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.” The second half of the album, meanwhile, “Encapsulates my confident, brave and fearless side and features all my recent collaborations.” Goulding continued, “I often find myself writing about my thoughts and emotions in a way that I know will be catchy and memorable. The tracks also symbolise growing up and becoming a woman.” In an official statement, the artist explained that the first half of the record “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 enlisted a variety of talented writers and producers for Brightest Blue, including Tobias Jesso Jr, Starsmith, ILYA, serpentwithfeet, Patrick Wimberly (of Chairlift) and Jim Eliot, among others. The artist has revealed that her forthcoming full-length will be split into two sections: “Brightest Blue”, executively produced by Goulding and Joe Kearns, and “EG.0”. Goulding has also offered a taste of the album with such tracks as ‘Close To Me’ (with Diplo, featuring Swae Lee), ‘Hate Me’ (featuring the late rapper Juice WRLD) and ‘Worry About Me’, a collaboration with the R&B artist, blackbear. The announcement for Brightest Blue comes on the heels of single ‘Power’, released last week, along with a sultry video that was shot entirely in lockdown. Ellie Goulding has just revealed details about her anticipated fourth studio album, Brightest Blue. Set for a 17 July street date via Polydor Records, the album marks Goulding’s first full-length in nearly five years, following 2015’s Delirium.
