Ellie Goulding is catching up with herself. No longer running to stand still (well, not all the time, away), she has arrived at a point in her career, in her life, where the songs she is writing bear witness to the place she is in now, after five tumultuous years of professional and personal transformation. Ellie s bold and brilliant new album, Delirium, represents an almighty step change, shaping a new narrative for the next stage in this remarkable singer s journey. Working with writers and producers such as Max Martin, Greg Kurstin, Ryan Tedder, and Disclosure s Guy Lawrence, Ellie made, she says, a conscious decision with this album: that I wanted it to be on another level.
