Ellie Goulding - Higher Than Heaven

[Bon Frère]

She's genuinely releasing some of the best music of her career with this album but it just seems like no-one cares. Shame.

Her drawn out campaigns cause such apathy in general. I would’ve loved nothing more than for By the End of the the Night to have dropped last year and then the album a week later.

When there’s soon to have been 6 songs released (hell, 7 if you include Fields of Gold - with one of those having a million remixes) and not much success or charting for the majority of those, it’s just feels rather damp squib instead of an instantly big event.

I sing what I love and I love what I sing, stop me stop me, I’m stopping ya!

Just a bit random that I never predict which song she is going to sing live…

 

[strictmachine79]

She’s getting the promo in.

 

[Bon Frère]

Miracle went to number 3 in the charts.

Mogul. Mentor. Multi-hyphenate.

[Trouble in Paradise]

I am dying, the album is not even out and she’s moved on in interviews!

 

[Bon Frère]

I’m not going to let the world forget about the short film that changed the acting landscape, inspired countless famous actors and actresses since and that all the critics in the know refer to in hushed tones as “The Real Godfather Part III”.

EG.OT queen

 

[Island]

Hasn’t she been teasing the classical music thing since the Brightest Blue era?

 

[GRMusic]

She will be releasing 4 of the album tracks on March 31st, ahead of the album.

The way this just feels like Make A Scene album tracks getting TV performances at this stage…

 

[Suburbia]

It's mad to me that she's peddling stale After Hours-lite songs in 2023 when she's simultaneously having an effortless smash (her first in over 7 years) with a genre that feels fresh and like a good fit for her. The British public demands that she drop these Zara Larson demos immedietly and only perform the national anthem "Miracle" in their place instead.

Not confirmation she won't be releasing any more music for a long time before this album is even out

 

[strictmachine79]

She will be releasing 4 of the album tracks on March 31st, ahead of the album.

I don’t see the logic in this? Unless it’s to tie in with her Amazon gig thing?

None of this era makes sense.

 

[D.Jay]

My guess is that it is to tie in with her Amazon special, especially as the songs being released were performed at KOKO weeks ago.

Speaking of which these are Love Goes On, Cure For Love (FINALLY!), Midnight Dreams and Higher Than Heaven (FINALLY!).

What in the Sonique-lite is going on

Miracle is up to number 2 in the first look chart.
