The middle of the show takes a softer, acoustic turn, as she changes into a shimmering white gown for tender renditions of “Explosions,” “Lights” – during which the crowd lights up the arena with their phones – and “Army,” an ode to always-reliable BFFdom, which tonight encompasses every member of the crowd, their faces flashing across the big screen in sheer joy. She occasionally lets the crowd sing her big choruses, like on Calvin Harris’s “Outside” and then breaks out her big white guitar for the sentimental “Devotion,” all the while including charming banter between tracks that makes her disarmingly relatable for her level of pop-star success. While she’s moved from her folksy EDM beginnings to more hedonistic mainstream pop on this latest album, Goulding is clearly adept and powerful either way.
Goulding’s near-operatic voice is on display, her unique vocal inflections showcased against glittering, frothy dance-pop. The strong beats of newer songs like “Holding on for Life” and “On My Mind” are perfect fodder for a quartet of perfectly chiseled male dancers that accompany Goulding throughout the night, and she occasionally breaks out a tom-tom solo, a move she’s been rocking for a while now, but that still incites appreciation from the crowd. When her “Delirium” intro starts, and the room goes from pitch-black to sparkling, Goulding emerges through glittering gold drapes before breaking into “Aftertaste,” the high-intensity, beat-driven opening track to her 2015 album Delirium.įrom there, the well-rounded British songstress blasts through a blockbuster live performance, a mix of new tracks balanced with her major hits from the past five years. The album is currently available for pre-order and those who do will receive instant downloads: the first single " On My Mind," "Something In The Way You Move," "Lost and Found" and " Army.All it takes is a curtain printed with her face to incite a wave of screams amongst the crowd, waiting with anticipation for Ellie Goulding to take the stage at Seattle’s KeyArena.
