Ellie Goulding sets release date for “break-up record”
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 31 July 2012
Ellie Goulding has announced that she’ll release ‘Halcyon’, the sequel to her first LP ‘Lights’, on 9 Oct.
Billed by the singer – whose relationship with Radio 1 DJ Greg James ended back in January – as a somewhat inevitable “break-up record”, it’ll feature her version of Active Child’s ‘Hanging On’, the downbeat Tinie Tempah duet she debuted earlier this month. Meanwhile, the lyric video for the album’s official first single ‘Anything Could Happen’ will premiere via VEVO in a fortnight’s time, a week prior to its release on 21 Aug.
Says Ellie, who since her split from James has been linked to American fratstep DJ Skrillex: “This album for me is a journey from dark into light, from confusion to understanding. I didn’t set out to write a break-up record but I think it became one”.
So whilst you’re hanging on for ‘Halcyon’, what track more apt to listen to than… err, ‘Hanging On’?
