Justin Timberlake

UK indie pop princess Ellie Goulding is building quite the cover-song repertoire. She's lent her pipes to songs from the eclectic likes of Elton John, Alt-J, The Weeknd, Robyn, Bon Iver, Passion Pit, and then some. This time around, she gives Justin Timberlake's latest hit the Ellie treatment on BBC1's Live Lounge.A sparse acoustic guitar and light piano backbone the track, crafting a far more delicate sound than the indulgent nature of the original. A trio of backup singers add soul to Goulding's vulnerable but controlled vocal performance, and the addition of a cajón player as the song progresses sets up the beat necessary for the track's fantastic breakdown.It's a feminine take on one of today's biggest male pop stars songs, and in traditional Ellie Goulding fashion, she nails it.
