Lights – Ellie GouldingView More By Ellie Goulding Our ReviewLights overflows with pop that’s as infectious as it is intelligent. But this wasn’t the British chanteuse’s first foray into songwriting — prior to recording her own songs, Goulding had smithed tunes of the teenaged Brit-pop flavor for Diana Vickers and Gabriella Cilmi. Rather than extract from the same well of inspiration, Lights cleverly wafts between indie-folk and electro-pop. The title-track introduces the album with pleasantly soft beats pulsing under her plumed and airy inflections. This is nicely contrasted against a driving rhythm in the chorus and some razor-honed hooks in the melody. The rich organic resonance of a wooden acoustic guitar changes the tone on the following “Guns and Horses” while keeping Goulding’s sprightly energy intact. Goulding’s vocal presence throughout balances salience with restraint, especially on “Starry Eyed,” a standout tune that blends helium-infused balladry with tasteful Euro-dance. Conversely, “Under The Sheets” forgoes obvious hooks for less predictable arrangements and melodic detours while maintaining melodies that are impossible to forget.. Customer ReviewsA Vocal, Lyrical, and Musical Princess from the UK (5 stars)Ellie Goulding's album has been out for quite some time in the UK and has been holding a firm spot in the top albums since it was released over a year ago. The album has since seen a deluxe version release named 'Bright Lights'. Ellie's voice has an ethereal and honest quality to it and is so refreshing in the age of auto-tune. But Ellie is by no means a vocal instrument that just sings what is put in front of her like many artist WHEN??? (5 stars) When her album "bright light" can come? Finally! (4 stars) Been waiting for "Lights" to release in the US for a while! Ellie Goulding is a fascinating artist, and "Lights" is a very solid record. Definitely recommended!
