Sep 5, 2016This is an odd album to review. It is so different in sound and vibe from her previous album though still seems quite familiar. The downside is the money grabbing re-issue (Halcyon Days). Download: Figure 8, Anything Can Happen, Explosions.

Nov 25, 2022Love it or hate it Halcyon is one of the albums that changed the style of making music, we are facing that music that was part of the sad and tumblr era.

Nov 22, 2021The best part of the Divergent movie, Ellie Goulding is brilliant here with both her voice and lyrics

Dec 17, 2014Ellie ha definido su música gracias a su divertido y cómodo estilo de canto, siendo sincero, su delicadeza a la hora de cantar, pero así mismo su dureza a la hora de expresarse, me ha encantado.

Nov 23, 2012Great sophomore album from Ellie Goulding, who is another talented singer coming from UK. She has a great voice and her album has this weird 'electropop' vibe. The version that I bought has the single 'Lights' in it, one of her best singles.

Nov 17, 2012Intense, dark and emotional, Halcyon shows less of Ellie's folk side and instead focuses on heavy beats and dark lyrics. However, there's still elements of Ellie that appeared on Lights; specifically the synths. Stand out track: Figure 8.

May 10, 2014I love this album. She has a unique voice and the music is awesome. I really love lots of the songs, everyone is very unique but they all stray in the same sound. I really like her music, but it does seem like Ellie Goulding is a bit of a jerk in real life. Whatever, her music is still great.

Oct 10, 2012This album captured my soul right on the first listen. Never before have I experienced so many emotions, from despair and sadness to hope. This album deserves the same success, if not more, than what Adele's 21 has achieved.

May 20, 2013Canciones excelentes y un ritmo conmovedor y a la vez impactante, ahora muestra mas tenacidad a la hora de interpretar y de escribir. Ellie Goulding la mejor en el DREAM POP.
