Description

She had won the BBC’s Sound of 2010 award and a Critics Choice award from The Brits, but Ellie Goulding had barely started her career. From her appearance on Jools Holland debuting her first single, Ellie Goulding has been thrown in a whirlwind of attention. She’s already been given comparisons to groups like Florence and the Machine, as well as La Roux due to her powerful acoustic-indie twist to poppy electronica.

Ellie Goulding’s very first album titled ‘Lights’ blends the electronica of synthesizers with the groove of her acoustic folk pop songs that started her career, nicely polished by her gorgeous voice. Her tracks range from the song about chasing after the one you love in ‘Salt Skin’, the house-inspired ‘Everytime You Go’ to her more radio-savvy single ‘Starry Eyed’. Goulding has shown she’s set to be a very influential presence on the music charts in 2010.

      My 12 year old asked me to get this for him.I expected the usual stuff for that age group and was quite surprised at how good it is.We played it in car on long journey and enjoyed all of the songs.Will appeal to pre teen, teenagers and young adults.

          Comments about POLYDOR Ellie Goulding - Lights:

          I live in the US so I didn't exactly hear all the buzz surrounding Ellie, but it was well worth it. He music is a beautiful mix of folk and electronic styles. They meld perfectly. Her lyrics are surprisingly deep, and suggest things other than that of her contemporaries. My only complaint is that there are only 10 songs and the album clocks in around 35 minutes, I would have wanted more. But otherwise a very solid album.
