Many international vocalists lose their accent when they sing. Perhaps that’s why I find Ellie Goulding’s voice so alluring, captivating, and enchanting – because she doesn’t lose her accent in song.

I have to say, she sounds exactly like she does on her albums (Lights, released in 2010, and her latest, Halcyon, released 2012) if not better. It was no wonder that she was asked to perform for the private party following the wedding reception of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. YES. THEM!

This UK sensation, influenced by Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Ani DeFranco, and Björk to name a few, played to a SOLD OUT crowd at Showbox SODO on Monday February 4th.

To her fans’ delight, her set list was extensive, and the crowd would have gladly stayed to hear more. Her tour continues on the west coast through February 12, and then travels to Singapore and Europe until May 4th, with many shows already SOLD OUT.
