Pat Grossi of Active Child has described Ellie Goulding and Tiny Tempah's cover of Hanging On as, "An incredibly proud moment for me as an artist". Having only discovered the wonders of Active Child just last week and having listened to him incessantly since, this announcement was potentially detrimental to my appreciation of my latest favourite ginger (sorry Tilda). On your average day I would lump Ellie Gaulding into that sickly sweet category of singers who sound like Kate Bush but deaf. However today I will be kind. Don't even get me started on Tempah. Nonetheless EG's a sweet girl and if Grossi is happy with the cover, then I guess so am I. After all, this cover of Hanging On is a definite contender for funniest lyric of the year, "She broke my heart, I took some gavi gavi gaviscon" obviously a Tiny Tempah line. Hopefully this will open a whole new avenue of AC fans. Not the plugging of gaviscon. The Ellie and Tiny cover of course. #watchthisspace.
