Jul 18, 2020Sinceramente el mejor álbum de Ellie, valió la pena esperar 5 años, es tan porfundo el album
-
Jul 17, 2020Her best album since halcyon. A masterpiece. Brightest blue takes a soulful and harmonious approach to self discovery.
-
Jul 17, 2020Ha sido su mejor álbum ! Brightest Blue es increíble y ha sido muy ingeniosa la forma en que te hace llevar de esos ecos de voz tan increíbles en el primer disco, y en el segundo otra parte diferente pero muy acertada. Con este álbum ella merece muchas nominación y premios en los Grammys!

Aug 28, 2020Just art. Masterpiece of the year... The bops and the slow songs... everything seems perfect. Congrats to Ellie on her best project till date.
-
Nov 25, 2021Another amazing album by Ellie Goulding, her vocals never disappoints and the lyrics are great too
-
Jul 17, 2020Ellie after a long time is back to her roots with this beautiful mix of her first 3 albums.
-
Jul 17, 2020Incredible album!! Personal faves are Love I’m Given, Start and Power! Wish it was a little bit longer though
-
Jul 17, 2020
-
Jul 17, 2020A full journey into a relatable state of mind that comes after a breakup. Anger, sadness, resignation, self-esteem and happiness are some of the feelings that Goulding portraits in her newest album. A complete reflection of Goulding's evolution as a person and as a musician.
-
Jul 17, 2020If you've heard her previous works, you can realize how much her writing has evolve. Brightest Blue contains lyrics more mature and honest. Favorites so far include Start, How Deep Is Too Deep, Flux & title track Brightest Blue.
-
Jul 17, 2020Ellie Goulding's new album is perfectly suited to today's music, without being so pretentious. It’s the perfect syncretism between the essence of Goulding, current pop, some hip hop influences and electronic music. It’s perfect.
-
Jul 17, 2020Goulding returned with strong and sincere lyrics. Their sounds all match the album. The blue concept tries to tell us how wonderful it is to express your frustrations in music.
-
Jul 17, 2020Worth the wait! Absolutely iconic. Possibly bested “Delirium”. How deep is too deep and New Heights are legendary.
-
Jul 17, 2020El álbum es genial, me encanto demasiado... Ellie Goulding es mi cantante favorita...
-
Jul 17, 2020I'm surprised how much I like this album, after Delirium I didn't expect this album to be that good, but it is, Ellie has given us art and I love it, I can't stop listening to it.
-
Jul 17, 2020Clearly this is an album that contemplates Ellie's essence as a singer / songwriter. The first part of the album connects us to Ellie that we know in Lights, Halcyon. Ellie presented the world with a sonority that mixes the symphony of an orchestra, electronic footprints and its angelic voice. Definitely Brigthest blue will be a timeless album.
-
Jul 17, 2020
-
Jul 17, 2020Magnificent!.
Practically this is Ellie's most perfectly elaborated work to date, the sound is so pure, a jewel that everybody should give a listen to, and in my personal opinion the best album released this year so far. -
Jul 17, 2020The first half of the album is as solid as it comes. Start, Woman, How Deep Is Too Deep and Power are the highlights of the albums
-
Jul 17, 2020
-
Jul 17, 2020This album is amazing.I loved every song of it.The lyricism,the instrumentals.It really is a work if art.
-
Jul 17, 2020Beautiful album from top to bottom. Well produced, excellent vocals and incredibly written. “Love i’m given” is an instant hit and songs including “Flux” and “New heights” are classic Goulding. A truly special album.
-
Jul 17, 2020Not gonna lie, I was afraid of being disappointed after Delirium, but this is the masterpiece we needed after all. It reminds me of Halcyon in some aspects, but here we can also see that Ellie has evolved as an artist. Brightest Blue just shows how she gathered everything she experimented in music during these past years and made it something original.
-
Jul 17, 2020An absolute banger One of the best albums of the year A true masterpiece that everyone should listen to it
-
Jul 17, 2020She is back after 5 years with Halcyon vibes again. Brightest Blue is the best album of her.
-
Jul 17, 2020As promised, Ellie showed her most mature side and served us one of the best albums of the year.
-
Jul 17, 2020Ellie Goulding delivered one of her best work, probably the best. She deserves a Grammy for Brightest Blue. The lyrics of each song are so personal and touching. Love I'm Given is one of the best tracks she ever made.
-
Jul 17, 2020This album is amazing, really! I couldn't skip any song, a real masterpiece. it'll be a Grammy nominated for sure
"woman" is such a powerful song with a lot of meanings! I guess she could pass all the feelings that she was feeling. I love it
#BrightestBlue -
Jul 17, 2020AN ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH. Brightest Blue thrills from start to finish. What overall shines through is Ellie's maturity in her singing and her lyrics.
The only minor setback worth mentioning is the lack of transitions with the inclusion of three interludes (however 'Cyan' serving more as a quasi-extension to 'How Deep Is Too Deep') -
Jul 17, 2020so good so mature so honest so growth so masterpiece so aoty so bang so beautiful
-
Jul 17, 2020i didn’t know she could beat herself but brightest blue is even better than halcyon
-
Jul 17, 2020O álbum tá muito perfeito,a estética,os instrumentais,tudo tá lindo ellie eu amei
-
Jul 17, 2020might we found the AOTY after all! It's a completely Masterpiece, she's so brilliant and smart for doing this beautiful album. Ellie serving as always.
-
Jul 17, 2020Is her best album. Brightest blue is a complete body of a masterpiece, she is brutally honest and confident to speak her feeling.
-
Jul 17, 2020Grato em ver e ouvir Ellie apostando mais em seu potencial de uma forma mais pura.
-
Jul 17, 2020This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
-
Jul 17, 2020Ellie’s songwriting is at her best on “Brightest Blue”, she delivers an emotional album following her rough marriage as she sings about the pain she went through and her feelings before, after and during. Possibly her best work yet she delivers ballads and bops to switch it up and show that she’s still got the dance music with her.
-
Jul 17, 2020I just fell in love with the album. Her voice is so delicate and powerful at the same time and lyrics are so deep. She deserves much more recognition.
-
Jul 17, 2020Ellie Goulding released her new album with an air of nostalgia for each track you remember a lot of your halcyon origins is like having Ellie from the old days of halcyon, with Ellie from Brightest Blue and becoming one, besides making you all reflecting with the slowest tracks and at the same time makes you want to dance with the most danceable, this is really amazing and unique.

