Ellie Goulding Premiere's "Anything Could Happen"!

Just this morning on Fearne Cotton's Radio 1 show, Ellie Goulding premiered her first official single, "Anything Could Happen" off her upcoming second studio album, Halcyon (October 9th). With the new single, Ellie also released a lyric video compiled of over 1,200 photos taken by Instagram. The new track is a pounding piece of electropop perfection and I'm already obsessed with it. It's full of a glittering drum melody and a killer hook, not to mention the Ellie's unique vocals (which thankfully include her harsher, bellowing yell, which we've only really been lucky to hear from her in live shows). Much less of a typical mainstream first release, "Anything Could Happen" is surely an indication that the upcoming album, as well as Ellie's new direction, will be utterly brilliant. I can't wait!

The full single for "Anything Could Happen" will be released Stateside and in the UK via Interscope/Cherrytree records on September 30th.

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.
