May 25, 2021Ellie's 2020 LP is a very mixed bag. There are some GREAT pop cuts on this record, but the others are ruined by awful production and vocals. The features are also surprisingly good.
FAV TRACK: Worry About Me
LEAST FAV TRACK: Wine Drunk -

Jul 20, 2020The first 2 tracks made the perception that Ellie Goulding has grown in musicality. It marks Ellie's effort to break through the constant sad-sad heartbreak song structures with fatiguing choruses that demented her on her delirium. But then comes the disaster upon the majority of the rest, especially the second half on the side A. Its side B is just feed for livestock of the mainstream industry.

Jul 18, 2020Definitivamente le falta algo a Ellie. Reacio a los discos en los que tres o cuatro canciones son perfectas para la radio, pero el disco no sabes por dónde cogerlo. Por desgracia, por el potencial que posee, este es uno de esos discos.

Jul 17, 2020i saw the high metascore and i really thought i’d like this... but unfortunately “brightest blue” is such an disappointment. there’s nothing much about it, no inventiveness, it all sounds similar to previous efforts by other artists... but still provided some bops, such as power, how deep is too deep, new heights, bleach and flux.

Jul 23, 2020Brightest Blue's main disc is Goulding's deepest emotional journey yet, a triumph of empowerment and self-discovery.

Jul 22, 2020While Blue is thoughtful and beautiful, it’s a drag to sit through. The interludes have more personality than the full-length songs.

Jul 21, 2020For the most part, she doesn’t have the chops or soul of contemporaries like Florence Welch, who sings of similar subject matter with a real torch, and who shares a collaborator in Joseph Kearns, who produced almost every song on Brightest Blue. At Kearns’s behest, the album takes a relatively new tack for Goulding, trading the garish for the palatable, but it’s no less grating as a result.
