Is it only me who feels that Human should be a single? I just hear smash potential in it.
But I'm guessing Lights is the final single :(

At this point, I would be excited if they released anything else from the album in the states. It gets me so excited just thinking about it.
However, I do think that "Human" is my favorite song of hers. Thinking about the lyrics as you're listening to it is just haunting. It made an impact on me. "I would give my life to be human" is just so clever with the verbal irony!

I just got Bright Lights in the mail, and it's so good! It made me mad that I couldn't buy "Human," "Wish I Stayed," or any of the other songs that weren't on the American release of Lights, though. They could have at least released Bright Lights in the States as well.

You can buy Human though via Amazon I believe.
I got Wish I Stayed and I'll Hold My Breath from the UK version of Lights my UK friend sent me.

There's also "I Believe" and "Home" off the top of my head, the latter of which is my favorite.

Ellie posted this on her Facebook, saying "Here's the beginning of my new journey. Enjoy and share responsibly." To me, that's basically a guarantee that the new album is coming soon! Here's "Hanging On (ft. Tinie Tempah)," a cover of the Active Child song. soundcloud.com/elliegoulding/hanging-on-ft-tinie-tempahEdit: You can download the song here. There were so many people who flocked to download it that the page crashed, so wait a while before you try to download it.

I'm kinda glad she's moving on to a new era. I hope they go ahead and release her next album here not long after it is released internationally.
I've never really been able to get into Lights the album, other than 'Lights' and 'Your Biggest Mistake'. But i am really curious to hear what else she can offer.

Have you heard "Human," "Wish I Stayed," or "Home" off of the Bright Lights EP? I think those, on top of "Your Biggest Mistake" are her best songs. Oh, and the link to download "Hanging On" is back up!

I get The Weeknd vibes from her on this song. I hope that's not how the rest of the album sounds.

She just continues to amaze me. :) Regarding that cover btw, a lot of people hating on Tinie Tempah. I do feel that it would of been better without him, his rap kind of ruins the mood that was set by Ellie (Magical & Beautiful) he changes it to agression and hate. Feels like that to me anyways.

I don't see her necessarily moving in that direction. I always got the vibe that she was doing these covers for the fun of it because she loves the songs.

I was just assuming it would be the sound she was going for considering the people that has been mentioned working with her. But you never know she might surprise us with something entirely different. On another note. @elliegoulding - Aaaaaah RT @playingonbbcr1 ► Hanging On (feat. @tinietempah) by @elliegoulding playing on @bbcr1 RT @playingonbbcr1 Lol it's not even a single and they're playing it. They're hungry for some new music from her it seems. @calvinharris - There is one on my album! RT @darrellsuxx why have @calvinharris and @elliegoulding never released a song? Hope he's doing something for her album as well :)

Ellie and Calvin Harris would be magic. Her voice over his beats would put me in a trance.

Don't really get the love for "Lights" tbh, but "Hangin' On" is incredible. Need a version without Tinie Tempah immediately.

I just recently got into her Lights / Bright Lights album, it really is great. My favorite track is "This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)"...
I do believe though that the album need to be experienced in its Bright Lights form, as it adds quite much to it. Really one of the better debuts of the past years and I'd say one of the better pop albums of the past years aswell.
I really like this cover aswell, I hope we get it on the new album MINUS Tinie.

I agree. I also don't think she should do any rapper collaborations at all. I just don't think that her voice meshes that well with rap. Whereas her voice is ethereal and otherworldly, rappers have solid voices that are like concrete. They're THERE like stone and cannot be moved. I understand that they're trying to do something different by blending two voices that are opposites, but I don't think it works. Honestly, I don't know if anyone's voice, even a non-rapper's, would mesh that spectacularly with Ellie's.

I can understand that it's an odd combination, but I think there are some instances where that could work. I used to love this one song called "Prince Igor" that had rapper Warren G and opera singer Sissel on it. He raps and she sings the chorus. It also incorporates a classical sample. It's so unusual, but I thought it just all came together so well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfSRcWc2JAU&feature=relatedI would consider "Airplanes" www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU and "Castle Walls" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0dF6TvkcvU fitting that description too.

Are we just turning this into the thread for the new album era too, judging by the title?
