Born on the 30th December of 1986, Elena Jane Goulding, her full name and known as Ellie Goulding is an English singer who also writes her own songs. In the year 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC's annual "Sound of..." poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele's win of both in 2008.
In the year 2010 Ellie released her debut studio album, "Lights".
Two years later, in late July, she announced the title of her second album called "Halcyon". So, in October of 2012 Goulding released her second album Halcyon, which was positively received by critics.
"On her new album, Halcyon, Ellie Goulding’s voice is really something special, imprinting everything she sings with unique character. Her tremulous vibrato and slightly hoarse timbre have the feel of something primal and folky, her birdlike high notes conveying a childlike wonder while darker tones imply ancient depths of sorrow. She sings like she is strung out on the melody, warbling from a place of desperate emotion. It really is that rarest and perhaps most accidental of gifts: an original voice. With its melodicism, emotionality and ear-catching sound effects, this is certainly pop music but not of the formulaic electro-r & b style that has come to dominate the charts. Goulding’s growing ambition as a songwriter is evident on Dead In the Water, a touching lament that evokes the Greek Halcyon myth of a mourning sailor’s widow transformed into a bird" writes Neil McComick for the Telegraph.
"A bold and confident step forward" Michael Cragg of The Fly referring to the album.
"It's started to sound very dark and very weird. This album is going to be even more emotional (...) I wanted to make it so there is hope. I want to make an effect whether it's happy or sad" she sais.
Her voice is special and i just find it soo sweet!! :-)
