Ellie Goulding is a complicated thing in a seemingly simple package.
On first hearing, she’s a bright and shiny 22 year old singer-songwriter, with her fingers on her guitar, her feet in a night-club and her head in the heavens. But very few singer-songwriters, young or old, can flip between dance-til-you-drop euphoria (‘Starry Eyed’) and wistful, journeying space-folk (‘Guns and Horses’), between lyrics that talk obliquely about sleeping around (‘Under The Sheets’) and those that pin-point the love-hate relationship every leaver has about their home town (‘Wish I Stayed’).
Very few can do all that and leave us, the listeners, with enchantment, curious romance and, somehow, a sense of vastness, of travel, of space and time. It’s pop, Jim, but not as we know it.
