Ellie Goulding - 'Higher Than Heaven'


Recommended Posts

I was thinking how it still feels kind of odd for someone like Ellie to even jokingly call a new album her "least personal yet" and while I enjoy the record lots and I know it doesn't try to be something it's not, it does feel like a contract-fulfilling collection of songs and nothing more. So I went to dig some stuff and as a fun fact, these are the dates when each of the songs were originally recorded, more or less :bird: Most of them barely changed since that time as well

So basically the reason why this is her least personal is because it’s basically a unreleased collection/b-sides and rarities project released as an album :skull:

Beside my fave Gaga, Ellie is one of few artists I listened their album in full.

Temptation really sounds like it could be a Years & Years song :jamming:

I was getting Kylie circa Fever and Body Language. But this is a fitting comparison as well. :jamming:

I still think the album is very cohesive though 🤷🏻‍♂️

It totally is. She did a really good job in this respect - at the same time, anyone saying the tracks blend together needs to listen a few more times lol

My vinyl probably hasnt moved because they emailed Thursday but it's easter weekend :deadbanana4:

I haven’t received mine either which is weird. I’m expecting it this week hopefully!

Is it just me or does Tastes Like You sound like it samples Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly?

Oh no I definitely wouldn’t say they blend, but there’s no jarring transition either. It’s a nice collection of catchy songs

I’m pretty sure it does right? Like, it’s REALLY noticeable how similar those OH’S are to Kelly :rip:  but my only question then would be why :deadbanana:

Not jarring, but they're all definitely different enough to tell apart lol

I don’t think the album will do too good. Brightest blue debuted at #29 and spent what two weeks? I am betting this one may crack the top 50 if it’s lucky. Then again, Ava didnt debut much lower than brightest blue. So, it may do better than expected. But it won’t last long. No hit singles or hype this time. Last time she had close to me and hate me. Plus worry about me made the pop chart.

I just figured it was actually a sample but there's nothing in the credits and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere :rip: But it's extremely similar

She mentions it in the Apple Music track-by-track:

Quote

“Tastes Like You”
“This is probably going slightly back to old Ellie, as a few fans who’ve heard it have said. I feel like ‘Heartache still tastes like you’ is a great lyric. Someone said it sounds like I sampled Nelly with the ‘Oh!’, but that wasn’t intentional, I promise.”
