Approved: Ellie Goulding (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 22 July 2009
There’s been a bit of fuss about Londoner Ellie Goulding since the start of 2009, though it’s not until recently that she’s really begun to make moves, inking a deal with Polydor and rising to the number one position on blog aggregator The Hype Machine’s charts with a Jakwob remix of ‘Starry Eyed’. Her vocals floss over the pummelling dubstep grind, turning what is a usually a dissonant genre into a slice of ethereal, swirling pop, albeit one with a fearsome bassline. The original is as equally entrancing, forefronting her vocals, which are similar to Swedish singer Lykke Li’s breathy tones, though closer still to another singer that I definitely know, but just haven’t been able to place yet. Take a listen to the Jakwob remix at the link below, then head to her MySpace for a fairly standard cover of Bon Iver’s ‘The Wolves’ and more of her own impressive material.
