Yep, I liked that song until that shitty part


(just noticed there's an edited version, I hope that's the superior version)
 
preordered the deluxe edition and also going to the Manchester signing and live show. So I'm gunna own Halcyon twice lol.
 
I hope SNL invites her back this season; she delivered the best musical performance of the season last year. Whisper quiet vocals, excellent set and direction.

Well it was a promo single just to generate buzz about the album, and for Ellie to show her fans the new sound she was going for.

I guess they didn't want to reveal any tracks that were going to be on the final tracklisting.

Hopefully this is successful enough that she can move up from Skrillex.

Awesome. I found Lights maybe a year ago, before the single ran up the charts, and haven't listened to the album since then, really. I'll definitely check Halcyon out in a couple weeks.
 
I'll be interested to see how her second album fares for sure. Her early stuff was brilliant.
 
Holy shit. I've never actually listened to any of her music besides Lights, but took a time to listen to these snippets, and my god, as pop gaf says, its slaying me. hah :P

Its very good indeed. Congrats to Miss Goulding.

rebelfm introduced me to ellie goulding a long time ago. first album was quite enjoyable and i've been looking forward to this one. shes one of the few pop artists that are listenable these days.
 
Damn Ive been looping 'Hanging On' via youtube nearly all day. This is really good stuff, album needs to be out now man.
 
Speaking of Lights, her second album does nothing for me. I guess it's good, but it just seems like the first with more WUB.

Oh wait all y'all are talking about the song, I thought you were talking about the Canadian artist.
 
Amazing voice.

Hate the rap shit in that one song though.. ugh.

Hanging On feat. Tinie Tempah

I was actually listening to his Discovery album a lot early last summer. Haven't heard a bit from him since. Neither have I heard any of Halcyon's samples yet... I think I'll just listen to it fresh when it is released.
 
How do people not know about Tiny Tempah? He had that "Written in the Stars" track that was all over the radio like a year ago.
 
I'll miss the faux-folk thing she was doing but the snippets sound very nice. The change of direction isn't unexpected after Lights caught on, I suppose.
 
I actually like the Tinie Tempah part. Everyone is so OMG IT SUXXXX!!!111 about it when the collab isn't surprising (Tinie and Ellie are friends and have done things together in the past) or that bad either.

Look him him. He's not big in the U.S. but he did have a big song here last year.

His album, Disc-overy, is actually a pretty good. Ellie did a track on it called "Wonderman".

Well she and him are a couple.

Blew my mind, when I read that.

It's...

I'm infatuated with her, but the Skrillex, and trying way too hard to be fake-hipster has turned me off in the last few months. (The overuse of Instagram, the Polaroid pictures that she apparently felt the need to find a Polaroid camera for, etc.)
