Ellie Goulding

About this product

This new extended version of the album includes the single 'Under The Sheets', 'Guns & Horses' and 'Starry Eyed'. plus 5 previously unreleased tracks.

Ellie Goulding's debut album, Lights features ten tracks, including debut single 'Under The Sheets' and single 'Starry Eyed'. Her chief collaborator is Fin Dow-Smith, aka the electro- don Starsmith, who produced the majority of the songs on the album and co-wrote four of them. The two hooked up originally through Myspace whilst Ellie was studying drama at the University of Kent, and something between them clicked.

"When Fin came along it was like we were brother and sister," she says. "Though I write on guitar, I hear the entire sound of songs in my head. And Fin is someone who understands, who can really help me make that sound." Most of the album was recorded in Fin’s bedroom in Bromley. Another key influence on her sound was Frankmusik, who produced the track 'Wish I Stayed'.
