There has been a lot of hype recently circulating around the name Ellie Goulding, but I hadn’t taken the time until recently to sit down and see what all the fuss was about. After hearing songs like “Guns and Horses,” “Animal,” and “Lights,” I only wish I had started listening to her sooner. This girl is absolutely amazing, and has that incredible combination of both effortlessly beautiful vocals and an uninhibited manner of using her voice, something I respect a lot about Florence & The Machine. Goulding has managed to channel electronic/ dance music, pop, jazz, and rock into her music in a completely coherent way, making her music refreshingly original and so catchy. Her debut album, Lights, was released in the US on March 8th, and I’m putting my money on this girl blowing up just as rapidly stateside as Flo did a year ago. In the more immediate future, I can almost guarantee her set at Coachella will place her as one of the best of the festival. Listen to a couple of the tracks from the album below and see for yourself!
