Today sees global superstar Ellie Goulding release her highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Brightest Blue’.
‘Brightest Blue’ includes 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 – see the full tracklist below. 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.”
The album includes the previously released singles ‘Worry About Me’, ‘Power’, ‘Slow Grenade’ as well as 2019 hits ‘Close To Me’ and ‘Hate Me’. ‘Brightest Blue’ has also seen Ellie collaborate with some of biggest names in music including Juice WRLD, Lauv, blackbear, Diplo, Swea Lee and more.
Outside of music, Ellie is a long-standing activist and philanthropist and has long used her platform to engage young people with global issues. In November 2017 she was awarded the United Nation’s New Voices Award by the UN Foundation in recognition of her activism and became a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Environment. Goulding now works with the UN as a Global Environmental Ambassador and uses her platform to drive a number of other philanthropic ventures including being a patron of women’s shelter The Marylebone Project. At this critical time in society, Ellie campaigns at the highest level, working year-round to amplify the voices of young people in particular. She is passionate that political discussions on climate must match the ambitions of young people across the world.

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.
