lmao Mike I've been seeing one on Youtube for a few weeks now, called "Something In The Way You Move". It reminded me a bit of Taylor Swift's "Style". The MV shows her playing drums and rocking out and she looks hot. Is that the one? It's from her previous album Delirium and was its second single, though that video was uploaded recently for some reason, as you noticed.

Looks like Ellie will be back to Halcyon for this album. From Ellie's Twitter: (1 / 2 / 3 / 4)"God Halcyon was dark 😳 But definitely my most honest moment. Gonna go back to honesty. There's no other way... It's gonna be better."

So now she is gonna slam her last album because it didn't do well, eh? We call this the Brandy Norwood Effect.

I hate it when an artist drags their old material as a "it wasn't the real me" type thing. Christina Aguilera did it with her first album and I always find it such a cop out. It's okay if it's not what you like now but it still could have been who you were or wanted to be at the time. Own up to it, admit that you've grown since then and move on. With that said, I don't take Ellie's comment as slamming her last album. I think she admitted going into it that it was a lighthearted not-so-serious poppier album than her usual so this honesty comment isn't off track with that one.

The very fact that she said she is going "back to honesty" would imply that her last album was dishonest. Not sure if there is any positive spin to put on that, really.

Explosions 2.0 please. And while she is at it, Lights 2.0 and Love Me Like You Do 2.0, too I don't want retreads. What made Halcyon so great was that she hadn't done anything like My Blood prior to it, just like what made Delirium so great were the soundscapes and rhythms she hadn't incorporated before. I have no interest in conscious attempts at covering past ground that are more likely than not going to end up in some tired beige dirge (see: Still Snoozing For You). Likewise, I never considered Lights to that great, but it's indeed a standout in part because it's rather singular in her catalog. I'm hoping for at least one unexpected collaborator on this project. Ryan Tedder and Klas Åhlund are welcome to return. Maybe Guy Lawrence/Disclosure too, depending on whether their break has helped the move past their rut.

Well I mean, the opposite of honesty is dishonesty obviously but from a writing standpoint, I think there's more in between than that. Writing "honesty" is writing personal, first-hand lyrics, but that doesn't mean writers to write songs other than that are dishonest. They're just other perspectives or more general - like fun pop music usually is. Though I guess now that I think about it, On My Mind and Army should at least both be "honest" songs that she shouldn't just dismiss so... maybe I'm just trying too hard to defend her?

She's certainly not praising Delirium when she says that, but I don't take it as a Brandy-style dis either. That would be like Kelly C saying today that her most honest album is My December - does that mean she's totally shitting on AIEW/Stronger/PxP? No, of course not. Just means MD was her rawest, most vulnerable moment. Likewise I'm thinking by 'honesty' Ellie just means Halcyon is the most revealing album she has, and probably the most emotional one in the writing process. I forget the boyfriend now, but Halcyon was her admitted breakup album; there was a sort of openness about the source of the music there that we didn't get with Lights and Delirium, that I know of (even though OMM was rather obvious she never directly addressed it being about Ed, right?). On that alone, I'd guess Halcyon was where she willingly exposed herself the most.

Okay, but when will the lead-off be released? Do we even know what it could be?

I’m really excited to hear that.. Love Me Like You Do was easily one of the best songs from 2015, and one of Ellie’s personal best, too

^ ugh no, the drums are so muted!
I love Delirium and still listen to it, which I didn't expect initially. If she's sidelining it, whatever. I still think it's underrated and didn't achieve it's potential. I think her more usual electronic sound + Max/Klas was just great. Everything sounds so crisp and I'd argue a lot of the work is superior to Max's more recent stuff for Katy/Taylor, which seemed to be reaching for a similar sound.

Listening without headphones to the iTunes preview, it sounds like there are a lot of new strings in the background
ETA: Listened in full with headphones. Yup, there are just new strings throughout the entrie song, and piano in the intro, first verse and bridge and outro (maybe the last chorus as well?). I was hoping for something a little different, it sounds like they just stuck the original song over these new instruments. I don’t think that I will ever really feel the need to re-listen to this rather than the instrumental

Really can't wait for EG4. I've heard talk of her going back to the sound she had during her debut album era and I'm completely here for that. No one else in the industry has her kind of voice, lol. I hope she doesn't take long between releasing a single/singles and dropping the full album.
