Ellie Goulding<\/a> reimagined her Diplo-produced single \u201cClose to Me\u201d as a spirited folk sing-along on The Late Show<\/em> Monday.<\/p>\n

Goulding teamed with house band Jon Batiste and Stay Human, who crafted a delicate arrangement of intertwining acoustic guitars, tender piano and simple percussion. Throughout the performance, Goulding found new pockets in this mix to push her vocals, all the while receiving back-up from a trio of singers who harmonized as she sang, \u201cAnd I don\u2019t wanna be somebody without your body\/Close to me\/And if it wasn\u2019t you, I wouldn\u2019t want anybody\/Close to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClose to Me\u201d<\/a> \u2013 which also features a guest verse from Rae Sremmurd\u2019s Swae Lee \u2013 was released last October. In February, Goulding shared another new track, \u201cFlux.\u201d<\/a> The singer has reportedly been prepping her new album, though a title and track list have yet to be announced. The LP is expected to arrive later this year. Goulding\u2019s last album, Delirium<\/em><\/a>, was released in 2015.<\/p>\n
