Description

ellie goulding returns with halcyon, an amazing album that reports a transition period in the life of the talented British artist. halcyon is the successor of lights, debut album by the British singer who reached No. 1 of the British top and was strongly praised by critics. the single lights has been kept at the top of the tables, as the top billboard 100.
the close relationship of ellie with friends and collaborators djs influenced the music of the British artist. halcyon is a balanced blend of electronic music with the folk-pop so characteristic of ellie. this combination already present in lights is now developed and deepened by the artist who confesses to a passionate about electronic music. an example of this combination of sounds is the powerful and energetic anything could happen, the first single to be revealed.
in halcyon the voice element brings a deep complexity to songs that are inspired by memories and banal emotions. the result are austere and at the same time passionate and enigmatic melodies.
