Contents

To mark her partnership with Nike, Goulding released a 30-minute-long mix titled Run into the Light through iTunes in September 2011. Mixed by Alex Metric, it is intended to be a soundtrack for running.

Background

On 8 September 2010, Goulding performed an acoustic set at Niketown London for Fashion's Night Out, where she announced a new collaboration with Nike. [2] Around the same time, Goulding had been increasing her presence in the United States following the gradual success of her debut album Lights and her headlining slot on Nylon 's summer music tour. A dedicated runner, Goulding partnered with Nike to produce a short documentary that chronicled her life as both a musician and an athlete, in the lead-up to her participation in the "Nike+ Run to the Beat" half marathon in London on 25 September 2010. To accompany the project, she collaborated with British producer Alex Metric on a 30-minute running mix titled Run into the Light, which was released exclusively through iTunes. [2] [3] [4] [5]
