Mark Ronson and Diplo's Silk City to return with Ellie Goulding-featuring 'New Love'

Silk City, the side project from Mark Ronson and Diplo, are set to return this week with a new track featuring Ellie Goulding.

The pair launched the collaborative project back in 2018 when they shared a string of singles – including the Dua Lipa-assisted ‘Electricity’ – and headlined Rob Da Bank’s Bestival.

Ronson teased Silk City’s comeback on social media last week (January 13), unveiling a 10-second instrumental teaser. “…and we’re back,” he wrote as the caption. “Heard you needed to dance?”

Goulding later shared a similar clip, linking fans to the New Love Club website that promises to be “opening soon”. Check out those posts below.

It has now been confirmed that Silk City’s comeback single ‘New Love’ will be released via Columbia this coming Friday (January 22), as will its accompanying official video.

Ronson, Diplo and Lipa bagged the Best Dance Recording Grammy in 2019 for ‘Electricity’, which landed at Number 4 in the UK singles chart.

Reviewing Silk City’s 2018 Bestival headline show, NME wrote: “Throughout the duo’s hour and a quarter long set, the two DJs and producers give us more clues as to what their new project is all about. And, boy, is it funky.”

Last year saw Ronson work on Miley Cyrus’ seventh album ‘Plastic Hearts’. His last solo full-length, ‘Late Night Feelings’, came out in 2019.

Ellie Goulding, meanwhile, is set to embark on a UK tour this April in support of her new record ‘Brightest Blue’. At the time of writing, the shows remain unaffected by the latest coronavirus restrictions.
