The 'Let It Die' singer has released her brand new collaboration with Calvin Harris to tide fans over while they are waiting for her delayed new studio album to come out.
- March 11, 2023
AceShowbiz - Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris have unleashed their jungle dance track "Miracle". The singer and DJ - who happen to be ex-lovers - have followed up 2013's dance-pop tune "Need Your Love" and 2014's "Outside" with the new floor-filler.
The chart-topping pair's latest tune was released after Ellie was forced to postpone her new album for a second time. The "Let It Die" hitmaker - whose fifth studio album "Higher Than Heaven" was initially set to be released in February before being pushed back to March 24 - has been delayed again to April 7, this time due to issues in "sourcing" material for physical formats.
"As you know, making these products as green as possible is incredibly important to me so we've worked really hard to stick to that promise. As a result and due to delays in sourcing these products, we have to push back the release ever so slightly to April 7 just so we can get these beautiful products to you as soon as humanly possible. Thank you ever so much for your patience and I love you all. Ellie x (sic)," she wrote in a lengthy statement on Instagram.
When she first delayed the album - the follow-up to 2020's "Brightest Blue" - Ellie teased "some exciting opportunities" which she is looking forward to sharing with her supporters. She said in January, "To my incredible fans - I'm sorry to announce that we're delaying the release of Higher Than Heaven to March 24. I know you've all been so patient with me but we've had some exciting opportunities appear behind the scenes which I cannot wait to share with you in due course."
Speaking last year, Ellie reflected on the project as a whole and explained how the pandemic had impacted the writing and recording process. She said, "There was definitely a darkness about [the past two years] that was palpable in the studio, with everyone having gone through it differently. I think for that reason, nobody wanted to sit and agonise over some relationship or some drama. So that's how this album came together."
Meanwhile, Ellie has just announced an Amazon concert special. The 36-year-old singer performed at the breathtaking Royal Botanical Gardens in Richmond, London for "Monumental: Ellie Goulding at Kew Gardens", which arrives on Amazon Freevee on March 31.
