Ellie Goulding reveals debut album details - exclusive

Ellie Goulding has revealed exclusively to NME.COM that her debut album will be named 'Lights' and will be released on March 1.

The album from the hotly-tipped singer/songwriter will be preceded by a single, 'Starry Eyed', on February 22.

As well as the single other songs set for the album include 'Under The Sheets', 'Wish I Stayed', 'Guns And Horses', 'Starry Eyed', 'The Writer' and 'Every Time You Go'.

"I spent the majority of my time recording this album in my producer Starsmith's bedroom in Bromley," Goulding explaned. "It is made up of songs that all started on a guitar over a period of about two years. A number of the songs vent romantic victories and failures.

She added: "One of the first songs I ever wrote, 'Wish I Stayed', is there, a song about leaving the countryside, which still pains me. The acceptance of living in London and attaining peace of mind led to tracks like 'Starry Eyed', because I could finally write something more fun."

NME.

I love the Jakwob dubstep remix of "Under the Sheets" but can't get into the original.

I agree. I do prefer Marina to Ellie, but I do really like both.

"The End" and "The Writer" are both fantastic, and I'm also loving "Fighter Plane."

While it's not as good as the original, I really enjoy her remix of "Sleepyhead" with Passion Pit.

1. Guns and Horses
2. Starry Eyed
3. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)
4. Under The Sheets
5. The Writer

I remember that I discovered her almost 1 year ago thanks to the "Black And Gold" cover.

This sounds so f**king brilliant. I kinda want an acoustic version of this album, too. Frankmusik style.

I really prefer "Under the Sheets" to the new single.

[backintime]

Same, and I found that one underwhelming.

"Under The Sheets" is the best thing she's released thus far, but this album is gonna have a LOT of jams.

Goulding: 'Little Boots was overexposed'

Ellie Goulding has claimed that she avoided being overexposed after winning the Brits Critice' Choice prize and coming top of the BBC Sound of 2010 poll.

The 'Starry Eyed' singer admitted that she has attracted less press interest since getting the BBC prize than last year's winner Little Boots.

"She was thrown into the media spotlight massively after she won the prize and I haven't been," she told DS.

"I've not done that many interviews and photoshoots, which is really important to me. I haven't been shoved down people's throats and I wouldn't want anyone to get annoyed with me before they've even heard my record."

The 23-year-old, who supported Little Boots on her tour last year, claimed that the public are quick to criticise new and struggling artists.

"The nature of how we are as human beings is that we're much more interested in being critical rather than praising something. When you take that on board, you just don't let things get to you. There's always going to be people who want to s**t on you."

Goulding releases new single 'Starry Eyed' on February 22. Her album Lights follows on March 1.

Little Boots overexposed, really???

Ellie was in the Live Lounge today where she did the single and a cover of the Temper Trap.

This album is seriously incredible. SUCH tunes. And the lyrics are insane.

She and Marina have provided the pop world with two STELLAR records.

The next single is "Guns & Horses". I really wanted "Under The Sheets", it's so catchy.
