The electropop artist, Ellie Goulding, is back with her sophomore album “Halcyon.” Her signature voice is mixed with her signature electronic beats and soft ballads, much like her previous album “Lights.”
“Halcyon” has a more mature sound with her experimenting with different sounds within the album. This makes it an adventure when listening to every track. The multi-level album definitely makes Ellie Goulding a more versatile artist.
Calvin Harris makes an appearance in the song, “I Need Your Love.” This and the first single, “Anything Could Happen,” gives the album electro-pop sound. On the opposition, “Hanging on” and “Atlantis” give more of the electro sound that she is known for. “My Blood,” “Only You” and “Figure 8” are feet stomping anthems sure to get you up and going.
There is also a deluxe version of the album that feature five more tracks with an appearance by fellow Brit and rapper Tinie Tempah and a remix of the single “Anything Could Happen.” The album also features her hit single “Lights.”
“Halcyon” is a knockout album and will be sure to please fans and newcomers alike.
