 Welsh singer Ellie Goulding is [ 2010-5-20 16:28:41 | 星期四  | mywatches1440 ] Byline: Catherine Evans MUSIC industry insiders have tipped Welsh newcomer Ellie Goulding to be one of the hottest acts of 2010 after the 22 year old landed a Brit Award yesterday. Up-and-coming Goulding, who has yet to make the top 40, joined the likes of Chasing Pavements singer Adele and Florence and the Machine by bagging the Brits Critics' Choice Award. Goulding, who only signed to record giant Polydor a couple of months ago, follows in the footsteps of a plethora of successful Welsh female artists ranging from Mary Hopkin and Shirley Bassey to Cerys Matthews and Duffy. And the singer, originally from Knighton, Powys, is being tipped to become Wales' latest star. Lisa Matthews, of the Welsh Music Foundation, said: "It's wonderful that someone who talks so passionately about her childhood in Wales has achieved such high acclaim. "In the same way that Wales has inspired her, Ellie's win will encourage Welsh artists and the Welsh music scene." As Goulding replica bag wholesale makes her mark on the music industry, there have been inevitable comparisons with other female singer-songwriters, something she has previously laughed off. "Being compared to other female artists isn't really annoying, it's silly - the weirdest one is Cerys Matthews," she has said. "I know why I was compared to her though, it's because I'm from Wales and they were like 'who can we find that's from Wales to compare to Ellie Goulding and slightly alternative? Not Tom Jones. Duffy? No, I know - Cerys Matthews from that band Catatonia - Perfect'. "Alternatively, I've had Kate Nash, Joanna Newsom, Martha Wainwright, Imogen Heap. The list is endless. "But if someone likes one of those singers they might be more inclined to check out my music." The virtually unknown singer will collect her award live at the Brits in February, after beating other shortlisted acts, Delphic and Marina And The Diamonds. She will perform at the Brits nomination launch at The IndigO2 on January 18, which will be televised on ITV2. The award is for emerging acts who music critics and radio and television music supremos believe will make a breakthrough replica tag heuer watches in 2010. It is open to signed acts who release their debut albums in the coming year. Goulding's debut single Under The Sheets has been played on BBC Radio 1, and she has also appeared on Later with Jools Holland. Despite securing a Record of the Week slot on BBC Radio 1 the following day and gaining momentum before its release on November 16, the single peaked at only number 53 in the embroidered patches charts. However, she has had further exposure from support slots alongside Little Boots. Goulding's debut album is out in March, with a new single to be released a week after the Brit Awards. Speaking shortly after her award was announced, Ellie said: "When I found out I had a little squeal, I had a little cry and I had a little fall down. "I didn't believe it at first, but now that it's sunk in I am delighted and utterly honoured to have been given this award. "I couldn't be more happy and thankful to everyone right now."
