Ellie Goulding is releasing her highly anticipated third studio Album Delirium on November 6. A follow up to Halcyon in 2012, the blonde songstress dropped the first single On My Mind from her third record on the 17th September which sent fans into a craze anticipating more music from the leading lady. Ellie debuted her album cover, which entails her wearing nothing but a fur jacket with her voluminous blonde hair swept across her face.
The new album is a reflection of her challenging journey through life and a play on the word Delirium, “It can be a really crazy, a happy state or it can be the complete opposite,” Ellie said. In terms of hot collaborations, Ellie has teamed up with Disclosure where the boys have transformed one of the singer’s piano based songs into a modern up tempo dance anthem.
Ellie has been working with top producers, One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, Greg Kurstin and Max Martin, the album has 16 tracks and an extra 6 on the deluxe album, featuring fan favourites ‘Love Me Like You Do’ taken from the Fifty Shades of Grey album and ‘Outside’ featuring Calvin Harris alongside original tracks such as ‘Around U’ and ‘Lost and Found’.
Ellie has stated the album is something different from her usual music but is still using her signature sound of piano and guitar, “The album has taken on a new life of its own and I can’t stop it”. Ellie describes Delirium as a perfect end to the summer, with a mix of heartbreak and uplifting beats that will deliver Goulding fans the music they have been waiting for.
