I’m currently loving what I am seeing and hearing of Ellie Goulding.  Her refreshing music is a blend of beautiful folk lyrics and danceable beats. Already a hit in UK, Ellie’s debut album “Lights” has hit #1 on their album chart. It is very noticeable that Ellie is a self-taught singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Ellie’s US debut “Lights” will be available March 8, 2011. If you are in the Bay Area she is playing the Rickshaw Stop on April 14, 2011

Visit Ellie’s Website for information about her music.

Below is a amazing video from the BBC of her cover of Rihanna‘s “Only Girl in the World.”
