Today sees global superstar Ellie Goulding reveal details of her highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Brightest Blue’ with a new release date of July 17th.
New album ‘Brightest Blue’, will include a number of recent releases alongside a plethora of new songs, with the album being set in two parts, ‘Brightest Blue’ (executively produced by Ellie Goulding & Joe Kearns) and ‘EG.0’ respectively. Across the two halves Ellie enlisted a number of writers and producers to help create the finished product, including the likes of Tobias Jesso Jr., Starsmith, ILYA, serpentwithfeet, Patrick Wimberly (of Chairlift) and Jim Eliot amongst others.
Explaining her thoughts behind the first half of the record Ellie explain that it “reflects my vulnerability… it acknowledges a complex world where relationships still dictate our happiness and heartbreak and can still be the most painful thing in the world, no matter how enlightened you are. The tracks also symbolise growing up and becoming a woman.” While the second half of the album “encapsulates my confident, brave and fearless side and features all my recent collaborations.” Ellie elaborates, “I often find myself writing about my thoughts and emotions in a way that I know will be catchy and memorable. I will always seek to use my voice in ways that no one would ever expect and look to collaborate with the least likely, exciting and eclectic group of other artists.”
New track ‘Power’, taken from the ‘Brightest Blue’ part of the new record, was released last week alongside the stunning new video shot in lockdown, watch the video below.
Last month, Ellie was a featured performer in Global Citizen’s charity livestream, ‘One World: Together At Home’ which aired on April 19th and raised over $170 million for the WHO’s COVID-19 response fund. Just days later, she took part in BBC’s Big Night In programme as part of a celebrity cover of the Foo Fighters’ ‘Times Like These’. The charity single has since hit Number 1 in the UK, while the Big Night In saw 6.4 million viewers and raised $45 million for Children in Need.
This announcement comes after recent single ‘Worry About Me,’ a collaboration with R&B artist blackbear, and further follows on from releases such as ‘Close To Me’ and ‘Hate Me’ as well her recent cover of Joni Mitchell’s ‘River’.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
