i'll start by coming clean - i have a huge crush on ellie goulding. the English singer-songwriter jumped onto the scene with her debut release Lights in early 2010, and has held a special place in my heart ever since. while i know i should be getting all excited about kanye's Dark Fantasy, which i definitely do not have a leaked copy of wandering about my hard drive, the highlight of my week so far has been ellie's cover of elton john's Your Song. the poignant lyrics of this track lend themselves terribly well to ellie's voice, which has an unnerving way of sounding both timid and confident at the same time. we should see a sophomore album from her sometime this fall, and i'm quite excited to see how her sound develops. if this is any indication of what's to come, well, colour me sold.
ellie goulding - your song (elton john cover)
this track off of Lights should give you an idea of what she sounds like with a little more production and polish behind her
