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.

That's Katie Dove-Dixon in the photo, on what appears to be a particulary windy day. Now I've been wanting to write about Katie for ages. In fact, I'd say she is one of the inspirations for me starting this blog in the first place.
She reminds me a lot of Regina Spektor (particularly on "Go Go Go"). A hint of Eva Cassidy too maybe? See what you think. As far as I'm aware, Katie is currently unsigned. Watch this space.
