I love her vocal delivery, but god, the part that Tinie raps bugs me so hard.
She said on Facebook it's the beginning of her new journey, so the new album is near I'm so excited, but also a bit scared, cuz first this song with tinie, she's in the studios with Calvin Harris ... I know she has always brought mainstream pop, but I hope she won't get too mainstream.
I love Lights but I'm surprised it took so long to catch on considering when it was released as a single and when she performed it on SNL. It also wasn't very successful in the UK compared to some of her other songs.
I love her cover of Hanging On also. Ellie is a treasure.
Thank you! Much better. It's amazing how much she has improved vocally. Stunning cover.

I think her performance on Ellen earlier this year helped a lot.
Yeah I'm surprised it took so long to get popular. Considering the rise of electronica/dance music, I thought it would've been faster since a lot of producers and DJ's were using a lot of samples from her songs. It was popular among the rave group, but took a while to jump the hurdle into the general public.
