Ellie Goulding's Album Teaser Is Everything

My idol and all-time favorite songstress ever Ellie Goulding has released a brief snippet sampler of her upcoming second studio album Halcyon! The sampler is amazing and I'm currently obsessed to no avail. Starting with a snippet of "Anything Could Happen (out next week!!)" it moves in to a stomping, sassy track with a beat-boxing Ellie. LOVE. Followed by a whimsical, downtempo number reminiscent of "Under The Sheets" and moves in to "It's Gonna Be Better," which is great. Moving through another stunning downtempo number, the sampler reaches a massive final track that I DIED to the first listen. I seriously CANNOT wait for this album. Check. It. Out.

If anyone was worried about following Lights, the girl has done it. I'm loving this new change in direction!

Halcyon will be released through Interscope/Cherrytree of October 9th.
