Cherrytree/ Interscope to Release Special Version of Debut CD From UK Award Winning Artist Ellie Goulding

LIGHTS OUT MARCH 8

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Already a success in her native England, 24-year-old UK singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding will release a special US full length of LIGHTS March 8th on Cherrytree/ Interscope Records. The US version will include three songs ("Lights," "Animal," and "Your Song") not available on the original UK version.

Produced by Starsmith, Goulding's full length release LIGHTS shot to #1 on the UK chart in March 2010. This past December "Your Song" hit #2 on the charts and #1 on the iTunes Chart and the video has received over 6 million views. The focus track, "Starry Eyed," has already received over 12.5 million views on YouTube.

This past September, Ellie made her maiden voyage to the US in support of her EP, AN INTRODUCTION TO ELLIE GOULDING. She performed in New York and Los Angeles to rave reviews. The New Yorker called Ellie "the future of music" and the Los Angeles Times raved, "her set seemed to cement her pop bona fides. ... She can reel off some powerful drum and guitar chops and her voice is a serious and sure instrument in person."

Ellie has received numerous accolades from her motherland in the form of The Critics Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards and topped the BBC sound of 2010 poll. Goulding's debut CD has garnered much critical praise. NME calls Lights, "never less than stunning...it marks the emergence of a smart, sincere and talented new pop star," and Q declares, "There is undeniable greatness afoot here."

Described as "electro-folk-acoustic-pop," Ellie's songs mix heartfelt emotion with other-worldly atmospherics, spinning electronica into dreamy warmth.
