Ellie Goulding messes up live performance of “Starry Eyed” on Alan Carr

She might have just had a number one album in the charts, but that won’t help her from getting the jitters. She sounded off on this live performance of her single “Starry Eyed.” But, it has to be said that the track is very vocally complicated, with blips, echoes and twisted edits. So, singing it live is not an easy task.

Ellie Goulding’s debut album “Lights” has leaked!

Critic’s Choice award winner Ellie Goulding has gotten a lot of buzz for her debut album Lights, but it doesn’t look too nice and bright right now as the album has leaked 5 days before the release date. Enough time for all the hipsters to get on it before it hits the stores. Click here to investigate further.

We originally though this amazing cover was Ellie Goulding’s artwork for Lights. Now, in keeping with the theme of the single, we get this mediocre cover. It turns out it was made by a blog we frequent. However, this is not too bad and we are currently reeling off of her cover of Sam Sparro’s “Black + Gold.”

This is an old picture but we love what they did with it. They zoomed in, added the light lines and did a really good job with the typeface and fonts. Lovely cover and probably works with the music. Lights comes out March 1st, 2010.

Premiere: Video: “Starry-Eyed” by Ellie Goulding

Our favorite song by Ellie Goulding has gotten the video treatment. “Starry-Eyed” is an ethereal evolution of a little-known genre by the name of folktronica. This song can go places given the right promotion. The video’s midway OK. This is the second single off of her debut album, which has been titled Lights.

Ellie Goulding performs “Starry-Eyed” at Brit Awards launch

This is the first time we have seen Ellie Goulding grace the stage and this song is hard to perform as it’s filled with blips and studio edits, but she pulled it off nicely. We are excited to hear more from her debut, which is yet to be titled.

Ellie Goulding wins a Brit Award

We introduced Ellie Goulding back in July and then featured her music on compilations and on here.  Well, she has gone and won the Brit award that is designed to propel lesser known new artists to great heights. This is the third year this award has been presented and previous winners are Florence + The Machine and Adele, so you know what kind of impact this has. We like her songs “Gun + Horses,” “Under The Sheets” and especially “Starry Eyed.” No word yet on when her album will debut. But, you can check her official page or MySpace profile.

If to 2009 is the year of anything other than the death of the late and great Michael Jackson, it is the year of electro. All kinds. Ladyhawke, La Roux, Lady GaGa, Frankmusik, Noah, VV Brown, Little Boots, Lykke Li and many others. And they keep on coming and coming. This time around it’s the first-listen impressive Ellie Goulding who is making waves across MySpace and the electroclash blogosphere. We first heard of her a while back but she didn’t have enough tracks. But now with solid numbers like the remix-ready “Starry-Eyed” and the hard-to-overcome “Wish I Stayed” featuring “it” boy Frankmusik. The music is electronic but accessible. She fuses acoustic aspects with clash beats. Kind of like Madonna’s last good moment on American Life. The beats are loud and solid but the lyrics are opulent with emotion. Exactly what the iPod doctor prescribes.
