Elena Jane Goulding (/ˈɡoʊldɪŋ/ GOHL-ding; born 30 December 1986) is an English singer and songwriter. Born in Hereford and raised in Lyonshall, Goulding began writing songs at the age of 15. She released her debut single "Under the Sheets" through Neon Gold Records in 2009, and signed with Polydor Records that same year, releasing her debut extended play (EP) An Introduction to Ellie Goulding. Her debut studio album, Lights (2010), debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, and was reissued as Bright Lights, spawning three successful singles: a cover of Elton John's "Your Song", "Starry Eyed" and "Lights".

Goulding's second studio album, Halcyon (2012), was preceded by its lead single "Anything Could Happen", and a repackaged edition titled Halcyon Days (2013) produced the single "Burn", which became her first No. 1 single in the UK. She then collaborated with DJ Calvin Harris on two singles: "I Need Your Love" and "Outside". After the release of her third studio album Delirium (2015) and its lead single "On My Mind", Goulding received a Grammy Award nomination for her single "Love Me Like You Do", which was recorded for the soundtrack of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015).

Goulding took a hiatus from 2016 to 2020, struggling with an anxiety disorder and media scrutiny over false claims on her personal life. Her fourth studio album Brightest Blue (2020) became her third album to top the UK Albums Chart, and her fourth consecutive album certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It spawned several singles, including the hits "Close to Me", "Hate Me" and "Sixteen". She reunited with Harris on the single "Miracle", which spent eight non-consecutive weeks at No.1 on the UK Singles Chart in 2023. Goulding's fifth studio album Higher Than Heaven (2023) debuted at No. 1 in the UK, her fourth chart-topping album, making her the British female with the most number-one albums in UK history, tying with Adele.

Goulding is the recipient of numerous accolades, including three Brit Awards (including the prestigious BRIT Billion Award), a Billboard Music Award, 17 BMI London Awards, and nominations for two Grammy Awards. She was honored with a Decade Award by the Variety Hitmakers Awards in recognition of a decade of "undeniable hits". TIME100 honored her with the Impact Award for using her platform to protect the environment. She has sold more than 27 million albums and 216 million singles, and amassed 43 billion streams worldwide, making her one of the most successful British female singers of the 21st century.

Early life

Elena Jane Goulding was born on 30 December 1986 in Hereford, Herefordshire, England to Arthur and Tracey Goulding, and was brought up in the small village of Lyonshall, in Herefordshire. She has a brother, Alex, and two sisters, Isabel and Jordan. When she was five years old, her parents separated. Afterwards, she had little contact with her father, a funeral director. Goulding and her siblings were raised by their mother on a council estate, with Goulding describing the family as "super poor". She stated that she has a "difficult" relationship with her mother.

Goulding began playing the clarinet at age nine and learning guitar at age 14. She attended Lady Hawkins' High School in Kington, Herefordshire and, by the age of 15, started writing songs. She took A levels in English, politics, drama and music, and passed the first 3 with "A" grades but failed music.

I play the guitar and I play the bass and piano and then I'm singing a lot of vocals. It's very classically influenced because I love classical music. There's a lot going on, it's a big soundscape and one big film. The second half is my kind of alter ego songs." On 21 May she released single "Power" and on 30 June single "Slow Grenade" with Lauv.

Goulding released her fourth studio album, Brightest Blue, on 17 July 2020. Originally scheduled for 5 June 2020, the album's release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Artistry

Goulding's music has been described as electropop, synth-pop, indie pop and folktronica. She is a soprano and is noted for her high piercing vibrato, breathy tone and emotive delivery. In a review for Halcyon, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph described her voice as "something special", continuing; "Her tremulous vibrato and slightly hoarse timbre have the feel of something primal and folky, her birdlike high notes conveying a childlike wonder while darker tones imply ancient depths of sorrow. She sings like she is strung out on the melody, warbling from a place of desperate emotion. It really is that rarest and perhaps most accidental of gifts: an original voice". He then continued in regards to her vocal layering stating, "producer Jim Eliot puts her voice front, back and centre, banking up choral walls of vibrato, fashioning hooks from cut up samples of chirrups and chants, and creating unusual textures from trills and warbles". During an interview with Carson Daly, Goulding described her own voice saying;

I think sometimes it sounds like my voice is like, out of control... I have to really control it because it just kind of goes everywhere. Like, sometimes stuff comes out that I don't expect. A lot, actually . It's so funny because my favourite thing to do is imitate opera singers, but I've never had a singing lesson. Oh, I had a lesson just to teach me how to breathe better, but I never really had a singing lesson.

Will Hermes of Rolling Stone compared her voice to that of Dolly Parton, stating that her upper register was dazzling whilst also complementing her skill in vocal multi-layering. Megan Farokhmanesh of Paste magazine stated "Goulding has a lovely voice, but occasionally her soprano-strung vocals hit a note that rubs the eardrums the wrong way" although she praised Goulding overall for her "talent for gorgeous high heart-tugging vocals".

