Ellie Goulding announces end of music hiatus

Ellie Goulding is about to release her sixth studio album.

The 39-year-old pop star has not released an LP since 2023's Higher Than Heaven, and Ellie has teased that her next release will come "soon."

She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, "I’ve spent the past few years working really closely with a brilliantly talented producer and multi-instrumentalist called Jack Rochon.”

Ellie continued, "I actually found him on TikTok when he was still relatively undiscovered, living in Canada. He’s since moved to Los Angeles and worked with Beyonce.”

"I immediately connected with what he was doing creatively. I have always loved discovering emerging talent and championing new voices, just like I did when I first started out and discovered Starsmith,” the Love Me Like You Do singer added.

"We’ve recorded hundreds of songs together, and I loved the freedom of exploring different sounds, feelings, thoughts, and experiences,” she expressed, adding, "It felt really organic and honest, like journaling through music."

Recently, Ellie Goulding has just debuted her single, Black Prada Dress, at BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Sunderland, North East England.

Speaking about the track, she said, "There’s not one definitive experience that inspired it. It’s directed at that negative, critical voice bringing you down. And that voice could be your own, internal voice — that self-critical, destructive one."
