I only recently discovered her and I have to admit I might be on the border of obsession here! At 23, Ellie Goulding has topped the BBC Sound of 2010 music list, and with good reason. Her voice is delicate, pure and way too high for me to sing along but I’ve had her songs on repeat all week. She is cute and quirky, girly with a refreshing sound; “a ‘folktronica’ sound which mixes a traditional acoustic approach with a more cutting-edge electronic style.”

According to Tom, she has a ‘posh’ accent, which I am obviously deaf to. She seems pretty with it though, an average girl with a not so average voice who could very well be your friend or next door neighbor. Which she obviously is, to someone anyway. But let’s stay on task here. I am in love with this girl, her songs are incredible and they will live in my iPod until it dies. And then they will live in my new iPod, and so on. Her album Lights is supposed to be coming out later on in March, and I tell you — I have not bought a CD since 2001, but this is one gem I will go to the store for. Okay! I leave you with her video for “Under the Sheets”, and below you can check out some of her other songs so that you can decide how amazing she is (or isn’t!) for yourself!
