For Christmas I recieved Ellie Goulding’s new album Delirium. After enjoying her latest singles such as On My Mind, I expected her album to be good. However, her album is more than just ‘good’. I’d best describe it as ‘incredible’. Here is why.
The first actual song on the album (after the intro piece) is Aftertaste. Aftertaste is the perfect start to the album, and one of my favourites of the whole thing. Other songs I really like on the album include Keep On Dancin’, Codes, Don’t Panic and Paradise.
Army, her latest single, also has to be one of my favourites. The lyrics are beautifully wrote about her best friend and the song is really powerful.
The Deluxe version of Delirium contains 22 songs. I was doubtful that all 22 songs would be good, but each of them bring something to the album. I certainly wouldn’t complain that there are too many songs. The only track I am unsure about is I Do What I Love – what I would describe as an angrier version of Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood with the loud drum beats, it has definitely grown on me since the first time I listened to it.
In contrast to I Do What I Love, there are quite a few songs on the album with a soft sound such as We Can’t Move To This, Heal, and the first single from the album Love Me Like You Do.
Overall, I would say Delirium is one of my favourite albums recently, and also Ellie’s best album yet. Let me know an album you have been loving in the comments!
