To say 2009 has been a whirlwind year for the solo singer songwriter Ellie Goulding would be a massive understatement. If this girl can accomplish this much in 3 months and create such a huge buzz without a body of work behind her then the next 12 is set to be mind blowing.
Ready, set, GO…The Brit Award winner signed to Polydor Records in September 2009, and her debut single “Under the Sheets” received its first airplay on 30th September 2009. After receiving some heavy airplay she found herself touring the UK supporting Little Boots and scored an envious spot on “Later… with Jules Holland” in October which got a great reception (Dear Jules…a year of entries has yet to see me even win tickets to the show)! Quickly following the UK digital release of her debut single “Under the Sheets” on 15th November, Goulding then went onto win the Critic’s Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards… sheesh…(and breathe)!!!
2010 is not likely to be any slower for the Brit Award winner as she keeps touring around the UK and Ireland with the brilliant Passion Pit before embarking on her own UK tour. January is definitely starting on enviably good footing as she’s been named the top choice on the BBC’s hugely coveted list of ‘Sounds of 2010’ and is set to release her debut album ‘Lights’ on March 1st. Although there is no confirmed date for Goulding’s next single “Starry Eyed”, definitely keep your eyes peeled and ears to the ground for more info and news on her website www.elliegoulding.co.uk or Myspace www.myspace.com/elliegoulding for tour dates.
For those of you who just can’t wait to see this girl get her groove on, she is due to perform TONIGHT at the Brit Award Nominations Event which will be aired on ITV2 and hosted by Fearne Cotton.
Enjoy people!!!
