After her smash hit, Lights, and her US platinum selling single, Anything Could Happen, British pop singer and running inspiration Ellie Goulding has returned to the music scene with her next smash, Burn.
Burn is the lead single to Elena Jane's new project, Halcyon Days, which is an extended version of Halcyon, Ellie's sophmore album. It could also be considered an EP. While Halcyon was more atmospheric and dreamy, Halcyon Days seems to inject the whole project with a dance spark.
Halcyon Days is out August 26th in the UK and August 27 in the US.

"You, My Everything" is in my top 10 songs of the year so far.

Can't wait for this!

 

[Angelus Errare]

I'm onboard.

 

[Brobzoid]

Didn't really listen much to Halcyon, but I loved her first album. the claim of this being more dance oriented has me excited.

 

[krypt0nian]

Halcyon made me a believer. I'm in.

 

[Majmun]

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

will check

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

A second listen, while driving down a highway made that album click for me. I'll give the EP a shot.

 

[KdoubleA]

Cool beans! I'm in. Really liked Halcyon; one of my favorite albums from last year.

 

[Chojin]

I'm not so much into Pop Music but when my wife plays Ellie Goulding I don't feel like punching babies.

Also her lyrics are weird, I think she's an alien.

 

[Aguila]

I only wish that ACH would have been bigger. It's my favorite song of hers. ;_;

omg

Ellie is this generations Bjork.

 

[Mau ®]

I'm here for more Halcyon.

I really loved it. Hope she goes into more electronica/EDM stuff for the next proper album.

 

[DTLIONS1013]

DJ Fresh!? Hyped

 

[R3TRO]

I love me some Ellie.

 

[radios shipping overview]

I'd rather Halcyon & On & On.

 

[InfiniDragon]

Any thread that has images of Ellie Goulding AND Kaya Scodelario in the same post is automatically good.

Loved the new song she did for Skins (though Anything Can Happen is still best Ellie song). More people need to know about this girl.

 

[Vivalaraza]

You, My Everything is a big tune.

I Need Your Love was brilliant aswell.

 

[EatChildren]

Burn is reminds me a little bit of early 90s euro dance.

You, My Everything is gud.

 

[Trigger]

I love Ellie. Halcyon Days will slay.

 

[arts&crafts]

Burn is really good, thats all.

 

[JaKha]

I'm excited for this album, it's what I expected her to do on her last one. She has the perfect voice for edm.

 

[Battle Born]

I love both of her albums and Burn is an incredibly catchy song so I'm very excited about this.

 

[jwk94]

Does anybody know how I can get the Deluxe version of Halcyon Days in the US?

 

[CorrisD]

Will give them a listen through, I found myself really quite disappointed with Halcyon though after her first album was pretty great.

fake edit:
A quick list to "You, My Everything, I'm getting some Ridge Racer music vibe from the 90s, which isn't a bad thing, will sit through the rest available now.

 

[Aguila]

Does anybody know how I can get the Deluxe version of Halcyon Days in the US?

I think they'll release the EP and Halcyon Days Deluxe in the US.

It'll be like what Gaga did with The Fame Album/Fame Monster EP. You'll get the option of just buying the new EP or buying the whole package (album+EP) in the US.

Alright, thanks. Guess I'll hold off on a pre-order for now. Just bought Burn off Google Play since I wanted to own it instead of just streaming from Google. It's so good!!!

Burn borrows its chorus from Bruce Springsteen's 'I'm Going Down':

[Diprosalic]

Lights is one of the best pop songs in this decade. Never heard another song of her, gonna check the album out.

 

[JordanLMiller]

Hope it's good. I don't really like alt-j but I enjoyed her cover of tesselate.

 

[Matt_]

Howling @ the running inspiration part

On the very tip of my seat for this
Thoroughly expecting to be slain judging by what we've heard so far

 

[Hagi]

Burn is pretty much Radio 1 the anthem not bad but then again not really my thing either, Tessellate is great though.

 

[kharma45]

I Need Your Love with Calvin Harris is such a great song.

 

[Artemisia]

Burn is slaying my soul. The verses give me LIFE. Fuck the haters.

 

[daffy]

Everytime You Go is the best Ellie song. I'm excited for this even though what I'm hearing doesn't sound better than Halcyon.

♥ Tessellate

 

[Vermillion]

Brilliant. Ready for another round.

 

[oneils]

I find Tessellate mesmerising.

 

[big_z]

her first album is great but Halcyon went too far in the wrong direction. this seems like a return to form so im looking forward to its release.

 

[Fuu]

God yes, I love her work. The amount of times I listened to Guns and Horses on repeat borders on obscene.

 

[LuuKyK]

Burn is amazing.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Burn sucks (IMO) but You, My Everything is on another level.

 

[ThanksVision]

Yeah I'm going to listen to this

 

[FlyFaster]

this is cool , I'll check it out for sure.

I 1st heard of her after watching a combo video for MvC3, someone put Lights on in the back ground and I really liked the song. Now I listen to it on a mix when I drive. Really the only great/amazing track on the album, but still a good enough song that I'll check out her new tracks.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Ugh, my heart.

 

[EulaCapra]

Holy crap, that's a lot of songs. Side grumble: only Lights and not original Halcyon album available via Google Play All Access for months. Google, no.

 

[KissVibes]

Halcyon was one of favorite albums of last year I love me some Ellie Goulding. I am HYPED for this.

 

[Majine]

<3 Ellie,

Figure 8 is amazing.

 

[Jabo]

EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSIONSSSSSSS!

 

[iavi]

Ugh, my heart.

yeh, mine too... that tessellate vid is slaying me right now.

 

[Reckoner]

These new tracks sound weak to me. Not a fan of this new direction. Love her two albums, though.
