The beginning of 2015 began with Goulding releasing her biggest hit to date, “Love Me Like You Do”“ for the 50 Shades of Grey Soundtrack. Goulding’s vocal connection with EDM has been explored through collaborations with Calvin Harris, on hits “ I Need Your Love,” and “ Outside”, as well as songs with Major Lazer, Clean Bandit, Zedd, Madeon, and Kygo. Its lead single, “Burn” was a top 20 hit in the United States, becoming a mega-success worldwide. It’s re-issue, Halcyon Days saw critical acclaim for Goulding’s happier lyrical content and musical exploration into EDM. In 2012, Goulding’s sophomore record Halcyon was released, featuring lead single “ “Anything Could Happen”, which was another U.S. In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “ Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.Īt the end of the year the album’s reissue Bright Lights was released, and spawned two singles: “Lights” and a cover of Elton John’s “ Your Song.” The former of which propelled Goulding into international stardom after becoming a sleeper hit in the United States, eventually peaking at #2 after almost a year of the song charting.

Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November. In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008.
