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.

Oct 9, 2012This is a crafted and adventurous piece of work from such a young musician. She has clearly invested a lot of time into this and has built upon what was good about her previous record. It's an album that screams for your attention and from the first to the last song, it maintains it.

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.

Apr 19, 2013Never before have so feel such emotions. Turn the Halcyon and feel it. Very emotional album. Each song is like a piece of a broken heart but it is a very pleasant feeling when you are finished listening and your heart is fixed. I love this album and Ellie's voice like an angel. My favorite songs are My Blood, Anything Could Happen, Figure 8 and I Need Your Love.

May 14, 2014Ellie Goulding is a massive talent, but people haven't seen it yet. 4 years since her debut and already Hollywood aimed for her. Halcyon is the best album in this overloaded era of music. This is so weird, so nice, so full of sentiments... Her voice is fully naked and this means to be a great singer, although her lives sound almost with the studio. Go Ellie! I can't wait to see you highly!

Jul 18, 2014This is definitely one of the most beautiful pop record of the 2010s: Ellie's vocals are here at their best, whereas the songs are always intense and well-crafted.

Nov 13, 2015I THIND HALCYON WAS THE BEST ALBUM THAT ELLIE GOULDING HAVE EVER RECORDED. IM WRITTING THAT AT 13/11/2015 AND DELIRIUM IS OUT. I HAVE HEARD THE WHOLE ALBUM AND I STILL BELIVE THAT HALCYON IS BETTER. HALCYON WAS SPECIAL DELIRIUM IS JUST MAINSTREAM MUSIC. BY THE WAY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ELLIE AND I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!
-
Feb 19, 2016One of the best albums I have ever heard. All the songs are catchy, but in a good way, not like Uptown Funk. Much much better than Taylor Swift. Should be a Grammy winner! 10/10!

Oct 9, 2012A very likable album. Ellie is one of the better singers out there at the moment, and the music her beautiful vocals are set to unique instrumental backgrounds, some a lot different from previous album Lights. It's pop flirting with electronic music, and at that, it does a very good job.

Nov 7, 2012Her Voice Is Amazing! Very Creative Lyrics! Do I Smell A Grammy Nomination?
