Nowhere is this more apparent than BlueвЂ™s accompanying EP EG.0. But I sometimes think that Ellie Goulding didnвЂ™t always know what to do with herself either. In my opinion, most people, especially music industry executives, donвЂ™t really know what to do with Ellie Goulding. The journey from Halcyon to now has been an often confusing, wild ride through multiple embodiments of the pop genre. Though, depending on which fan you talk to, this isnвЂ™t necessarily a bad thing. If anything, Blue seems to be promising a regression in sound. But Delirium went the opposite direction, embracing modern pop on the back of global number one вЂњLove Me Like You Do.вЂќ Ellie described Halcyon as вЂњvery self-indulgentвЂќ and вЂњthe most honest record sheвЂ™s ever written.вЂќ The album is a meshing of heart-wrenching storytelling and the moody electronic style that would be embodied by Billie Eilish a few years later. This sounds exactly like the follow-up that her 2012 release Halcyon promised, though not the one that 2015вЂ™s Delirium delivered.

She has described Blue as something that allows people вЂњto immerse themselves into a world of hope despite everything being so bleak.вЂќ She says that itвЂ™s about вЂњtear through your own demonsвЂќ and вЂњfree yourself from toxic relationships.вЂќ Brightest Blue, the fourth album by British pop singer Ellie Goulding, out July 17th, has been five years in the making.
