Ellie Goulding - Brightest Blue

 

140-gram double LP w/ D-side etching

Brightest Blue is Ellie Goulding's highly anticipated fourth studio album release — split into two sides to showcase both her artistic depth and commercial success — lead by platinum singles "Close To Me" and "Hate Me". The full record was executive produced by Ellie Goulding and Joe Kearns with additional writing and production from Tobias Jesso Jr., Starsmith, ILYA, serpentwithfeet, Patrick Wimberly (of Chairlift) and Jim Eliot. Double LP with one side etched.

"(The album's first half) reflects my vulnerability... it acknowledges a complex world where relationships still dictate our happiness and heartbreak and can still be the most painful thing in the world, no matter how enlightened you are," Goulding says. "The tracks also symbolize growing up and becoming a woman."

On the five-track second half, "EG.0," which features the bulk of Brightest Blue‘s collaborative tracks, Goulding says it "encapsulates my confident, brave and fearless side and features all my recent collaborations. I often find myself writing about my thoughts and emotions in a way that I know will be catchy and memorable. I will always seek to use my voice in ways that no one would ever expect and look to collaborate with the least likely, exciting and eclectic group of other artists."

Since the release of her debut album Lights in 2010, multi-platinum, singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding's incredible career to date has seen her receive two Grammy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nomination, two BRIT Awards, sales of 17 million albums and more than 128 million singles, and 20 billion streams worldwide. She holds Billboard's Hot 100 record for the most entries on the chart this century by a British female vocalist, has had eight Top 40 radio hits, has more than 50 million followers on social media, has performed for audiences over one million and graced the stage at every major U.S. festival including Coachella and Lollapalooza.

She has performed by invitation for President Obama, the Royal Family and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, is a UN Global Environmental Ambassador, and is a noted campaigner and philanthropist speaking regularly on the climate emergency.
