Last week I posted Ellie Goulding’s official debut single, “Under The Sheets,” set to be released by Neon Gold. Here are a couple of covers she recorded before getting picked up by Neon Gold. Let me just say that this is a legit way to get attention. Something you working-on-it musicians ought to take note of. It could just be that I like covers, or that I’ve seen it happen many times before. But that’s just my two cents.
From what I gathered, Ellie Goulding has covered Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead,” Sam Sparro’s “Black and Gold” and Bon Iver’s “The Wolves (Act I and II).” The song selection itself speaks volumes about Ellie Goulding, not only as a musician, but also as a music fan. And I’m delighted to say that Ellie Goulding sounds just as comfortable covering one of her electro-pop peers as she sounds covering a cabin-dwelling Northwestern Wisconsinite, lo-fi layered vocals and all. Respect.

+mp3 there
I first I thought she was just another Little Boots, La Roux wannabe, but covering Bon Iver? Major bonus points.
Wow, I'm really into her “Sleepyhead” cover. This might be better than the acoustic cover you posted a few months ago.
She is amazing, I love her.
