Ellie Goulding has announced her fifth studio album, ‘Higher Than Heaven’. The album, which is set to drop next year, is the pop singer's follow-up to 2020's ‘Brightest Blue’.
Talking about the upcoming project, Goulding explained: “There was definitely a darkness about [the past two years] that was palpable in the studio, with everyone having gone through it differently.”

“I think for that reason, nobody wanted to sit and agonise over some relationship or some drama. So that’s how this album came together.”
She continued: “[‘Higher Than Heaven’ is] about being passionately in love. But it’s a hyper form of love, almost like a drug-induced feeling. It feels almost artificial and there’s the potential for a crash.”
