Britiske Ellie Goulding fik sig et gedigent <i>break through</i> i Amerika med sin elektro-pop-rock på "Halcyon" i 2012. Nu genudgives albummet med 10 nye melodier i en såkaldt <i>expanded edition</i>, der ikke lægger nye sten til Gouldings musikalske billede, men konsoliderer hendes nye stjernestatus. Med herpå er også top 10-hittet "Burn".

"This deluxe Halcyon, with 10 new tracks, confirms Goulding is doing her best work on clubby tracks with luminescent titles. "Burn" and "Flashlight" bob alluringly on her springy soprano, and "Goodness Gracious" (cowritten by fun.'s Nate Ruess) ventures boldly into Graceland. But when Goulding banishes the beats on "Hearts Without Chains" and "How Long Will I Love You," the hooks are too flimsy to hold the weight of her heavy emotion".
