Ellie Goulding 'Changed my LIfe'

Welcome to A Spoonful of Music, this is the first official blog and i have been pondering what to talk about and i thought why not make it about my favourite artist of the moment, Ellie Goulding.

So i have probably just lost half of my readership by lacking originality, but i have jumped on no bandwagon. Yes, she may have topped one too many 'lists' in 2010 but back in August of 2009 Ellie was a firm favourite in my DJ sets. She broke onto my ipod with her version of sleepy head by passion pit and since then, her electro-fied folk voice has changed my life (pardon the cheese).

Her lyrics are crammed with heartbreak and optimism all at the same time, and the sounds in her vocals, produced by Starsmith leave you dumbfounded. In my opinion Guns and Horses is one of her best tracks but newly regenerated 'Starry Eyed' is worth a listen, as well as the 'She is Danger' remix of 'Under the Sheets' which gives a sense of Portishead, 'Dummy' times.

Without the lists Ellie Goulding is going to be a big hit this year when her album hits the shops on March the 22nd.
