Artist News Releases
Ellie Goulding announces new album, Brightest Blue
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 28 May 2020
Ellie Goulding has announced that she will release her first album for five years, ‘Brightest Blue’, in July.
The album is split into two parts. The first – actually called ‘Brightest Blue’ – holds the bulk of the album’s eighteen tracks and, Goulding says, “reflects my vulnerability. It acknowledges a complex world where relationships still dictate our happiness and heartbreak and can still be the most painful thing in the world, no matter how enlightened you are. The tracks also symbolise growing up and becoming a woman”.
The five track second part, called ‘Eg.0’, “encapsulates my confident, brave and fearless side and features all my recent collaborations”, she goes on. “I often find myself writing about my thoughts and emotions in a way that I know will be catchy and memorable. I will always seek to use my voice in ways that no one would ever expect and look to collaborate with the least likely, exciting and eclectic group of other artists”.
That second part is also heavy on collaborations, with contributions from Diplo, Swae Lee, Blackbear, Lauv and Juice Wrld.
The album is out on 17 Jul. From it, this is new single ‘Power’:
