Ellie Goulding should have a lot to look forward to in 2010, not only does she already have an array of top class pop songs which are begging to invade radio stations across the country, but she is also a refreshingly new kind of pop star. In an industry currently swarmed with ladies and their synths Ellie Goulding is leading a crusade for a more organic form of electronic pop. Many of her songs are encompassed in truly beautiful electroacoustic soundscapes while her potent lyrics cite love in both its good and bad forms...all this comes together to produce the sound of a singer-songwriter veering away from the middle of the road and heading straight for the dizzy heights of unique pop stardom. Though this all sounds very dreamy and unreal Ellie's songs somehow manage to represent true human emotion in a truly magical and intriguing context whilst still maintaining a sense of realism for the listener. This is most definitely the sound of pop in 2010.
Now, I can't really mention Ellie without mentioning Starsmith - her musical partner in crime. Starsmith is responsible for many of the beautiful backdrops behind Ellie's songs and he also looks likely to shine in 2010. With a host of wonderful mixes under his belt and a really exciting ability to create spellbinding pop tunes which I haven't been seen from a producer in a long time, Starsmith looks prepared to set the musical world alight.
