Samples are god tier. Will check out the album.

 

[Vermillion]

<3 Ellie,

Figure 8 is amazing.

Yes.

 

[Vashetti]

Zero point in buying albums day one anymore, they just get re-released with another album's worth of tracks.

Jesus christ, that tracklist for the UK is immense.

Will buy again, lol

 

[Tevos]

I really like Burn. You, my everything is pretty good too.

This only really happens to big pop albums.

 

[Meier]

I'd rather Halcyon & On & On.

Choooooooon.

Looking forward to this -- big fan of Ellie. Was surprised to see the cover of Burn.. not her typical style.

 

[Lamel]

Need your love has been my favorite so far.

 

[Erebus]

I need your love with Calvin Harris is sooooo good. I've been listening to it almost everyday since it came out.

 

[DominoKid]

i like that I Need Your Love track a little bit too much. it's good to see Calvin finally get big success though.

Ellie's pretty good.

 

[Aguila]

Midas Touch is out!: https://soundcloud.com/thisisburns/burns-x-ellie-goulding-midas


Some nice remixes of Burn:

Mat Zo Remix

Tiesto Remix

Maths Time Joy Remix

Lovelife Remix

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Bought so hard. I loved Halcyon.

 

[Ataraxia]

Her cover of "Hanging On" is the reason that the God of War: Ascension commercial for PS3 is so awesome.

 

[Matt_]

It's interesting that she had decided to release Midas Touch now when the album drops in a couple of weeks

Not that I'm complaining

 

[clockworkinyou]

I wasn't big on her until I heard her on Zedd's album-

Zedd & Lucky Date - fall into the sky ft. Ellie Goulding

That made me a believer, and everything clicked

 

[Ovid]

Looking sexy on that album cover.

 

[Aguila]

Listen to Under Control in full:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxNORk0vKd0

 

[maxxpower]

Ellie is this generations Bjork.

Wrong, Bat for Lashes is.

 

[Sai-kun]

I wish Under Control just went full on and was a really really rough and grimy dubstep track. I hope the linked one is just a low quality version. Feels really unfulfilling otherwise.

 

[Reckoner]

Wrong, Bat for Lashes is.

Yup. Her last album wasn't as good as the first two ones, but I'm sure that she will get back on track.

Not a fan of this new party girl Ellie. Love Lights and Halcyon, though. I expect her to not keep this tone for her next LP.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I've only listened to "Lights" (the album) and I remember enjoying a few songs off of it, for the genre anyway.

Haven't gotten around to giving Halcyon a shot yet.

However, I was talking to one of my friends about Ellie and she brought up "Burn." So, I went and listened to it on YouTube.

It's pretty weak, seems like it was designed to be chart bait and nothing more.

That said, after listening to that new Gaga track, at least Ellie's effort sticks in your head. A better crafted earworm pop song in that sense.

 

[beato_angelico]

Ellie is this generations Bjork.

oh come on.

 

[Aguila]

Listen to Goodness Gracious

and listen to Flashlight

*.*

 

[NomarTyme]

Goddamn summer song is stuck in my fucking head.

Oh wait that is not her. Its lana lulz.

 

[DominoKid]

Midas Touch >>>

 

[Milchjon]

I like Ellie Golding, but that Tessellate cover is a miss.

 

[ThreeSixty]

Hasitleaked is reporting that the album leaked.

 

[Sai-kun]

It's drippin

 

[Atlantis]

Goodness Gracious is everything.

 

[walkmetothelake]

Will definitely try this even though the only song that I still listen to regularly from Halcyon is Atlantis. Could someone recommend me some earlier tracks to try?

 

[Sai-kun]

Oh man, I dunno why, but she totally ruined You, My Everything.

This is awful.

*undeletes older version*

Older Ellie song suggestions:

Animal
Salt Skin
Starry Eyed
Wish I Stayed
Every Time You Go
This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Ellie is this generations Bjork.

Please tell me you're joking.

Ellie has a perfectly nice voice, but comparing her to Bjork, one of the finest female vocalists of our time? Let's not get carried away.

And that's not even getting into Ellie's perfectly nice sugar coated pop, as opposed to Bjork's boundary-pushing, intricately detailed, masterfully crafted music.

It's an absolutely crazy comparison.

But Ellie is cool, I like her!

 

[Sai-kun]

i'm 99% sure botty is kidding

but you never know with popgaf

Okay, given it a listen, these are my new song rankings:

Please ma'am, may I have another Tier:
Under Control
Flashlight
Midas Touch

This is pretty rad Tier:
Burn
Stay Awake

This is not as rad Tier:
Goodness Gracious
Tessellate

Please ma'am, stop making music Tier:
You, My Everything
Hearts Without Chains
How Long Will I Love You

seriously you my everything is terrible how did u fuck this up ellie

 

[jwk94]

Track just dropped on Google Play!

Is it just me, or is the album version of You My Everything different from the preview/Skins version? It seems less upbeat.

 

[Dany]

This release is so much better than regular ass Halcyon. Great album, only 2 songs that don't hit, the slow ones. Midas touch, flashback, burn, goodness gracious are so lovely.
Hopefully she comes to Chitown again soon!

 

[jwk94]

I think Under Control might be my favorite track.

 

[Kisaya]

I really love Midas Touch and Flashback

. Burn and Stay Awake I've been jamming to B)

And yeah all the slow songs aren't* memorable at all. Tessellate and You, My Everything are just o-kay.

 

[Avinexus]

Explosions is still > Everything else on the tracklist

 

[Niraj]

Yeah something seems a bit off.

Only songs I didn't care for too much were Hearts Without Chains and How Long Will I Love You. Goodness Gracious is probably my favorite. Would've been You My Everything, but yeah, something just sounds off

 

[daffy]

Can't find an option to buy just the new songs on amazon.

 

[Dany]

I agree with you,

Explosions is still > Everything else on the tracklist

Explosions is fairly forgettable.

 

[Mononoke]

This is a great album. Love Ellie.

Yup, the Halcyon Days mix has weirdly mixed vocals, quieter drums, and it's just not as good, seriously.

I hate it >:/

It's just not as good. I'd rather listen to the first version we heard.

 

[Matt_]

Midas Touch, Under Control and Goodness Gracious are just everything

 

[Hyunkel6]

Discovered her after listening to Burn from 8tracks on the iphone. I'm a huge fan now.

I first heard of her from listening to Lights (bassnectar remix) on my pandora radio station, after a few months of it shuffling on, i bought it and gave a listen to her other stuff. She is quite a talent.

 

[Aguila]

If you guys haven't seen it, the video for Midas Touch: http://youtu.be/_Lc5diNYzC4

It's... strange.
