She told The Sun newspaper, “I’m always writing new music. I think my natural state is to always come up with ideas and I’ll get in the studio at some point. Since I wrote Higher Than Heaven a while ago during lockdown, I’m very ready to write new music. I’ve always wanted to compose music for films, so at the moment I’m focusing on more classical.” 

Goulding’s bold decision to explore a genre of music that is not quite common in today’s music industry, and a step away from the standard formula of ‘singer-songwriter ‘pop. She is determined to prove that her talent creativity and passion for writing and performing extend beyond the pop and electronic music that has become her mainstay.

Goulding recently teamed up with Calvin Harris for the third time for their song, “Miracle” from her Miracle album. She admitted that the trance track came “out of the blue” but she almost missed the opportunity for a collaboration by playing it a bit “too cool”. She explained, “This one came slightly out of the blue. He said that he had the track and immediately thought of me for it. Calvin doesn’t like to mess around so he sent the song in the next message. I accidentally played it a bit too cool and didn’t reply for a few days so he thought I wasn’t into it.”

Goulding remains committed to creating a full album of original classical music. Her announcement of the project has been met with positive responses from fans and critics alike, which leaves her fans intrigued about her capability in creating her new sound.

She admitted that the creation of her classical album has been a rather difficult process than her other albums. The most difficult thing in her process was mastering elements or techniques of classical music which has been the biggest challenge she has taken on musically. Regardless of the big challenges, she nonetheless remains hopeful that the creation of her new album will be epic and beautiful.

In speaking about his latest chart success, Andrea Bocelli says to The Daily Express, “I am extremely touched to learn that people have responded so positively to my new album, which of course is a deeply personal project for me. Music is a universal language and gives us the ability to connect with one another in a way that is quite profound. ” The album which was co produced by Steven Mercurio and Haydn Bendall, also features a previously unreleased track by famous Italian composer Ennino Morricone. As well as the duets on the album, Bocelli also composed new versions of, ‘Ave Maria,’ ‘Amazing Grace,’ and ‘Padre Nostro.’
