Ellie Goulding ‎– Higher Than Heaven CD

Higher Than Heaven finds Ellie Goulding fully embracing sleek, polished dance-pop, delivering an album designed around euphoric synths, electronic beats, infectious hooks and glossy production. Compared with the more introspective and experimental qualities of some of her earlier work, this record is notably more immediate and focused on the energy of modern pop and electronic music. Although Higher Than Heaven is lighter in tone than some of Goulding’s previous releases, its strength lies precisely in that simplicity: slick, catchy and unapologetically pop, with enough electronic sophistication to keep it connected to the dance music world.
