Music | Ellie Goulding - Lights
Ellie Goulding's debut album, Lights, dropped on March 1st. I was going nuts when I heard her two singles Under the Sheets and Starry Eyed so it's needless to say I was trying not to hype her album up for fear of a major letdown.
I finally got around to listening to it and, sadly enough, Under the Sheets is still my favorite track. Only Salt Skin and Wish I Stayed are still playing in my head. Otherwise, nothing about Lights stands out. Some of the electo elements throughout the album feel a little forced and borderline gimmicky. I think I was expecting the production to be a little harder but I'll just have leave that to the remixes (see below). Her voice is still very interesting, and her production can still be very fun. I'm not giving up on Ellie yet.Follow @rightmau on Twitter.