Aug 28, 2020Thank you Ellie for this really good album. The sound is great, the tracks flow away like water and they got their own identity both with the other album tracks and taken alone. Power, Love I'm Given and title track are outstanding. Maybe the lyrics are a little too basic, but production and voice are really good. I love it.
-
Aug 3, 2020Ellie realmente mostrou, na qual me fez lembrar a cantora Jonna Lee no projeto 'iamamiwhoami', faixas bem trabalhadas, ellie no seu ápice de criatividade, destaque para as faixas 'Hate Me' 'Close To Me' e 'Wine Drunk' realmente impressionante como ela nos trouxe um lado diferente do que estamos acostumados na rádio, algo mais experimental e desafiador.
-
Jul 19, 2020Such an incredible album, it contains powerful lyrics, this album is not for radios, this album is bigger than that, and we need more albums, more songs like from this album, not commercial songs, we need REAL songs, congrats to Ellie for such an excellent job on her songwriting and her voice.
-
Jul 18, 2020incredible, emotional, fun
One of her best to date!
My favorite tracks are Woman, Tides, Brightest Blue, Love I'm Given and How Deep is Too Deep -
Aug 1, 2020aoty, aoty, aoty best album ever in the world i lov her new music so much, is the queen of alternapop
-
Jul 17, 2020An absolute immaculate masterpiece through and through. I personally loved 2015's Delirium and Brightest Blue did not disappoint. It was 5 years in the making but you can hear the vocal progression and also improved lyricism. Best tracks are Power, Love I'm Given and Brightest Blue.
-
Jul 26, 2020
-
Jul 20, 2020Best project of hers. just beautiful lyrically. production... everything just perfect. masterpiece...
-
Jul 18, 2020Fácil o melhor álbum dela. As letras com extrema profundidade e os vocais dela melhores que nunca dão um up numa sonoridade que a gente já conhecida vinda dela, mas que ao mesmo inova em alguns pontos, que só acrescente positivamente a obra!
Eu estou indignado que as músicas mais pessoais e com as letras mais poderosas da carreira Flux e Power foram tão mal nos charts -
Jul 19, 2020Revival of Ellie Goulding! So amazed to see the authentic side of Ellie again! The album's title track Brightest Blue, Love I'm Given, Tides, Worry bout me are my favorites!
-
Jul 19, 2020Ellie's fourth album "Brightest Blue" is the most honest and raw album to date. It is sonically cohesive and pleasing to the ears. In her own words this album is "Blue Evolution" which is all about revival, independence and letting go of toxic past gracefully.
-
Jul 21, 2020
-
Aug 31, 2020Brilliant album it has a very outstanding production and every single song sounds so unique and Ellie's vocals are on point
-
Jul 17, 2020This album is painted with just pure perfection. Ellie served everything that her fans asked. 100/100 this album. The only mistake is that Ode To Myself is so short!!
-
Jul 24, 2020El álbum más maduro y mejor elaborado de esta cantante, con joyas como woman, how deep is too deep, pero canciones un poco repetitivas en la parte pop. 73/100.
-
Jul 20, 2020
-
Jul 18, 2020El nuevo álbum de Ellie demuestra un sonido totalmente diferente y maduro. Se aleja un poco de la música genérica comercial, pero eso le suma aún más puntos. Una delicia para el oído de principio a fin.
-
Sep 23, 2020It is really hard to enjoy at the first listen, but with 2 or more it turns into an awesome experience!
The first part of the album is more personal and ''alternative'' than the second one, which makes the album more interesting and fun to listen to. My favorite songs are: ''Close to Me'', ''Tides'' and ''How Deep is Too Deep''. -
Jul 17, 2020Best album of the years, she is the most iconic person in uk, im so proud to be her fan, she is the #1,
-
Jul 17, 2020El concepto, las canciones, los interludios, los colores, las letras, TODO ES PERFECTO EN ESTE ÁLBUM, probablemente el mejor de Ellie musicalmente hablando. La espera valió tanto la pena.
-
Jul 17, 2020Album perfeito. Todas as músicas se encaixam perfeitamente com cada sentimento. Ellie não decepcionou seus fãs, e mostrou que os 5 anos valeram muito a pena.

