Ellie Goulding has said she views her upcoming album, ‘Higher Than Heaven’, as her “least personal” release yet.The singer explained in an interview with Rolling Stone that she wanted her fifth album to be “completely different” from its predecessor, 2020’s ‘Brightest Blue’.“In the best possible way, this album wasn’t taken from personal experiences, and it was such a relief and really refreshing to not be sitting in the studio going through all the things that happened to me and affected me. Because I feel things very deeply. I always have,” she said.
“It’s the least personal album, but I think it’s the best album because I got to just explore other things about myself. I just really, really enjoy writing, really enjoy being a singer.”Meanwhile, she said that the song in her discography that she will always relate to is her 2012 hit ‘Anything Can Happen’. “It’s just the feeling I get every time I perform it,” she explained. “When I listen back to it, I don’t know how I did that song.
I couldn’t tell you what I was feeling, what I was going through. And so there are some songs in retrospect that I listen to now that I sort of admire the person that I was when I wrote it because no, I think I can never write a song like that again. And I think it defines me the best.
