Elena Jane "Ellie" Goulding (/ˈɡoʊldɪŋ/; born 30 December 1986)[4] is an English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her career began when she met record producer Starsmith and Frankmusik, and she was later spotted by Jamie Lillywhite, who later became her manager and A&R. After signing to Polydor Records in July 2009, Goulding released her debut extended play, An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year.[5]

In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC's annual Sound of... poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year. Goulding released her debut studio album, Lights, in 2010. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and has sold over 850,000 copies in the UK. Her cover of Elton John's "Your Song" reached number two in the UK in December 2010 and on 29 April 2011 she performed the song at the wedding reception of Prince William and Catherine Middleton at Buckingham Palace. The album's title track, "Lights", was released in the US in March 2011, and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[6][7]

Goulding's second studio album, Halcyon, was released in October 2012, "Anything Could Happen" preceded the album as the lead single. Halcyon debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, and, after 65 weeks, reached number one. Halcyon debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 Chart, her first top ten debut in the United States. Halcyon Days, a repackaged edition of Halcyon, was released on 23 August 2013, it included new singles including "Burn", which became her first UK number-one single in the same month. At the 2014 Brit Awards she received the award for Best British Female.[8] By the end of 2013, she had sold an estimated four million albums and fifteen million singles worldwide.[9]

Early life

Elena Jane Goulding was born in Hereford and raised in Lyonshall, a small village near Kington, Herefordshire, the second of four children (she has a brother and two sisters).[10][11][12] Her mother, Tracey (née Clark), used to work at a supermarket, and her father, Arthur Goulding, came from a "family of undertakers".[12] At age five, her parents separated, and she had a stepfather who was a lorry driver.[13] At age nine she began playing the clarinet, and at fourteen began learning guitar. She attended Lady Hawkins' High School in Kington, where she won a lead part in a school production, the Wizard of Oz, as the scarecrow. At the age of fifteen, she started song writing and while in college she entered a singing competition and won.[14]

After commencing drama, politics and English courses at the University of Kent,[15] where she was exposed to electronic music, she made her sound on the track "Wish I Stayed" with the help of Starsmith and Frankmusik. After two years at Kent, she was spotted by Jamie Lillywhite of Turn First Artists at a university talent contest.[16] After Goulding successfully showcased for Turn First Artists head Sarah Stennett, she was told to leave university and was set up in a house in West London.[16][17] Lillywhite became her manager and A&R, and introduced her to the producer Starsmith who would become her chief collaborator and the primary producer of Lights.

Career

2009–10: Early releases

Goulding performing at Nokia World in September 2010

Although Goulding signed to Polydor Records in July 2009, her debut single, "Under the Sheets", was released through the independent label Neon Gold Records as a deliberately low-key debut, appearing digitally in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2009.[16][18][19] The single peaked at number fifty-three on the UK Singles Chart following a successful appearance on Later... with Jools Holland, performing "Under the Sheets" and "Guns and Horses",[20] and a UK tour supporting Little Boots.[21][22] In October 2009, "Wish I Stayed" was available as a free download as the Single of the Week on iTunes Store UK from 22–28 December 2009.[23]

Before the release of her debut album, Goulding won the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, which showcases the critics, broadcasters and music industry insiders' top choices for rising stars and artists for the coming year.[24] She also won the Critics' Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards, a prize that made her the second artist to win both in the same year.[25] Goulding co-wrote "Love Me 'Cause You Want To" for Gabriella Cilmi's second album, Ten, and three songs, "Remake Me + You", "Notice" and "Jumping into Rivers", for Diana Vickers's debut album, Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree.[26] Her song "Not Following" was used by German singer Lena on her debut album My Cassette Player.[27] Goulding was featured on rapper Tinie Tempah's single "Wonderman" from his debut studio album Disc-Overy (2010).

