CMU Approved
Approved: Ellie Goulding (CMU Tips For 2010)
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 5 January 2010
Okay, let’s get this one out of the way early on. Yes, Ellie Goulding has been tipped in every single ‘ones to watch’ column written in the last month, and if she doesn’t come top of the BBC’s Sound Of 2010 poll I will fall over in surprise. However, sometimes hype is legitimate and this is one of those occasions.
It’s a little under six months since we first pointed you in Ellie’s direction in this very slot, just as the Jakwob remix of her track ‘Starry Eyed’, which saw her vocals floss over the pummelling dubstep grind, rose to the number one position on blog aggregator The Hype Machine’s charts. Since then, of course, ‘Under The Sheets’ has taken over as her best known track and one that has raised expectations for her album to fearsome levels. Luckily, from what we’ve heard, she’s got enough tucked up her sleeve to meet those expectations head on.
