Slow Grenade with Lauv is out. While overall I think Power is the superior song, Slow Grenade is way more instant and current sounding. I love it. Really excited for this album now.

Slow Grenade is surprisingly pretty solid It's no Power But it's good
I also just realized the album is out in two weeks, I hope I like it

I think the Side-A would be a return to the old Ellie.
And I'm probably in the minority who also doesn't hate the songs on Side-B (I jam to "Worry Aout Me" and the new "Slow Grenade" has been on repeat).
So overall I'm very much looking forward to this.

I don't hate Worry About Me, Hate Me, or Close To Me
They all just lack Ellie's personal charm and feel like trend chasers to a degree

Although the tracks on side B aren't her at her best, outside of "Slow Grenade," I haven't outright disliked anything. "Power" is awesome and "Flux" is a solid ballad. So I have higher expectations for the Side A part of the album.
It's similar to how I feel about Halcyon Days. Love the first disc, the second disc is just okay.

I don't hate anything she's put out either. The singles over the last year or so have grown on me but they're so not unique and lack any sort of personality that it's hard to want to feel invested in what comes after. Even Delirium, which I enjoyed but felt the same way about in comparison to Halcyon, feels more Ellie than most of these songs that I almost wish we were even getting that much of her in this project. I do hope side A of this new album has more to offer and if not, at least I can enjoy the songs for the faceless bops they are.

Outside of Army, Delirium was an A+ pop album and the greatest pop album of the 2010s.
The song with Lauv is arguably her worst single, but the other stuff is good, if not on the level of her last two albums.

I just got around to listening to Slow Grenade and I kinda love it. Seems to be a theme of me liking things most people do not like 😂.

I haven’t listened to any other album by Ellie but, I have liked all of the tracks she has released for this era so far, so I may just pick up a copy next Friday.

She feels the same way about Delirium as I do. Good pop album, not an Ellie Goulding album.
I didn't know much about her situation though, and was surprised to see she was in that space even before Halcyon. It also makes me wonder if Ed Sheeran's Don't would be as well received if it was released today.

“Hate Me” just re-entered Spotify’s Top 100 (mainly because of the new Juice WRLD record). Urgh. That song had such unlucky timing to blow up right after it died at radio.

I never understood the hatred for Army here. It's like some of y'all have never had friends or people who really have your back. It makes me homesick for my friends back home. Listening to it now and trying not to cry. It's been one of my favorite Ellie songs since I first heard it. The last 2 minutes gives me goosebumps.

I like Army well enough. Probably would have been better suited tied in with a movie or tv when releasing it as a single.

Those 3 snippets are very promising Also how dare she leave off Sixteen off the album
Anyways Flux and Power have my hopes up for this album, those snippets also are reassuring

Slow Grenade is the best song she released from the album (along with Flux), will it be treated as a single?

How Deep Is Your Love and whatever the first song in that trailer is sound the most promising, but I'm excited to finally have a new LP after so long.
Gave a listen to some Delirium tracks for the first time in while, and damn...
Something In The Way You Move Keep On Dancin' On My Mind Codes Holding On For Life Don't Need Nobody Don't Panic Lost And Found Devotion Scream It Out
ALL A+! All hold up! It's like an aural painting of gorgeous machinery; levity and muscularity in perfect balance.

All of these clips from Side A are sounding great. I'm getting strong Halcyon vibes from them.
Can't believe this comes out this week. I haven't gotten any shipping notices or updates from Universal, I hope they don't take forever to ship.

She needs to do interviews on talks shows to get people to know about the album. Like Kelly Clarkson's show or something.