2010–11: Lights and Bright Lights

Main article: Lights (Ellie Goulding album)

Goulding's debut album Lights was released in March 2010, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number six on the Irish Albums Chart.[28][29][30] Its singles, "Starry Eyed", "Guns and Horses" and "The Writer" peaked at numbers 4, 26 and 19 respectively.[22] As of June 2012, the album has sold over 850,000 copies in the UK and 1.6 million copies worldwide.[31] In August 2010, Goulding released a second EP, Run into the Light, containing remixes of songs from Lights. The album was supported by Nike and was released through Polydor as a running soundtrack in an effort to get Goulding's music taken up by the national running subculture.[32] In November 2010, Lights was re-released as Bright Lights, with six new tracks added. It was originally announced that the lead single from Bright Lights would be the new edit of the title track with a release scheduled for 1 November 2010.[33] This was ultimately scrapped to allow her cover of Elton John's "Your Song" to be released in conjunction with the John Lewis Christmas 2010 advertising campaign in the UK. The single became Goulding's second highest-charting single to date, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart.[22] The song also charted in some European countries in early 2011.[34] In January 2011, it was announced that the title track from Lights would serve as the second single from Bright Lights.[35]

Goulding performing in 2011

Goulding toured in support of Lights and supported Passion Pit in March 2010 and John Mayer[36] during his British tour in May 2010.[37] During the summer she performed at a number of festivals. On 29 May she performed at the Dot to Dot Festival in Bristol.[38] She performed a set on 25 June at the Glastonbury Festival 2010 on the John Peel Stage.[39] Her third EP was a live recording of part of her set at the iTunes Festival 2010.[40] The whole set was ultimately included as bonus content on the iTunes version of Bright Lights.[41] She made her T in the Park debut on 11 July.[42] In early 2011, she recorded an original song for the film Life in a Day. Goulding was placed at number five on Rolling Stone's annual hot list in February 2011.[43] In February 2011, she returned to the Brit Awards where she was nominated for Best British Female and Best British Breakthrough Act, but lost out to Laura Marling and Tinie Tempah, respectively.[44]

In August/September 2010, she was an opening act for U2 on the U2 360 Tour in Zurich (two nights), Munich and Vienna. She also played live at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2011.[12] Goulding made her American television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 7 April 2011 performing "Starry Eyed".

She travelled with Skrillex on his South American tour and many other tours of his alike.[49] Goulding headlined the 2011 Wakestock Festival in Wales, performing on 8 July.[50] In August, she performed at V Festival for her second year in a row.[51] Following the re-release of Lights and the American release of the album, Goulding said she would soon begin work on a second studio album with an expected release in September 2011.[52] On 6 August 2011, Goulding performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago.[53] Goulding performed at the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert on 11 December 2011 in Oslo, Norway, where she also served on a panel discussion with Amy Lee of Evanescence and Janelle Monáe.[54] On 1 December 2011, Goulding performed at the White House during the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, alongside the likes of Big Time Rush and will.i.am.[55] In February 2011, Goulding told the Daily Star that she had plans to release a follow-up to Lights sometime in 2011.[56] On 19 September 2011, it was announced that Goulding would open for Katy Perry's California Dreams Tour, replacing Jessie J due to a foot injury.[57][58]

2014–present: Third studio album

In November 2014, Goulding announced that she was focusing on a third studio album.[84]

In early 2015, Goulding released the song "Love Me like You Do" which was featured in the soundtrack to the movie adaptation of the hit novel Fifty Shades of Grey. The video was released to YouTube on 22 January, to precede an official release date of 15 February.[85] The single has been a commercial success, spending four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, topping the charts in many other nations including Australia, New Zealand, and Germany, and reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single held the record for the most-streamed track in a single week in the United Kingdom (streamed 2.58 million times), and worldwide (streamed 15.5 million times).[86]

Goulding will appear on the upcoming Major Lazer album Peace Is the Mission on the track "Powerful", alongside Tarrus Riley. The track will be released together with the album on 1 June 2015. A preview of the single was revealed on 23 April 2015.[87]

