Ellie Goulding



A few weeks back I was turned over to Ellie Goulding by my girlfriend, who went mad for her cover of the Sam Sparrow track "Black and Gold". After listening to all the tracks available I too fell in love with Gouldings voice, it is wondefully unique, clean and distinctly feminine, specifically the aforementioned Black & Gold cover and also her wonderfull track Starry Eyed. Ellie Goulding is talented electro pop, yeah, I listen to stuff that isn't just gangster rap and hardcore.

Although Gouldings voice is wonderful, it is the production from Starsmith which really helps these tracks stand out. Starsmith has done some other bits of remixing as well as production for Goulding, who are working together under the moniker Goldsmith.



Ellie Goulding and Starsmith really are ones to look out for on the UK electro pop scene over the next year or two. If there is any justice in this world, then they will be very successfull. This will probably be helped by the recently Annie Mac endorsed Jakwob Dubstep remix of Starry Eyed, which is shit by the way. Did you know about La Roux before the Skream remix? (Jesus, La Roux sucks ass).

Hopefully more music will be released from them soon, as I've managed to track down mp3s for as many tracks as possible, and still want more! MOAR! Plus, if this teaser video is anything to go by, then they've got some more awesome shit to put out. Plus, sheis a CUTIE.

Here are some links to the mp3s, because sharing is caring. I won't, however, be sharing the Jakwob remix because it's shit, as is most Dubstep. Yeah, it's shit, fuck you.
