Ellie Goulding - Burn

For a long time I didn't really care for Ellie Goulding's single "Burn", but eventually she broke me down and now I love it. The hedonistic and carefree-sounding dance track is perfectly constructed, with a killer pop melody that drives it forward and into a repetitive, silly and totally irresistable chorus. "Burn" is the lead single from the re-release of last year's Halcyon Days album, and after it came out in July and became a worldwide smash hit, it also gave the album a new lease on life to put it mildly. It's easy to understand why too.
