A few weeks ago Ellie Goulding released her second full-length album, Halcyon. It is one of the best complete albums I have heard in a long time, with a good range of emotions, melodies, and beats.
If you are unfamiliar with Ellie Goulding, she is a 25 year-old singer/song-writer from Herefordshire, England. Neil McCormack from The Daily Telegraph brilliantly describes her voice: "Her tremulous vibrato and slightly hoarse timbre
have the feel of something primal and folky, her birdlike high notes
conveying a childlike wonder while darker tones imply ancient depths of
sorrow. She sings like she is strung out on the melody, warbling from a
place of desperate emotion. It really is that rarest and perhaps most
accidental of gifts: an original voice."
Here is a little sample of what he is talking about:
These are some of my favorites from the album:
