艺人简介

英格兰女歌手,出生于赫里福郡,英格兰,1986年12月30日。

全英音乐奖“乐评首选大奖”得主,BBC新闻网站“2010年流行新声音”名单榜首。

把简单的流行民谣融入时髦的电音旋律空间,英国女歌手Ellie Goulding彩绘出folktronica的音乐新世界,她的音乐轻盈、活泼,真情奔放,很容易让乐迷的心跟着悦耳的旋律一起飞扬,英国卫报形容Ellie的歌声彷佛是空灵乐派的Cocteau Twins乐团唱起了流行乐的感觉。Ellie在2010年大放异彩,先是获得BBC新闻网站评选为“2010年流行新声音”名单的榜首,再获全英音乐奖“乐评首选大奖”的肯定,紧跟着,她的首张专辑《Lights》于发行首周就站上英国金榜冠军,这一切对她而言就跟她的音乐带给乐迷的感觉一样,只能用惊喜连连来形容。

1986年12月30日出生于英格兰中西部赫里福郡一个人口不到千人的小村落Lyonshall,15岁时开始练吉他,写些民谣风格的音乐,随后在肯特大学念戏剧系的时候迷上电子音乐,她在英国流行电子乐制作人Frankmusik的协助下完成了《Wish I Stay ed》,这首歌轻快、恣意的流行电子乐创作建立了Ellie的音乐创作雏形,之后,Ellie与电音制作新锐Starsmith合作,由于双方颇有默契,接着就着手进行首张专辑《Lights》的录制,Ellie为了音乐梦想,放弃学业,迁居伦敦。Ellie在2009年9月与英国音乐名厂Polydor签下合约,随后在流行女歌手Little Boots的巡回演唱会中担任暖场演出。

Ellie表示:“专辑里头的许多歌曲都是我两年前用吉他弹唱的方式所创作的,记录了一些成功或失败的浪漫体验。”俏丽动感,让人怦然心动的单曲《Starry Eyed》,晋升英国金榜第4名;描述一段黑暗的男女关系的《Under The Sheets》表现了电子节奏的亮丽感与劲道;《Guns And Horses》运用木琴与拨弦声效带出鲜跳节拍;《This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)》带来了心荡神驰的流行电子乐快感;《The Writer》在轻柔的乐声之中散发着民谣音乐的动人情感。2009年已结束,女歌手们载誉而归;2010年刚开始,另一批女歌手们就已经预订了今年的热门候选。

先说美国的,22岁的女歌手Ke$ha成为“Gaga现象”的受益者,不守传统,话题多多的典型。去年圣诞节过后她的单曲《TiK ToK》在iTunes上卖出了61万张,超越了Lady Gaga在前年创下的记录,使其成为单曲销量最高的女歌手。随后她的专辑《Animal》发行更是超越了苏珊•波伊尔的《I Dreamed a Dream》成为美国公告牌专辑榜的冠军。流行乐坛的换血就是这么快,一代新人换旧人,正如《Q》杂志主编所说,如今大厂牌下的主打歌手基本多是女性,他们更愿意把钱砸在这些女歌手身上。在Ke$ha身上可以看到之前很多女歌手的影子,Lady Gaga、凯蒂•派瑞(Katy Perry)、“粉红佳人”(Pink)等,很明显对于Ke$ha的推广很有复制前几位歌手成功案例的意思。市场对于这样复制的消化能力同样很强,至少在今年,Ke$ha会制造出跟Lady Gaga旗鼓相当的影响。

英国那边也有自己的Ke$ha,BBC电台年初做了个“年度之声”的评选,这个评选旨在评出新的一年将会大红大紫的歌手。BBC的“年度之声”已经有八年的历史,之前“BBC之声”冠军包括:阿黛尔(Adele)、Mika (2007)和50 Cent (2003),几位均在当年成了大红人,所以这个评选的指导性还是很权威的,今年,“BBC之声”的冠军授予了女歌手Ellie Goulding,很明显英国人同样看好女歌手的市场,在这个评选的前五名中还有另一个女歌手Marina and the Diamonds。对于曾经捧红过Keane、The Bravery这类乐队的“BBC之声”来说,如今转而推广女歌手,不得不说是时代的口味所致。似乎是因为女歌手更容易推广,男歌手们已经不再让人惊喜,因为他们把能做的都做到了,门槛过高,后来人很超越前者;而女歌手则不同,她们一直以来都还处于成长期,偶然出来个出色的就会显得特别显眼,而且现在大有女歌手进军男歌手领域的趋势,这样的跨界很具观赏性,Ellie Goulding玩的是电子加民谣加流行,这样的音乐之前都是男歌手的天下,如今出来这么一位女歌手,自然会让人觉得新鲜。

2009年的泰勒•斯威夫特、Lady Gaga、苏珊•波伊尔(Susan Boyle),2010年的Ke$ha和Ellie Goulding,欧美流行乐坛进入了女歌手内部换血的时代,依照这样的规律我们可以期待的只是2010年将会出现另一个泰勒•斯威夫特、另一个Lady Gaga、甚至是另一个苏珊•波伊尔。2010年“格莱美”即将开演,这将是欧美流行乐坛进入女性时代的另一个高CHAO,女歌手泰勒•斯威夫特和碧昂丝(Beyonce),两人分别获得了八项和十项提名,让男歌手们作壁上观。

2012年10月5日,发行第二张专辑《翠鸟寓言(Halcyon)》,其中首发单曲《Anything Could Happen》取得英国单曲榜第5名的成绩,也以美国公告牌百强单曲榜第49名的成绩取得美国唱片工业协会(RIAA) 黄金认证。

2013年8月,发行第二张专辑《翠鸟寓言(Halcyon)》的改版专辑《翠鸟时光(Halcyon Days)》。2014年,获得全英音乐奖英国最佳女歌手奖。

2015年,为电影《五十度灰》演唱主题曲《Love Me Like You Do》;9月17日发行三专首只单曲《On My Mind》。11月6日发行第三张专辑《狂喜(Delirium)》。