Artistry and influences

Goulding possesses the vocal range of a soprano[88][89][90][91] and is noted for her high piercing vibrato, breathy tone and emotive delivery.[92][93] In a review for Halcyon, Neil McComick of The Daily Telegraph described her voice as "something special", continuing; "Her tremulous vibrato and slightly hoarse timbre have the feel of something primal and folky, her birdlike high notes conveying a childlike wonder while darker tones imply ancient depths of sorrow. She sings like she is strung out on the melody, warbling from a place of desperate emotion. It really is that rarest and perhaps most accidental of gifts: an original voice". He then continued in regards to her vocal layering stating, "producer Jim Eliot puts her voice front, back and centre, banking up choral walls of vibrato, fashioning hooks from cut up samples of chirrups and chants, and creating unusual textures from trills and warbles".[94] During an interview with Carson Daly, Goulding described her own voice saying;

"I think sometimes it sounds like my voice is like, out of control... I have to really control it because it just kind of goes everywhere. Like, sometimes stuff comes out that I don't expect. A lot, actually [...]. It's so funny because my favourite thing to do is imitate opera singers, but I've never had a singing lesson. Oh, I had a lesson just to teach me how to breathe better, but I never really had a singing lesson."[95]

Will Hermes of Rolling Stone compared her voice to that of Dolly Parton, stating that her upper register was dazzling whilst also complimenting her skill in vocal multi layering.[96] Megan Farokhmanesh of Paste magazine stated "Goulding has a lovely voice, but occasionally her soprano-strung vocals hit a note that rubs the eardrums the wrong way" although she praised Goulding overall for her "talent for gorgeous high heart-tugging vocals".[91]

Goulding has listed Björk, Joni Mitchell and Lauryn Hill as influences, as well as contemporaries such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, Florence and the Machine, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, stating that she is "blown away" by them.[97] She also expressed admiration for rappers Kanye West, Drake and Nicki Minaj.[98] Goulding's musical style has been compared to that of Kate Nash, Lykke Li and Tracey Thorn.[99]

Goulding's debut album Lights (2010) experimented with genres including indie pop, synthpop, folktronica and indietronica. The album contained "sparkling pop with a folky heart and an electronic edge" and was noted as being infectious.[100] The album incorporated "acoustic guitar" and "retro-synthpop" compared to that of Little Boots and La Roux, while the production contained "folkie origins under a welter of busily cycling synths and programmed beats".[101] Goulding's second album Halcyon followed in the same vein, including genres such as indie pop, synthpop and dream pop. She stepped away from the electronic sound of her previous album and moved to a more tribal and anthemic sound containing a bit more piano and vocal.[102]

Personal life

Goulding is a keen runner, aiming to run six miles every day and in 2010 announced plans to run a marathon.[12] In support of her second EP, Run into the Light, she invited a small number of fans through her Facebook pages to run with her in seven different cities on her UK tour,[32] and has announced that she will be doing the same across Europe and the US. Goulding ran the inaugural Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. on 28 April 2013, earning a time of 1:41:35.[103][104]

Goulding is close friends with American folk singer Lissie. The two toured the United Kingdom together in 2010.[105][106] She is also good friends with New Zealand indie pop singer Lorde and American pop singers Katy Perry and Taylor Swift (she appears in the music video of Swift's song "Bad Blood" released in May 2015).[107][108] In February 2012, Rolling Stone[109] reported that Goulding was dating the artist Skrillex, who he collaborated with for the track "Summit" on the Bangarang EP.[110] In late October 2012 the couple had split up, citing an inability to make their long distance relationship work.[111] In February 2015, it was confirmed that she is in a relationship with McFly band member, Dougie Poynter.[112]

Philanthropy

In 2010, Goulding participated in the Bupa Great North Run for the British Heart Foundation.[113] In 2011, Goulding ran the She Runs LA event for charity Students Run LA, which aims to increase access to sport for less privileged children across the Los Angeles Unified School District.[114]

In 2012, she partnered with Pandora Radio, one dollar for each sale of her mixtape was donated to the Free the Children charity.[115][116] On 1 June 2013, Goulding performed at Gucci's global concert event in London whose campaign "Chime for Change" aims to raise awareness of women's issues in terms of education, health and justice.[117]

On 15 November 2014, Goulding joined the charity group Band Aid 30 along with other British and Irish pop acts, recording the latest version of the track "Do They Know It's Christmas?" at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, to raise money for the 2014 Ebola crisis in Western Africa.[118]
