and got super excited. Not as excited anymore, but still somewhat intrigued. I've listened to both of them before! That's why I came to this thread, I also mis-read it as Talay Riley (probably assumed it was him since he's been getting played on the radio again recently), but turns out I know the correct artist anyway (also from the radio).

Ellie Goulding will be on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show next Thursday to premiere the track and it will be chosen as the Hottest Record according to the description of the radio programme posted on that day.

As previously posted, "Powerful" was chosen as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show today and you could listen to it here if you couldn't do it before when it leaked a month ago.

I love this song. Can Major Lazer just absolutely blow up this year in the States?

I like it too! Love how these lyric videos are becoming works of art in their own right too.

Added to the C-list on BBC Radio 1 playlist, so it will be pushed as the next single in the UK.

This won't do anything in the US. Top 30 if best. Too British.

I like this! On the heels of "Lean On" and "Love Me Like You Do" I can definitely see it becoming big too. But... it doesn't even sound British...

Glad this is getting released! May as well put this thread in Pop too since it's quite obvious this'll follow "Lean On" here stateside as well.
Ellie's best single (solo or feature) since "Starry Eyed"?
