Ellie Goulding - 'Higher Than Heaven'


Recommended Posts

Posted

She kinda served with this album. Really solid hooks, interesting songwriting, a few bangers and overall bops after bops with catchy and good melodies.

 

To me, this is an excellent unpretentious pop album, in the same vein of records like D&D (but probably even better than that).

I’m glad that she no longer hates Delirium and acknowledges the quality of what it is. This album feels like a more refined, mature Delirium where all the songs flow nicely and have been perfectly crafted. There’s no jarring transitions like the one from On My Mind to Around U

Tastes Like You :jonny6:

why does the colour of the vinyl look so different 🙃

Because it's Eco-Mix and they're basically using whatever scraps that pressing plant had at that moment. They'll all gonna be different! 

I thought it was because it was the indie exclusive version. Anyways I kinda like this colour more than the ultra neon green tbh nnn

Cute reviews so far.

future nostalgia is a high bar for pop songs. so far this is giving me BIBO Rare Glory etc :rip: which is also where Delirium belongs

This STOMPS on anything from those albums. The production here is fresh and rich. Not some bland pop productions like those albums.

Honestly the only Bad thing about Tastes Like You is that I wish it was 1 Minute longer. My jam

Well anyways Delirium is a pop masterpiece and that is that.

 

People always overhate it just cause it's a trendy pure pop album. But who cares when the melodies are toptier.

Wow this album is a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I thought it would be another Delirium (good bops but very throwaway) but no it’s like pure pop but a bit more eccentric production-wise. 
 

My favourites are:
 

How Long - Been excited for this since the snippet and I’m not disappointed at all. Such a bop! Those out of tune guitars, such a wonky trap bop. 
Temptation - Gives me Fleetwood Mac vibes but high energy dance pop. Such a cool vibe. Really really well done. 
Tastes Like You - Absolutely massive pop anthem. Could almost fit on Delirium where it would be the best song on the album. Very Style as someone mentioned earlier in the thread. I miss songs like this. 
By the End of the Night - Easily one of her best songs. Not much more to say than that. Just amazing. 
 

I actually like every song I think, I’m really impressed with her what a nice surprise.

Am I the only one that doesn't like "Intuition"?

 

BTW, album slaps hard, I'm so happy :beatfreak:

Girl announced and delayed her album so many times I accidentally ordered the signed deluxe cd TWICE and I only found out today when I got two of them in the mail :bibliahh:

 

Happy to support my girl, tho. Got myself tickets to the tour as well :gaycat2:

 

Album is a banger. It's not next level pop perfection, but they're nice bops and it's fun. Tastes Like You and Better Man being deluxe tracks is a crime, tho! :jonnycat:

Wait @ Better Man :soda: 

 

Not this album becoming one of my fave albums of hers and I've always dragged commercial Ellie :jonny2: 

 

Definitely top 3 album. Maybe even #2 surpassing Brightest Blue for me :jonny2:

Top 5 after listening to the whole thing for the first time:

 

1. Waiting for It - POP PERFECTION

2. Midnight Dreams - POP PERFECTION X2

3. Cure for Love

4. Just For You

5. Better Man

 

Honestly, the album is SO SOLID. I like all the tracks. The productions are so fresh and fun. She really did that. :cries: 

Posted

So many people with taste, I love to see it :heart2:

Is By the End of the Night the current single?

Posted

My god, Midnight Dreams is THAT song. Push it and make a global smash. :jonny5:

Yeah you’re right, it’s because it’s indie ;p

There is no indie exclusive. As the hype sticker says, this is the eco-mix pressing that's also available on her artist store.

The album is a bop after bop until track 9! Then we have some fillers, but it's a great album! I feel she just wanted to have fun with this album and not do something very personal. Also, could someone explain to me the narrative of Midnight Dreams? what is it about? lol

From Apple Music:

 

I made this one with Koz [Stephen Kozmeniuk] - he did the track and we did the lyrics together.

It's about the dream of love and fire and passion and infatuation. It's about that all-encompassing feeling when love takes over you and you're living in this dream world".

Except We're Good isn't that bad or annoying. The same can't be said for How Grotesque

 

OT: yaaaaaay this album is out at long last - can't wait to blast it all day :party:
