I just got back from two weeks in the UK, and I didn’t go a day without hearing the name Ellie Goulding. There has been a whirlwind of hype across the pond, which recently propelled Goulding’s debut album “Lights” to number 1 on the UK charts. Her songs feature a heavily electronic influenced sound, which is the result of her collaborations with Frankmusik, and his protegé Starsmith. Following in the steps of artist like Lady Gaga, La Roux and Little Boots, the reign of the indie/electro/synthpop hybrid continues.
