    You’re completely right about the second half being “radio-friendly” songs. She basically had a really bad time with her label for this album campaign, and they forced her to release radio friendly songs that she doesn’t like and associate to, and didn’t push anything from disc 1.

    Brightest Blue is probably my favorite album of 2020, next to Chromatica. Also, Delirium (Target Exclusive Deluxe) is one of the best pop albums of the '10s decade hands down!

    All the tracks from EG.O (disk 2) were released over these past 2-3 years. Mostly singles. This is Ellie’s alternate ego henceforth the name of the 2nd disk name. She wanted to try something different for the album that’s why there’s 2 parts. I actually love the whole body of work.

    The final verse in brightest blue is
    "Suddenly I know
    Whatever thing you want me to change
    I looked up and I think I want to do it too"
    And then there is a post-chorus too
    "And now I see no beauty in retrograde"
    She deliberately buried it under the melodies because she wanted to have this 'blue' atmosphere (if it make sense)
    You will hear only if you listen carefully. But she did sing that verse in her official live performance.
    PS> You should try that official performance, and i think you will appreciate that version more. I don't like studio version too.

    I come here to his channel, because I used to listen to a whole album with my friends and we would discuss and get excited for it...now it's like as everybody grew up, we got more and more seperated now we barely even talk about music because it's less important because of the 'real world stuff'. So I find myself listening to my favorite albums with him. Thanks for accompanying for those who need it!

    Maybe, START , the intro is quite large but it posses a very deep meaning!
    This song will either give you goosebumps or will give you tears ! Ellie Goulding remained in the spotlight, and remained as a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR. But this type of artificial popularity with no peace in mind made her to take a five year pause from her music career. She also started to suffer from Imposter syndrome, she was struggling and fighting with her poppy side of her soul. And once she even thought to leave her music career !! She felt really really exhausted and tired after her robotic lifestyle . Once she said "I'd just become a robot" . And also she was a silent victim of the industry politics which ransacked her true artistic soul.
    That's why she says, " Fighting against, what I'm fighting for "//
    You Fuck me, I'll start a war"
    But after years of rehabilitation, gradually she learned to love her inner true self which made her to recuperate and then she moved to produce the BRIGHTEST BLUE! 💙💙 Ellie made this song soo long to clearly clarify her 5 years of pause.

    Grimes - Miss Anthropoene
    Rina Sawayama - SAWAYAMA

    Brightest Blue (disc 1) is very similar to a lot of what shows up on Halcyon. Then EG0 (disc 2) is along the same lines as Delirium, with the exception being some of the deep cuts. Bright Lights is a blend of the both, but has very heavy electropop influences

    Não acredito que reagiu a esse álbum. Para mim é o melhor álbum de 2020, e muito injustiçado as pessoas não está dando atenção que merece! Vc tem que ouvir o "Halcyon days". New hights é minha preferida, e a interlude " overture " destroi qualquer outra! Ellie é incrivel!
    E sim a segunda parte não é tao boa, foram single genéricos avulsos lancados antes só para vender mesmo, concerteza a gravadora quis colocar no álbum para não perder números, ja que essa parte não e a cara da Ellie.

    i remember listening to this album when it came out and wanting to love it so badly, but i just couldn’t get past the trap they coated many of the songs in. it feels out of place to me, like the label heard this fascinating, raw, industrial/distorted atmospheric sound and said “yeah we love this, but trap is hot right now so work that in somehow.” it clutters the sound to me, and the moments where they’re removed are where i feel that artistry shine through. i love trap as much as the next guy, but IMO it just felt so unnecessary on this project
