Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed

by **topopMAC1** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 10:22 am

"Starry Eyed" is to be Ellie Goulding's second single (full scale debut) on 22nd February 2010 according to DigitalSpy!

The new single, 'Starry Eyed', seems rather more positive. What's it about?

"It's about letting go. As opposed to all the sad and depressing things I write about, I decided to write something about the joining together of people in some kind of euphoric state - be it at a festival, at a show or in a club. I wanted a song that would reach out to people of every background and every enjoyment, whether you enjoy a natural high, taking drugs, drinking or whatever. Because I'm essentially a pop artist I wanted to write a song that everyone can relate to."

Here is "Starry Eyed" on YouTube:

Any thoughts?

YES !! I love it
It's her most commercial song, it could be hear breakthrough song too.

I was about to make a thread about this!

Anyway, been listening to this since last week! The Jakwob remix is awesome too!

I'm expecting this to do well in the charts!

I like this but prefer Under The Sheets.

Gorgeous. Wouldn't say it was her most commercial song. It's more chillout album material.

Just listened to this in full for the first time. If this is a hit than she's going to be the most overplayed artist of the year :roll:

I really hope not, her voice is awful.

I like it, but it's very Little Boots.

Boots at least has a pleasant voice & she doesn't peddle this kind of urban-esque stuff.

Nah, sounds like Emiliana Torrini to me.

Yeah, she gets Bjork comparisons. And to be fair, Beren, i would say Marina's voice is more divisive though i love it. Ellie is great and diverse, and this is a more honest and pure song than Marina's new one.

Marina sounds like a woman. Ellie sounds like a little girl. 'nough said 8-)

So do Kate Bush, Bjork, Emiliana, Rickie Lee Jones and plenty of other great singers. Some people like little girl voices.

I don't think Bjork or Emiliana Torrini sound like little girls :-?

they're both brilliant too! 8-)

Not a fan of the final mix unfortunately, but I prepared myself for that a long time ago, and obviously, I can just stick with the demo.

I love the Jakwob remix of this but the original is pretty amazing too.

For some reason I don't like this girl, but this song and Under The Sheets are brilliant.

by **CHB** » Sat Jan 09, 2010 11:46 pm

Under The Sheets is much better!

This is very good. I prefer it to her last one.

They do sometimes. As much as any of the others i mentioned do. It's Oh So Quiet and Jungle Drum could be from children's musicals.
