As you probably know if you follow Ellie on twitter, she is currently over in America beginning her tour. She appeared at SXSW (South by South West) on 18th March, and I have added some photos of her to the gallery!

I hope Ellie really breaks America, she deserves to – but I hope she comes back!

Ellie was performed her new single, Lights, on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on Thursday 17th March. I have added some photos of her appearances to the gallery, thanks to my great friend James!

You can watch Ellie’s performance here, but only for a limited period of time!

Ellie appeared in the LIve Lounge on Radio 1 with Jo Whiley yesterday, for the third time. She performed Lights and Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales. You can listen to the interview and performances by following this link.

I have added photos of Ellie in all three of her live lounges to the gallery, which you can view below.

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Lights has finally been released as a single. You can see the official artwork for the single above, and Ellie looks great.

To buy the track on iTunes follow this link. Remember the single comes with Ellie’s cover of Only Girl (In The World) that she did in the Live Lounge at the end year, which is great as I love it! Only Girl is only available when you buy the whole EP though, but it is definitely worth it!

The whole tracklisting is below:

1. Lights (Single Version)
2. Only Girl In The World (Live Lounge Cover)
3. Lights (Bassnectar Remix)
4. Lights (Shook Remix)
5. Lights (MK Charlee Dub)
6. Lights (Max Gordon Remix)

Here is the video again, just to remind you how great the song is!

I have just added two brand new photoshoots to the gallery. One is the Nylon magazine shoot and the other, I believe, is the Scottish Big Issue shoot.

They are both in MQ but I will try to get HQ for everyone to look at. Ellie looks great in both shoots, and I think I have found which photos to use in the next layout!

There will be a new layout coming in April, as the site will be a year old then. I cannot believe the site has been going for almost a year! It has flown by! I still wonder if Ellie has seen the site though. But thanks to everyone who visits and has watched the site grow and grow! It means a lot (:

Along with the new layout, to celebrate the site being a year old I will be holding an “Ellie Goulding’s Biggest Fan” competition, in which you can enter yourself as Ellie’s biggest fan and explain why you are her biggest fan. I will choose the winner and two runners up, and there will be prizes – I just need to decide what! More details will be coming soon though, so look out for that if you think you are a huge fan of Ellie’s!

Oh! I will be adding HQ scans of a few magazines, including Nylon, very soon, as my friend has kindly brought me a copy back from her trip to America!

Ellie went to an exclusive Clare Maguire gig on Tuesday along with Marina (& the Diamonds). I have added some HQ photos of the girls together after the gig.

I have also added photos of Ellie busking for the Big Issue Foundation earlier today, so make sure to check them out!

Also, Lights news. On Saturday Ellie appeared on Radio 2 with Zoe Ball and performed Lights and Salt Skin (I will upload them later, or just wait until I unveil the brand new downloads centre). At the end of her segment Zoe announced that Lights will be released on 14th March, so make sure you all buy a copy when it comes out!
