As I thought, the artwork for The Writer, is green. You can see it below. According to the photographer this is only being used for the digital copy, so I can’t wait to see what the CD and the vinyl cover will look like, hopefully the vinyl will be a picture disc like with Guns and Horses. You can buy the single from 22nd August.
I have also scanned a few articles featuring Ellie from a number of articles. They are: The Independent Magazine (March 2010), Hotline (April 2010), Culture Magazine (February 2010) and You (May 2010). I have also tagged the scans from More and Company, as I found another website had stolen them and had not given credit.
And some more exciting news about the Ellie/Tinie collab and about Ellie’s friendship with Tinie from the BBC website, which you can read below.
It’s to be included on the rapper’s forthcoming debut album Disc-Overy released latest this year.
The Hereford-born singer has contributed vocals to the song.
Speaking to Newsbeat she said: “He’s one of these people I believe in, and not just because of his music, but because he’s a lovely person.”
Tempah collaboration
Goulding explained that she became a big fan of the Pass Out rapper after he supported her at a gig earlier this year.
“It’s about not having all that much when your little and then working very hard and then having a lot more than you used to have and being very grateful,” explained Goulding. “So I can relate to it – it’s really cool.”
The singer, who went to number one in the UK albums chart with her debut Lights, also revealed that she gets a lot of stick from people on Twitter teasing her about her exercise regime. The singer is a keen road runner.
“People often say I should be more rock ‘n’ roll and when I Tweet about running people go – yawn.
“And I think, ‘Well no, my life has been full of all sorts. I’ve done a lot of things in my time but I feel like now I’ve grown up and I just want to focus on my music. So I’m not that rock ‘n’ roll.”
“I keep myself to myself. I don’t go out much. I live by myself. So it’s like when I talk to journalists I find myself really opening up because I don’t talk to people so much about stuff.
“So when they ask me questions I tend to be quite open – I don’t see anything wrong with that.
“I think there’s a thin line – you shouldn’t give away your soul but at the same time I like to let things out and I like to think people can relate to those things. It makes me feel better.”
Goulding’s new single The Writer is out on 22 August.
Ellie, born in Hereford, is probably best known for her number four hit 'Starry Eyed' and her cover of Elton John's 'Your Song'. She topped the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, and won the 2010 Critics' Choice Brit Award. After that her year just got better, with her debut album going straight in at number one. Ellie performed at most of the festivals in the summer of 2010, including Glastonbury! Her final single of 2010, 'Your Song', peaked at number two in the UK Top 40 and 2011 was another great year for Ellie, who released her debut album in America in March and performed at Coachella festival. Ellie was also chosen to play for the royal couple (William and Kate) at their after party to their wedding in April, and even appeared on Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey. She was later chosen to represent drinks brand, SoBe, in the UK. Ellie is set to release new music in 2012, and Ellie-G.com cannot wait!
