The first
song “Don’t Say A Word” seems like an intro song to me as it lacks a chorus. It
doesn’t really stay in mind. “My Blood” is already the highlight of the album –
what an extraordinary track you just can’t get it out of your head. “Anything
Could Happen” might be the most popular song, I hear it in commercials and
TV-shows ALL the time! Its mood is quite catchy. “Only You” is certainly not my
favorite, as I think it comes across quite annoying, though it improves with
time. The title track “Halcyon” is what I expect from an Ellie Goulding album;
breathtaking. “Figure 8” is the last highlight, a dub-step sounding song that completely
manages to get your body shakin’.
“Joy”, “Explosions”
and “Hanging On” have nice melodies, but you forget about them easily. “Atlantis”
is cool, having an unusual edge to it, the last one “Dead In The Water” is
pleasant to listen to. I’m not incredibly impressed by Ellie Goulding’s second
one, as the first one was so path-breaking. She certainly stayed true to her
style and tries out new things in terms of sound and voice-mixing and still,
all songs are nice to listen to, but “Halcyon” in general is less groovy and lacks a
chartbuster like “Lights”! Can’t wait for the concert though and, hey, it’s
still Ellie Goulding!
there's songs I *love* on here but others nowhere as much.
ReplyDelete'Anything Could Happen' raised my hopes very high. I do
love how innovative 'Figure 8' sounds (esp the breakdown
bit at the end) definitley like this direction. I agree MY BLOOD
is amazing.
I'm so so so in love with Ellie! Figure 8 and "My Blood" are just masterpieces, we have the same taste ;) I also talked about her on a post I did a few months ago > http://lestrendykids.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/my-2012-in-music.html
