Ellie Goulding

Lights

How the hell are you gonna call your album “Lights” and not have the song “Lights” on it?

On a serious note, Ellie Goulding’s debut does a good job of balancing bubbly electro-pop (which may feel a little dated at points, but never actively makes the songs any worse) and twinkling synths with folk elements. A fitting setting for her breathy vocal style.

Highlights: Starry Eyed, The Writer, Wish I Stayed, Your Biggest Mistake, Salt Skin

Nice start, Ellie! 'Lights' clings with its simplicity, thanks to which it sounds very cute.
