I remember just a few weeks ago commenting on how anonymous some of the singles before the album seemingly were - "Hate Me", "Close To Me", etc. Now, within the context of the album, I can actually see exactly where and how they work.
"Start" and "Power" are two of my favorites on this record, but as I continue listening, I find more that I truly love about it. This is a solid effort from Ellie, and I'm happy about it!

I just want to say that this remains one of my favorite albums of the year. I know it didn't do very well commercially here in America but I love it. I hope her next album is released sooner rather than later so there's not another long break like in-between Delirium and Brightest Blue.

I'm guessing it went gold based on the strength of Close To Me and, to a lesser extent, Hate Me? Well, yeah, the album continued to grow on me and now I love it all. She is such a special talent.

I forgot she dropped an album this year. "Flux" remains one of her best songs ever though.

Flux is actually one of the few songs I don't love on the album. There is no movement; it kinda just sits there. I like the lyrics though.

This has moved up to be my favourite release from her. As a whole, and I can’t believe I’m saying this - it’s overtaken Halcyon. There’s some highs on Halcyon that this never hits, but this a really strong body of work. I actually don’t think there is a bad song (on side A...).

Not Ellie's fault but it is definitely way too easy to get a Gold cert these days when even this project can do it. It literally made zero noise in the US. One of the most mishandled eras in rceent memory.

Listening to this right now. I've never heard her first two albums, i heard they are not as Pop sounding as her recent material.

She released an EP consisting of the "meditation" remixes to some of the Brightest Blue tracks. Interesting strategy and it does match the mood of the project...
