THE 405 RADAR: ELLIE GOULDING

Written by The 405
Today I spent the entire morning listening to Ellie Goulding's music on her Myspace player and I expect I'll be doing the same this afternoon. Even with just four full length songs for me to sink my teeth into I've still yet to experience any feeling of boredom, thus is the brilliance of this unsigned Londoners music and voice.
She's got this amazing ability to switch between really beautiful acoustic moments (beginning of 'Guns and Horses') to full blown electric wonderments. Kind of like Imogen Heap, only 1) good and 2) not at all annoying. She's also managed to turn a fairly annoying song by Sam Sparro ('Black and Gold') into something quite amazing.
All I really know about her background is that she grew up in Powys, Wales and that she has a fondness for Bjork and Ella Fitzgerald. Lack of information aside, when you've got talent like this though the songs do all the talking and she's definitely shouting from the rooftops.
Can someone do me a favour and sign this lady up right now!?

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