Goulding has listed Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and Björk as influences, as well as contemporaries such as Amy Winehouse, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Burial, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver, and Rihanna. She also expressed admiration for rappers Kanye West, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Goulding's musical style has been compared to that of Kate Nash, Lykke Li and Tracey Thorn.

Goulding's debut album Lights (2010) experimented with genres including indie pop, synthpop, folktronica and indietronica. The album contained "sparkling pop with a folky heart and an electronic edge" and was noted as being infectious. The album incorporated "acoustic guitar" and "retro-synthpop" compared to that of Little Boots and La Roux, while the production contained "folkie origins under a welter of busily cycling synths and programmed beats". Goulding's second album Halcyon (2012) followed in the same vein, including genres such as indie pop, synthpop and dream pop. She stepped away from the electronic sound of her previous album and moved to a more tribal and anthemic sound containing a bit more piano and vocal. Its re-issue Halcyon Days (2013) which features ten brand-new songs, marked the return of Goulding's electronic music style, with the singer-songwriter embracing her electropop sound. Goulding spoke on an interview with Elle, about the reasoning behind her return to a more electronic sound, stating: "I have such an affinity with electronic music that I can't step away from it." Goulding's third studio album Delirium (2015) was a pivotal moment for the songstress career, as it presented a change in the musical direction for Goulding, reaching for a more maximalist pop oriented sound. The album divided music critics and fans alike, with critics praising the album production, but expressing skepticism on the lack of personality in the lyrical content, as in contrast from her previous two records. Rooted in Pop music, Delirium experimented with genres such as electropop, synthpop, dance, R&B, and folk-pop. Goulding's fourth studio album Brightest Blue (2020) is divided in two sides; the first side has been compared to her early releases as it recaptures the "simplicity" and "vulnerability" of her first two records. Sonically, experiments with genres such as R&B, soul and electropop. Meanwhile, the second side EG.0, incorporates influences from music genres like Hip-Hop and dance. Goulding's fifth studio album Higher Than Heaven (2023) is mainly a dance-pop and nu-disco record, it also incorporate tracks with synthpop, R&B and EDM influences.

Goulding has received praise and admiration from fellow peers. Some artists that have spoken highly about the singer includes: Halsey, Bridgit Mendler, Lauv, Camila Cabello, Normani, Lil Nas X, Chappell Roan, Ally Brooke, BUNT., Taylor Swift, Aaron Paul, Calvin Harris, Selena Gomez, and Lorde. American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift praised Goulding voice while talking with Capital FM saying: "Ellie is amazing, and when she starts singing – I remember the affect she had on my band – they were all looking at each other like 'That's really what her voice sounds like'," she explained. "Because when you first hear an Ellie Goulding song, you're like 'Oh I wonder what effect they're using on her voice. No, that's just the way it sounds." American singer and actress Selena Gomez cited Goulding as an influence for the making of her album "Stars Dance" in an interview with Teen Vogue saying: "I got to record 20 or so great songs and work with a bunch of different producers and they're all really fun, pop songs and a little Ellie Goulding-ish." New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde stated in an interview with Clash Magazine that she would "love to write for – or with – Ellie Goulding, actually." American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan mentioned Goulding in an interview with Pop Crave, as one of the musical inspirations that influenced her early music. Scottish DJ and Goulding's frequent collaborator Calvin Harris spoke in an interview with Dork magazine about working with Goulding: “Ellie has the three good things about working with somebody. A spectacular unique voice and delivery that can carry a song emotionally, and a laugh!”.

Public image

Goulding's personal life has been highly subject of intense media scrutiny, as well a victim of constant false rumours spread by British tabloids, which has affected her public image and her mental health. Goulding stated that the media coverage of her life felt like "being strapped to a space shuttle".

After the release of the song "Don't" by Ed Sheeran, Goulding was rumoured to be the subject person behind the lyrical content, which Goulding denied multiple times, clarifying that she has never dated Sheeran. The media coverage and subsequent slut-shame received over the false claims, lead Goulding to step out from the spotlight on a five-year gap. She has expressed her disappointment and frustration with the unfounded allegations, stating: "I was made to feel like a terrible person and I really struggled with that because I know I'm not."

In 2024, Goulding released a statement on her Instagram stories condemning the false narratives surrounding the end of her marriage, criticising the tabloids for violating her privacy which has damaged her mental health, she denounced the several unethical practices that the media has played to get unwarranted information on her, including paying locals from Costa Rica to snitch information on her. Goulding also opened up about becoming a "paranoid wreck" after being constantly stalked "over, and over" by an older man, as well having to deal with a male paparazzi with "a long lens camera wrapped on a towel". She concluded her statement saying that she "never asked for this level of intrusion". Goulding confirmed on her X account that she knows the identity of her stalker.

Despite keeping a low profile on social medias, Goulding became a victim of trolling on the internet, mainly after a parody account, Fake Showbiz News, used the singer as a vessel for fake quotes on X, which quickly become a viral trend on the internet with several users creating their own fake quotes of Goulding. Goulding has acknowledged the trend and played along with it.
