Sad-nice text, but when it is sung by Ellie Goulding in enchanting chorus of "Joy", lets you go all melancholy. The song is one of the many small miracles on this album, starting with a pleasantly subdued, down kullernden piano theme and a rainy verse, which opens suddenly, pushed by the onset Geiger Geschrubbe, in a disarmingly beautiful, liberating chorus. I want to shout these lines, this melody with arms outstretched in a cloudless summer sky - if you would because Ellie's voice.
The album is full of original songs, some heavy electro-heavy, but never clumsy. The most beautiful song is naturally "My Blood", or perhaps "explosion", but actually "In My City", if, yes if there "Dead in the Water" would not that actually only of "Atlantis" in the shadows is provided. And of course, "Joy". Really nice electric boards are "I Need Your Love", "Hanging on", "Anything could happen" to the hypnotic sample of Ellie's head voice, and "Only You", where the hitherto cheerful then stomping chorus in the last third suddenly from a completely turned Mickey Mouse sample is swept away. Oh, and who still believes that Ellie Goulding is not only one of the most interesting, but also a very cool artist, should look as in the short film "Paper Planes & Playground Games" (found on the Deluxe Edition) dancing backstage to Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends". I'm Seeing Stars ...
