Ellie On Woman’s Hour.
About 17 minutes in, there is a lovely interview with Ellie on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. She also performed Guns And Horses acoustically, yes-it is gorgeous. This is wonderful, honest interview.
Ellie Goulding-Lights.
The album opens with a different version of Guns And Horses. When I first heard it, I didn’t like it. But, I played it a few more times and adored it. I’ve heard the demos of most of the tracks on the album, but hearing the Lights version of them all may upset some people that want Ellie to just sing with a guitar and have no electro sounds on the album. But before you judge it, give it a listen. Sit down with some headphones on and you will hear one of the most beautifullest albums ever.
I know I said all this about Florence but Lights is as amazing as Lungs. It really is. I’m not just saying it because I love Ellie but there is no fault at all on this album. No album fillers. Just good, honest music. Her lyrics are gorgeous and you can feel that she feels every word. We need more honest singers and luckily there are some decent ones around.
I know that this is a poor excuse for a review haha but, I just want to make it clear that this album, is stunning. I don’t want to write a review like you’d read in a magazine. I’m writing it as a fan that has been a fan of Ellie’s since the start of last year and has waited forever for this album. If the album is number 1 on Sunday I’m going to get drunk.Okay I don’t need a reason but y’know!
Hopefully This Love will be the next single. There’s something about it that has “NUMBER 1” written all over it.
I could honestly ramble on about the excellence of this album, but if you have it-you’ll already know this. If you don’t have it, most record shops are open until half 5 so off you go and buy it!

ELLIE! ELLIE! ELLIE! GOULDING! GOULDING! GOULDING!
THREE THINGS.
1-KEEP BUYING STARRY EYED. It’s now Sunday..so it’ll chart TODAY. But keep buying it! HMV…iTunes…WHEREVER. BUY IT. So far, it’s the best single to come out this year. But y’know if she releases This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) as a single…which some are saying is the next one, then that’ll be the best single of the year. Along with a billion others that I’ll regard as SONG OF THE YEAR! Wooooooahhh….slight ramble there. I need sleep.
2- Ellie will be on Alan Carr’s show 10pm. Channel 4. THIS Thursday…that’s the 4th I think! More than likely performing Starry Eyed. Oh when she uses the drum after the second chorus and..yeah, I don’t need to continue. BUT IT’S FRIGGIN’ BEAUTIFUL.
Save the best ’til last……………..
3- LIGHTS IS FINALLY OUT ON MONDAY SO GO BUY IT!!!!

Marina & The Diamonds- The Family Jewels.
Finally Marina’s debut album is out today. I no longer have to play the EP over and over wishing and waiting for an album. It is finally out and I am currently listening to my favourite album of the year. Of course this will more than likely change next week when Ellie Goulding’s album comes out. So I shall just say, before I go into some kind of detail of how amazing The Family Jewels is, that this year- is a good year for debut albums. Lights and The Family Jewels are going to be the best albums you will hear this year.
The album opens with Are You Satisfied? which SHOULD be a single, but I’ve heard that Oh No! is the next release-it doesn’t matter what the next single is because this album is beautiful from start to finish. I remember hearing about Marina early last year and just finding as many songs as I could by her. One was Hermit The Frog, which I’m happy is on the album. I love her track, Porn Is Good For The Soul but sadly, it isn’t on the album. There’s a different version of Hollywood and of course I Am Not A Robot and Obsessions are on there.
Basically, you need to go out and buy this album. There is not a bad track on there at all. I know it’s a brief review but you really don’t need me to throw a bunch of descriptive words around. It’s a fantastic album, so go out and buy it 🙂
Operator Please-NEW VIDEO!!!!
Here it finally is…the new video by Operator Please :
The xx Live.
Before I put the link, The xx have had to cancel some shows due to the sad passing of Romy’s dad. No idea when/if the dates are being re-scheduled, but to be honest, it isn’t that important. What’s important is Romy being alright and stuff. I tried to type this without sounding like a twat. Hopefully it worked. The dates are a few European ones.
This clip is actually going to be on Channel 4 in 5 minutes….but nobody will actually see this, so here’s the link :
Beat In My Bones.
