Lyrically, Goulding reassesses what she demands in terms in love. ![]() Goulding is best when she's not holding back and that's exactly what she does here. The song lift and lifts to its biggest strength which is the mighty chorus. It's not an obvious pop song but it's grandiose and it blows you away on first listen. If there's a hit on this album so far it's this one. "I'm not locked in my bones, I've been changed forever and it makes the love your given change too," a manipulated voice says. This is one of three short interludes on the album. It's a dark, haunting song with a chorus that shudders with pounding percussion. How Deep Is Too Deep particularly sounds like it would be at home on that record. She's strayed away from the straight-up pop, going back to a Halcyon-tinged sound. What's striking so far is how different this set is to Delirium. It's sat with me since it released and that chorus just keeps getting mightier and mightier. In my opinion, this is the strongest single Goulding has released since Delirium. Straight into the single and it sounds even better coming off the back of Start. There's never been a Goulding album opener like this. Particularly when she's joined by Serpentwithfeet who sounds heavenly on it. It's a song about renewal and there's something cleansing about the sonics of it all. A faint sound of a crowds fades into sombre keys before Goulding comes in singing, "You can't even begin to understand the magic she had before you killed her." Her voice sounds spectacular as she gives a powerful performance in the chorus. The first is a mostly new collection of songs while the second EG.0 is made up of the singles she's dropped over the past few years. After five years, Ellie Goulding has returned with her fourth album Brightest Blue. ![]()
