Deluxe expanded edition of her debut album now featuring seven bonus tracks including a cover version of Elton John's 'Your Song'. 2010 debut album from the new sweetheart of British Pop. With her unique blend of Folk influences and Electronica she is already a firm favorite amongst tastemakers and bloggers alike. Lights features 10 tracks, including the singles 'Under The Sheets' and '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. Ellie's songs are built around big proper tunes that lift you up and spin you round, yet there's something off-center about them, something sparkly, filmic, haunting, odd. She mixes heartfelt emotion with other-wordly atmospherics, spins cool Electronica into dreamy warmth. Her insistence on putting her guitar in every song, whether an acoustic cover or a gorgeous song about new love gives her soaring Electro-Folk an earthed rootedness. Polydor.

把簡單的流行民謠融入時髦的電音旋律空間，英國女歌手Ellie Goulding彩繪出folktronica的音樂新世界，她的音樂輕盈、活潑，真情奔放，很容易讓樂迷的心跟著悅耳的旋律一起飛揚，英國衛報形容Ellie的歌聲彷彿是空靈樂派的Cocteau Twins樂團唱起了流行樂的感覺。Ellie在2010年大放異彩，先是獲得BBC新聞網站評選為「2010年流行新聲音」名單的榜首，再獲全英音樂獎「樂評首選大獎」的肯定，緊跟著，她的首張專輯【Lights】於發行首週就站上英國金榜冠軍，這一切對她而言就跟她的音樂帶給樂迷的感覺一樣，只能用驚喜連連來形容。

1986年12月30日出生於英格蘭中西部赫里福郡一個人口不到千人的小村落Lyonshall，15歲時開始練吉他，寫些民謠風格的音樂，隨後在肯特大學唸戲劇系的時候迷上電子音樂，她在英國流行電子樂製作人Frankmusik [*Mika]的協助下完成了"Wish I Stayed"，這首歌輕快、恣意的流行電子樂創作建立了Ellie的音樂創作雛形，之後，Ellie與電音製作新銳Starsmith [*Lady Gaga]合作，由於雙方頗有默契，接著就著手進行首張專輯【Lights】的錄製，Ellie為了音樂夢想，放棄學業，遷居倫敦。Ellie在2009年9月與英國音樂名廠Polydor簽下合約，隨後在流行女歌手Little Boots的巡迴演唱會中擔任暖場演出。

Ellie表示：「專輯裡頭的許多歌曲都是我兩年前用吉他彈唱的方式所創作的，記錄了一些成功或失敗的浪漫體驗。」俏麗動感，讓人怦然心動的單曲"Starry Eyed"，晉升英國金榜第4名；描述一段黑暗的男女關係的"Under The Sheets"表現了電子節奏的亮麗感與勁道；"Guns And Horses"運用木琴與撥弦聲效帶出鮮跳節拍；"This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)"帶來了心蕩神馳的流行電子樂快感；"The Writer"在輕柔的樂聲之中散發著民謠音樂的動人情感。
