Ellie Goulding announces her new album details and release date
Ellie Goulding has revealed her sixth studio album is called I Know Too Much and will be released in three months’ time. The new LP will come out in September and is her first one since 2023’s Higher Than Heaven.
Ellie, 39, has been working with a producer and multi-instrumentalist called Jack Rochon for the album. In a recent interview she said: “We’ve recorded hundreds of songs together, and I loved the freedom of exploring different sounds, feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It felt really organic and honest, like journaling through music.”
Ellie will also be releasing her brand new single ‘Black Prada Dress’, lifted from her upcoming album, this coming Friday, June 5. She announced all the news on social media today. Singer Ellie debuted her single, Black Prada Dress, at BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Sunderland, North East England.
Speaking about the track, Ellie said: “There’s not one definitive experience that inspired it. It’s directed at that negative, critical voice bringing you down. And that voice could be your own, internal voice — that self-critical, destructive one.
“I feel like we all have one of those, just like we have different versions of ourselves. I love the honesty of it, the rawness, and I hope people can connect to it in their own way.”
The artist’s forthcoming LP is also set to addresses her separation from ex-husband Caspar Jopling in 2024 after five years of marriage.
Ellie, has son Arthur, four, with Jopling and previously dubbed this LP a “divorce album”. In January, the Love Me Like You Do performer explained to Nylon magazine: “It had always been the goal to start this album. I didn’t know it was going to be a divorce album, but that’s the way it started heading.
“When I married my ex-husband, I thought it was for life. That will never go away, and that will always stay with me. There are some songs that are necessary for me to acknowledge that time in my life and to be respectful of it. Then there were some songs that were extremely reactionary and sad that I felt were good to do in the moment, but don’t serve me long-term.”
Ellie – who gave birth to her second child, Iris, with her boyfriend, Beau Minniear, in March – said that her changed emotions are reflected in the upcoming album.
She said: “It’s so funny that the process over the years is so indicative of how I was feeling at the time. The songs have gone from so dark and angry, to cynical, to funny, to coming out the other side, to meeting a new guy and being excited.”
* Ellie’s new album I Know Too Much is out September 4, new single Black Prada Dress is out on Friday.
