Ellie Goulding’s new album “Delirium” haunts you with her inimitable vocals and makes you want to get up and dance.
The British singer and songwriter released her 22-track filled album, 16 of which are new, this past Friday through Polydor Record.
“Delirium” is Goulding’s third studio album and not only is it captivating, but filled with pop stardom songs such as, “On My Mind,” “Holding On For Life” and “Don’t Panic,” which clearly describe the struggles of being in relationships while adding ruthlessly catchy pop beats.
This comes as no surprise since the singer has had two chart-topping albums and eight hit singles in the UK, and “Delirium” rising to the third spot on their charts as of now.
Goulding was first discovered back in 2011, when her single “Lights” became a hit on all music charts around the world.
The singer also teamed up with leading music producers and songwriters Ryan Tedder, frontman of the rock band OneRepublic, Greg Kurstin, who produced and co-wrote Adele’s new single “Hello” and Max Martin who is the man behind some of Taylor Swift’s hit singles.
Although her last album “Halcyon” was also a dance floor hit, her new album “Delirium” focuses more on confidence and relationships; the intro even bridges the gap between the two albums.
Not surprisingly, Goulding took to social media the day the album was released to answer fan’s questions and share the meaning behind every song on the album. For example, Goulding wrote that her song “Around U” is about the awkward early stages in a relationship.
Even the lyrics clearly describe the song, “Still looking up and down while you’re being mysterious I see really big things for us…Everything that you say, god I wish I had said it first. And forgetting I had ever hurt.”
Despite the fact that Goulding’s new album wants to make you get up and dance, some of her more successful tracks get lost with others that do not connect with her album like “Lost And Found” and “Scream It Out” which are more of calm than her typical upbeat and electronic dance music songs.
However, this has not stopped the album from being a good album and reaching almost five stars on iTunes, which if you ask me says a lot about its quality. I would definitely recommend this album to other people.
