In November, she released her rendition of Joni Mitchell's Christmas song " River", which topped the UK Singles Chart, becoming her third UK number-one single and the last UK number one song of the 2010s. In July 2019, Goulding stated that her next material to be released would be the songs "Woman I Am" and "Start". "Flux" was released on 1 March of the same year. She told The Guardian in early 2019, "It's very much written by me." She further discussed three new songs: " Flux", "Love I'm Given" and "Electricity". On 24 October 2018, she released " Close to Me" with Diplo and Swae Lee. That same month, Goulding released a collaboration with Kygo entitled " First Time". In April of the same year, producer BloodPop revealed on social media he was in the studio with Goulding. In January 2017, Goulding announced that work on new music had begun. To promote the album, Goulding was set to embark on the Brightest Blue Tour on 28 April 2021, however this was pushed back to 5 October 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions in the UK. Brightest Blue received generally positive reviews from music critics and debuted at number one in the UK, number two in Scotland, and in the top ten in several other countries. It is Goulding's first album since Delirium (2015). The album was preceded by three singles: " Worry About Me", " Power" and " Slow Grenade", and features guest vocals from Blackbear, Diplo, Juice Wrld, Lauv, serpentwithfeet and Swae Lee. Originally scheduled for 5 June 2020, the album's release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was released on 17 July 2020 through Polydor Records. That never works.Brightest Blue is the fourth studio album by English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding.

“When I first heard Juice Wrld, I was like, ‘Damn, I need to do something with this kid,’” she says of the rapper, who appears on her gold single “Hate Me,” which had a chart resurgence after trending on TikTok. She’s stayed on top of the game by staying on top of new music and seeking out promising collaborators. It was a nice, pleasant surprise that it ended up doing so well it was not really intended.”ĭespite her knack for stumbling onto hits, Goulding’s longevity has been no accident. “And then I jokingly sang this chorus thing - ’I don’t want to be somebody without your body close to me.’ It’s really simple, but it worked.
“We were coming up with lyrics, and we kind of hit a wall,” Goulding says. “Close to Me,” a collaboration with Diplo and Swae Lee, also came about during a brainstorming session with frequent collaborator Savan Kotecha. I was like, ‘I’m really sorry - nothing quite works for me,’ and he was like, ‘OK, well, there’s this one other thing, but it’s weird.’ Then he played me, and I was like, ‘That’s it. “Then I remember everything he played to me just didn’t resonate. “When I was a kid, I idolized Spice Girls, and so the idea of writing with the mastermind behind them was massive,” she says.
And in true Goulding anything-could-happen fashion, “Lights” came about in a most unpredictable way, at the end of a nearly fruitless creative session with Spice Girls producer and songwriter Richard Stannard. hits that have continued through the decade, including the “Fifty Shades of Grey” smash “Love Me Like You Do,” her Calvin Harris collaborations “I Need Your Love” and “Outside,” and her latest can’t-escape-it single “Close to Me.” That’s about five times the lifespan of many pop stars. 49 in the U.K., it started a string of U.S.
