Sounds Like: Marina and the Diamonds, Regina Spektor
Along the lines of Little Boots, in a similar vein to Marina and the Diamonds and appearing through the same double doors as Regina Spektor, Ellie Goulding has joined the long lines of soft-voiced female electro-pop acts emerging from the fruitful musical orchard that is The Internet. I hate to lump them all together but the comparisons are obvious.
So original? Maybe not but certainly worthy of a listen, at least to Starry Eyed, a catchy pop tune with a ladder to the wall of Castle Electro (I'm having a day of ridiculous metaphors - does that one even work?). And the second track, Wish I Stayed produced by Frankmusik is certainly growing on me.
If you like this kind of thing I suggest you check out Katie Dove-Dixon too.