-
Jul 18, 2020Ellie Goulding’s artistry is to be envied. ‘Brightest Blue’ is her absolute strongest effort and is possibly one of the best albums of the year. The consistency of production and message is matched by few if any of her peers.
-
Jul 18, 2020All the sons are amazing and Ellie shows all her sides while she sings about love, lost, beginnings and endings. This is a very personal album with powerful songs and lyrics.
-
Jul 18, 2020This new Ellie Goulding album its great because it’s so personal and the beats and melodies are perfect
-
Jul 19, 2020This is a classical pop masterpiece! Loved every sound of the album its number one in my book and should receive its Grammy immediately!
-
Jul 19, 2020A return to form, the synths are incredible and more similar to her earlier work, with comparisons to "Halcyon" but in its own right, "Brightest Blue" stands on its own as a masterpiece.
-
Jul 19, 2020Su mejor disco hasta el momento, se nota la madurez en sus letras y sonidos Una canción para cada momento
-
Jul 20, 2020Her best album. I'm in love. THIS IS THE BLUE EVOLUTION. I'm grateful with Ellie for this masterpiece.

Jul 20, 2020Ellie Goulding nos deu mais que um album, trouxe uma experiência refrescante entre Halcyon e Delirium. É um album com letras maduras e batida envolvente, que nos faz repensar em nossos erros e tristezas e melhorá-las. É um album delicioso de se ouvir.
-
Jul 21, 2020Ellie is back and better than ever. Each song is a chapter in her life that is told via her beautiful vocals that hypnotise you all the way through this wonderfully crafted album

Aug 11, 2020Melhor álbum da ellie goulding, amei todas as músicas. Ellie te um dom de trazer qualidade, e merece ser divulgada como uma rainha.
-
Aug 28, 2020Maturity. This whole album offers so much variety. Ellie is at her most vulnerable with tracks like Woman and Flux. But somehow she managed to add some positivity and optimism track like the title track, Brightest Blue. Double sided album doesn't really work that well, but this one does; and it's beautiful. My fav work that Ellie has ever put out so far! Cheers to her best album yet!

-
Nov 2, 2020This album is an amazing work of art that really portrays the powerful talent that Ellie Goulding harnesses in song writing. The instrumentals magically match the lyrics being sung and it creates a very emotional experience that every listener can relate to. Anyone who says otherwise about this album is on crack.
-

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
