Does the world really need another female solo artist? We’ve had Duffy, Adele and Laura Marling killing it for the last year or so and the inevitable second wave are now coming in to land. She’s in the same casino as her counterparts, but Ellie Goulding is playing at a different table. Luckily for everyone it’s way more interesting than another Earth Mother persona with another bloody guitar. She has already been collaborating with Frankmusik and rumour has it that the ultra mysterious Burial will be weighing in too. Why? Because singing with vocals like they’ve been weakened by God and poured across some celestial folktronic backdrop nails the first remotely unique sound for ages.
