City Of Lights Cd by Ellie Goulding [Audio CD]

Description: Following in the footsteps of Adele and Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding picked up the Critics' Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards, but hold on? who is Ellie Goulding? Well, she makes music of the intriguing, curious kind, described invariably as 'electro-folk-acoustic-pop' (or just 'brilliant' would suffice). Ellie's songs are soaked in an almost cinematic sensibility; the yearning lyrics and resolute refrain in her music takes shape in the amazing song 'Under The Sheets'. Her transformative covers of Passion Pit's 'Sleepyhead' and Bon Iver's 'The Wolves' became so popular they topped the Hypemachine chart not once, but twice. In fact, lots of internet type people have been furiously tapping at their Macs in praise of the 21 year-old with the evocative voice and mesmerizing melodies. Hailing from Hereford originally, but now settled in London, Ellie is different for many reasons. She likes Beyoncé and Björk, but also Pearl Jam and Kiki Dee. She listens to folk music. She used to play the clarinet until ?it began to really irritate me." She has been keeping a diary since the age of seven. She used to share a bedroom with her two sisters in a tiny house and was only allowed to sing at an allotted time. The whole family told her to shut up. ?My mum said my voice was weird.? Her voice isn't weird, but it is pretty extraordinary and incredibly captivating. It sounds like it's full of fancy effects, and yet it's not. It possesses a somewhat oxymoronic quality; delicately striking, understated and intense. Tracks: 1. Guns And Horses 2. Starry Eyed 3. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) 4. Under The Sheets 5. The Writer 6. Every Time You Go 7. Wish I Stayed 8. Your Biggest Mistake 9. I'll Hold My Breath 10. Salt Skin
