Album review: Ellie Goulding
ELLIE GOULDING Lights * * Polydor 2732799,£13.99
Ellie Goulding is a rather slight talent to have the BBC's Sound Of 2010 award sitting on one shoulder and the Brit Awards 2010 Critics' Choice on the other.
Her breezy folktronica is pleasant enough, with Starry Eyed and Under The Sheets the brightest of a bubbly bunch.
With the possible exception of Salt Skin it is all alarmingly insubstantial, however, with little of real interest to the post-pubescent. Goulding has written songs for The X Factor finalist Diana Vickers' forthcoming debut, as if these ten slabs of worldly wisdom and musical talent were not enough.
