'Aftertaste' scales its chorus with stomping beats and drizzled electronics, while Ellie hopelessly admits: 'I know there's nothing I can do to make you stay.' 'Don't Panic' sits on a bed of vivacious xylophone trickles as she warns: 'I've got big dreams baby, so don't you overcomplicate it.' It feels like, although both are fizzier than a cocktail of sherbet lemon and 7 Up, when working with Kurstin her lyrics are cleverly exposed and blunt.

Goulding's songwriting partnership with Greg Kurstin offers the more interesting moments though. They are easy on the ear, inoffensively catchy, but effortlessly executed. Alors qu'elle publiera l'album 'Delirium' en novembre, Ellie Goulding lance le single 'On My Mind', diffrent et dcoiffant, entre lectro-pop et son urbain. Again on 'Codes', the hooks come thicker and faster than a fishing tournament, while new single 'Army' builds and builds into a glorious mountaintop chorus. Both prove that Martin's pop expertise fits nicely with the 28-year-old's singer-songwriter brain. Fifty Shades single 'Love Me Like You Do' is the most eloquent pop effort to ever soundtrack BDSM, while its follow-up 'On My Mind' is a striding reggae-tinted retort that definitely isn't a response to Ed Sheeran's 'Don't'. Add to the mix previous collaborator Greg Kurstin (Katy Perry, Sia) and Ryan Tedder (Adele, BeyoncГ©), and you've got an all-star team to rival The Avengers.Д«ut do big names mean big songs? In the case of Delirium, it certainly hasn't hurt it. Max Martin's golden touch has been responsible for more KO hits than Mohammad Ali. Enter the hit-maker responsible for Britney Spears, *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and, more recently and definitely more aptly in these circumstances, Taylor Swift. It would make sense for Goulding, then, to team up with the biggest names in the business. This is the moment she goes from a singer-songwriter who does pop very well, to a fully-fledged popstar who has her eyes set firmly on a chart residency. Of course, despite the Hereford-born star's folk-tinged beginnings, she has always been considered a pop belle - and as chart-topping hit 'Burn' proved, she also has quite the talent for it.Д«ut maybe what Ellie meant was not so much about a big shift in sound, but rather a step up in superstardom.

There were more than a few muffled sniggers when Ellie Goulding mused in an interview that her third outing would be an 'experiment', only then to reveal that her wild foray out of the box would be to record 'a big pop album'.
