Ellie Goulding has announced her fifth studio album, ‘Higher Than Heaven’ – listen to the new single ‘Let It Die’ below.The record is due to arrive on February 3, 2023 (pre-order/pre-save here), and follows on from the pop artist’s 2020 album ‘Brightest Blue’.Speaking about the forthcoming project, Goulding explained: “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.”She continued: “[‘Higher Than Heaven’ is] about being passionately in love. But it’s a hyper form of love, almost like a drug induced feeling.

It feels almost artificial and there’s the potential for a crash.”Watch the official video for ‘Let It Die’ here:Higher Than Heaven.
