First of all there will be the picture of the artist. I’ll give you the structure of how my reviews are going to be in the future. She rose to stardom in 2010 with her debut album, Lights, which earned the Critics’ Choice prize at the Brit Awards and led the BBC’s Sound of poll. As this is the first review on my website. Ellie Gouldings breakthrough was nothing if not decisive. There are points where she sounds like a speeded-up and blended Florence album, there are bits where her throatal vibrato threatens to jellificate the entire song, and there's no doubt that prolonged exposure could rot your teeth, even though she clearly knows the Tooth Fairy on a first name basis.but this is a bewitching listen. From the soundtrack of Fifty Shades Of Grey this is Ellie Goulding’s new track Love Me Like You Do. There is barely a second of music which does not feature her vocal in some way, either as a muffled pixie choir, a lead instrument, or a soft, tumbledown wail in the background. From the first "like all the boys, boys, boys, boys" to the final go around on the pleading chorus, Ellie's voice dominates. What she does have is a ghosty warble of a voice which sounds passionate and scared and bolshy and elvish all at the same time.Īnd it is put to great use here. This pop-rap anthem chronicles the defiant love affair between two participants. The track also features the vocals of American rapper Swae Lee. Chorus I got new love, I got new love in me. Ellie does not have brilliantly-sculpted hair, or a bacofoil kimono. Close to Me is a rap-pop song by English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding and American DJ/record producer Diplo. Paroles de New Love par Silk City & Ellie Goulding, Didnt always like myself Didnt. It's not thrillingly retro, it's not home-made or the product of a tiny scene of London hipsters. In the House of Many Ellies, the housework magically does itself.) In short, it feels like Ellie Goulding at her most honest, and her most heartfelt.( Here's the video. your hear that sound Like thunder, gonna shake the ground You held me down. While the final handful of tracks certainly have their appeal, especially when taken on their own individual merit, it’s the first part of Brightest Blue that feels the most rounded, most accomplished. Launched in 1995 as Billboard Online, now attracts ten. Indeed, Goulding has consistently proven she’s at her best when she resists the allure of chart-topping collaborations, in favour of the idiosyncratic pop on which she first made her name. That said, established fans will be able to both appreciate, and relish in, the nuance and maturity she displays here. Close to me (Yeah, yeah) 'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al like. And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody. Overall Brightest Blue musically shares much in common with Goulding’s previous work, and as such will do little to win over any naysayers. Chorus: Ellie Goulding & Swae Lee And I don't wanna be somebody without your body. And I don't wanna be somebody without your body. Close to me (Yeah, yeah) 'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al. And it is a mature record, one which not only explores every facet of Goulding’s emotions, from her most vulnerable to most resilient, but accepts them as well. When you're where I am, everything's timeless (Yeah, yeah) Chorus: Ellie Goulding & Swae Lee And I don't wanna be somebody without your body. This is something which not only adds to the record’s nuance and idiosyncrasy, but its depth and maturity also. “Bleach” on the other hand is sparsely arranged at first, though builds and mounts, retaining a sense of warmth thanks to its subtle guitar and washes of synth and strings.Įlsewhere, the likes of “Cyan”, “Wine Drunk” and “Overture” are more like vignettes than established songs. “Power” for instance, throbs with an understated edge of danger, before blossoming forth into a chorus of pure pop perfection. It’s arguably here where Brightest Blue is at its most arresting. The first half of the record however, showcases a softer, more introspective side, more akin to the tracks on her debut than recent material. Five collaborations with the likes of Diplo (“Close to Me”) and blackbear (“Worry About Me”) that offer up a bolder, brasher side of Goulding. Releasing, or featuring on, no less than fifteen singles in that time, while still managing to maintain her role as a UN Environment Ambassador amongst other charity work, it’s obviously been a busy five years.Ī handful of these more recent singles have made it to Brightest Blue, Goulding’s latest album, and a record of two distinct parts "Brightest Blue" and "EG.0", the latter of which is formed exclusively by these singles.
