Ellie Goulding has announced her brand new studio album 'Higher Than Heaven'.
This is the Starrey Eyed singer's fifth studio album overall, and features the released single 'Let It Die', which you can listen to below.
Arriving on 3 February 2023, 'Higher Than Heaven' will serve as a follow up to Goulding's 2020 record 'Brightest Blue'. "Higher Than Heaven. My fifth studio album. Out Feb. 3, 2023. Thank you as ever for all the love and warmth. Ellie x", Goulding tweeted.
Regarding the forthcoming album, Ellie Goulding revealed that there was an air of "darkness" around her studio when recording the record, with people suffering different adversities during the last two years of the pandemic.
“There was definitely a darkness about [the past two years] that was palpable in the studio, with everyone having gone through it differently", she said.
“I think for that reason, nobody wanted to sit and agonise over some relationship or some drama. So that’s how this album came together", Goulding continued. “[‘Higher Than Heaven’ is] about being passionately in love. But it’s a hyper form of love, almost like a drug induced feeling. It feels almost artificial and there’s the potential for a crash".
