Ellie Goulding

I feel compelled to write a short blog about her - if only for the fact she was top of the list by the BBC for artists to watch out for in 2010.

However, I'd like to tow the line with The Telegraph's Neil McCormick. He's wary of her championing by the Beeb because, as he puts it, 'There’s just something wrong about crowning artists before they’ve actually achieved anything, other than getting noticed.'

Too true. I've heard precisely 4 songs by her and whilst they're not too shabby I don't like to plump for her being the next big thing based on that alone. Of course, Florence came out on top last year so who knows.



Under The Sheets is pretty catchy. I would argue some may find her 'quirky' voice a little grating but if people want to look past that, she may become quite successful.

Still, never assume. It makes an ass out of u and me.
The Album Lights is due for release May 2010.
