Delirium

After listening to the entire Delirium album at least 5 times, maybe 6 times since I didn't go in order the first time, I have to say its a good attempt at an exclusively "pop" album. Most songs do not hold any signature "Ellie" vibes, however there are still some influences that have remained despite being labeled as an experiment by Ellie herself. For example, in Heal and Devotion, she kept that club/dance vibe that she really promoted in Halcyon Days, her remixes of course, and collaborations that she normally does. (How much do you wanna bet a Heal remix will be an absolute banger at Coachella this year? Dillon Francis, I'm waiting for your remix) In comparison to Lights and Halcyon, I would unfortunately consider this album more of a "pick and choose" type as only a few songs stuck out to me; Halcyon and Lights carried such consistency and variety at the same time, whereas Delirium has consistency but it's rather boring and not as creative. I will say I believe this type of reaction was expected, and I think because of this, putting in the Intro was so brilliant and put closure to the style of Halcyon, letting Ellie be removed from that album and move on to promote this style. The worst tracks on this album by far were Around U and Paradise. Part of Ellie's success is from her amazing, unaltered sound for live concerts, and I highly doubt these songs will have any power live as there is auto tune which was horribly unnecessary. I also am a bit annoyed with "On My Mind" because yeah, for what it is, it's a decent song. But it's very Taylor Swift-esque, and does not fit into the whole "live experience" of Ellie as stated before. The songs that stuck out to me as proper pop songs were Aftertaste, We Can't Move to This, Something in the Way You Move, Don't Need Nobody, and I Do What I Love. These songs were farther from generic, felt more crafted by Ellie herself, and had more overall individuality. One thing I will say, is that her lyrics in practically all of her tracks sound like something she composed. Though there are some signatures I miss, like the backwards vocal tracks playing in the background which are incredibly surreal (note: listen to Starry Eyed for reference), the poppy sounds of halcyon with the dark undertones in her lyrics, etc. at least this album feels as though she's still molded part of it herself, which is not something I can confirm all pop artists do. I wish, wish, wish with all my heart that next album she will stray away from giving Max Martin and other producers the lead because Ellie did not get her fame from generic sounding, Taylor Swift wannabe, pop hits. I would love to see her revisit her folk sound more and show us how her voice has developed and gotten stronger since some of her acoustic tracks from 2009. Will I still buy the album and listen to it in it's entirety ? Most likely. Will I see her live? I don't have as big of expectations as previous, but if I have the money to spend to go to Boston and see her, I would gladly.

Cars have a serious culture though. All around the world, imports, exports, classics, different styles, different people. Cars can bring people together. Clothes not as much. Clothing culture is very straightforward and shallow. Cars have a little but more sentimental feelings to families more than clothing usually does.

¿What do you think about the backing vocal singers on Ellie's concert? I think they're talented, but seriously, they ruined her performance. :/ I would like she sings only her like before.

I thought the same when she started touring with them. I rather her singing with her own voice tracks as backups, to be honest. But doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the shows.

I think you guys are missing the point though. I think ellie wanted to have backup singers to make her performance more real, more raw. Think about mostly any other pop show. Most have the singers background verses playing- nothing great, and nothing creative. I think Ellie wanted her show to be more real by having as many live instruments as possible. That's also why she got a great reputation- her voice live is so uncut and flawless that way, that when she messes with the (synthesizer?) to alter her voice a bit- personally, it made me lose my mind. None of us would've said "wow, I'm so glad she had her vocals playing in the background, prerecorded and what not." Granted, it's okay you prefer her voice, I do too, but the intention of this was for a better performance and I think it was a step in the right direction for pop music, as too many times pop artists just lip sync. Ellie is a true artist and I like that there were backup singers just for the added realness of her show.
