Lights is an amazing album! Starry Eyed, Under The Sheets and Guns And Horses especially are quality tracks. Unfortunately, Ellie Goulding went downhill after that, to appeal to the bad "mainstream" tastes of nowadays. The fact that the awful "Burn" was actually her first number 1 says a lot about how bad "mainstream" music tastes are. I've heard even more recent material from her that is rap / hip-hop (I don't care to check the name) because that's "the thing" at the moment apparently... Whatever, Ellie Goulding will always be "Lights" for me!

Halcyon is one of my favorite albums. The blends of folk pop and EDM/Drum&Bass is haunting and infectious, paired with Ellie's ethereal vocals and voilà you have a pop masterpiece. Lights/Bright Lights and Delirium are also fantastic albums that display her versatility as an artist.

Beautiful, unique voice !
Prefer the purity of her live simple stripped down raw vocals to the tainted commercial shit she does but I still like it :( :) !
Shame her time is now !
When people cared about music I'm sure an ambient or trance masterpiece would have gone done !!
After the shite 50 shades of bullcrap
no longer an artist in my ears.
