Ellie Goulding talks about new album, to be released this year!

[Tove Lo 2,481]

Can you talk about what direction the new album is going in?

I don't really know why this word seems appropriate but it's definitely bigger. Whether that means it's more adventurous, or a bit more ambitious, or a bit more daring, I don't know. But I'm certainly taking on something a lot bigger than I have before and sonically it's a lot bigger. I feel like there were maybe certain restrictions on the last album. But I'm at a point now with this album where it's just taken on a new life now of its own and I can't stop it. So that album is coming out and what people make of it I don't know, but it is coming. It's nearly finished and it will be out this year. Even if it's out on 30 December, which is my birthday, it will be out this year.

In addition to Laleh, who else are you writing with on the album?

I've worked with Diplo. I've worked with producers that I have known for years – Jim Eliot from my last album. I love working with him. I thought the stuff that we did together was something really special, so I had a 'you don't fix what isn't broken kind of attitude.' He's just wonderful and I got to go back to my home town [Hereford], which helps the writing process a lot. But then also I've been adopted into the Max Martin camp and I love them all dearly.

She would be more recognized if her US label or whatever would actually help push her career in the US. Ellie has a lot of singles but only a few have been released in the US as real singles.

I have before and sonically it's a lot bigger.

Sounds good. I'd rather have the Ellie version of 1989 than Ultraviolence (aka slower and darker which is kind of where she went of the last album ... until saved by the Calvin collab and the re-release).

i know this sounds petty and stuff, but Lights/Bright Lights era Ellie>>>> ur weaves 

[Easto 143]

Yas  I'm ready for a new Ellie album to scalp me. 

[Babel 41,493]

I loved how different Bright Lights and Halcyon were, yet both still had Ellie's touch in every song. I'm looking forward another sonic reinvention from her.

[Klou 2,414]

I really hope she releases a lead single soon. I'm super happy she's still working with Max Martin. Their collab really shocked me (in a good way).

[super ultra 878]

Diplo?  ok he produced some good songs but  she literally worked with every dj/producer in the music industry

anyway, can't wait for the album 

[Riot Poof 2,236]

[Nein 508]
