This morning resounds with a recent musical addiction, an artist by the name of Ellie Goulding. I only first heard her about 3 months ago and, while she’s not what I typically lunge for at the record store, I find her quite refreshing. Her voice reminds me of a delicate jumble between the lightness of Joanna Newsom, the intensity Flyleaf, and the artistic approach always seen by Imogen Heap. I know, I know, sounds completely bonkers but it works.
Some of her musical inspirations include Regina Spektor, Lauryn Hill, Ani Di Franco, Ella Fitzgerald, and Bjork. Though currently residing in London, Ellie was born in Hereford and grew up in Powys, Wales. She started her career as an alternative singer/songwriter but found success in a number of electro producers, such as Starsmith and Frankmusik, that gobbled her up in an excitement.
Her mass outpour on the European charts surely mirror that she made the right move as I’m sure anyone who has heard Goulding’s recent tracks would agree. Ellie ultimately signed a major-label deal with Polydor Records and hastily made plans to release her full-length album debut as well as release the premier video for her song, “Under The Sheets”.
Along with being a musical gem, she’s written for other European artists such as Diana Vickers and Gabriella Climi.
