There are few artists who can reliably deliver a
club anthem quite like Ellie Goulding. The British
singer-songwriter has racked up scores of hits over
the years, defined by big beats, infectious synths
and her signature smoky vocals. Her fifth album,
Higher Than Heaven is a collection of upbeat and
musically expansive tracks. Goulding brings an
energy and exuberance from the opening notes and
doesnÆt let go for 11 tracks.
Higher Than Heaven is a departure from GouldingÆs
previous effort, Brightest Blue, which was built on
quiet subtlety and had a more introspective feeling.
ItÆs dialed in right out of the gate with the
synth-driven and beat-forward ôMidnight Dreams,ö a
track with a slight Æ90s throwback influence mixed
in.
ôAll I think about/ YouÆre my energy/ Feel you all
around/ Electricity,ö Goulding sings with a chorus
of harmonies as it reaches its crescendo.
ôCure For Loveö opens with sparse and dark piano
melody before giving way to an upbeat bass-driven
backing track. This song evokes an infectiousness
akin to Dua LipaÆs ôLevitating,ö especially when the
soaring chorus kicks in. ôThe End of the Nightö
musically calls back to GouldingÆs darker Halcyon
material, crossing darker melodies with big synthy
beats.
While not a collaboration, ôLike a Saviourö brings a
synth-fueled energy akin to that of GouldingÆs work
with Calvin Harris. The magnificent track is carried
by a percussive groove buoyed by a flute-like sample
that gives it a throwback personality. GouldingÆs
singing and dialed-in arrangement make for one of
the best songs on the album.
ôSpinning in your starlight/ You got the power to
ease my mind/ YouÆre leading me out of the dark/
Like a saviour shining in my soul,ö Goulding sings
on the uplifting chorus.
ôLove Goes Onö is more subdued. While the BPMs stay
up, GouldingÆs vocal delivery is more intricate and
somber, especially in the wordy cadence of the
verses. Later on the album, the bass-heavy ôJust 4
Youö fits the same sort of mold. ItÆs another song
that feels closer to a mid-tempo pop ballad despite
its pulsing upbeat rhythms.
GouldingÆs hip-hop collaborations have become
something of a signature. SheÆs worked with the
likes of the late Juice WRLD, Swae Lee and
blackbear. ôEasy Lover,ö a duet with rapper Big
Sean, dials in everything Ellie Goulding does well:
soaring vocals, memorable synth melodies and an
anthemic feeling. Big Sean delivers a strong
laidback verse midway through the song.
The title track keeps the energy surging, with an
Æ80s-influenced, bass-heavy instrumental. Goulding
reaches up to the high notes on the chorus,
showcasing her versatility and range. The anthemic
ôLet It Dieö may be the most direct connection to
GouldingÆs Halcyon-era material. It opens with a
darkly melodic synth before exploding into a pulsing
groove in the chorus. Goulding is at her best when
she can fuse dark and moody sounds into a dynamic
pop track.
ôWhen did you lose the light behind your eyes?/ Tell
me why when thereÆs no more tears to cry/ And youÆre
holdinÆ onto love for life/ I think itÆs time to let
it die,ö she sings on the chorus.
ôWaiting For Itö is a departure from the rest of the
album, inspired not by club pop but by mid-tempo
funk and R&B. The song has a much more subdued
feeling, and feels like a holdover from Brightest
Blue.
The record closes with ôHow Long,ö an atmospheric
and ethereal pop track filled with choppy beats and
vibrant synths. The song reaches its crescendo
before quickly fading away.
