'Starry Eyed' songstress Ellie Goulding has admitted that her new record is different that what fans would expect from her and she has made it more "tribal".

Speaking to MTV News about 'Halcyon', which has just been released, Goulding explained that she wanted to travel a different route with her sound so experimented and came up with something that had a more "anthemic" appeal than the music on her debut, 'Lights':

"I've got more influences and different influences. I think it's a different sound. It is kind of a bit more tribal, a bit more anthemic." Referring to the record's lyrical content, she added: "In fact, if anything, I thought, 'this album I'm not going to talk about boys or talk about love, I'm going to talk about a different kind of love, I'm going to talk about other stuff.'"

"But as I started writing it, it was at a time in my life where that was happening and it ended up being an album about losing someone and breaking up with someone. But it was not my intent."
