NOTE T.O. :
Ellie Goulding is playing a show Sunday, March 27, 2011. Tickets are $17.50 @ The Great Hall. She is playing with a band called The Knocks from NY. BUY TICKETS HERE!

Conclusion: Ellie is probably the first artist I've listened to, to positively resemble Bjork's beautiful voice. Last person to win the Brit's Critic award was Florence & the Machine and we know how much good that did for her... I expect relatively the same amount of footway... Bjork dipped in UK greatness, what more can you ask for? See her live while her tickets are affordable! :)
