Songstress Ellie Goulding has opened up about her forthcoming new album and revealed that while she has enough material to create a full third record, she wants to start from scratch. 

During an interview with the Rolling Stone, the 'Burn' hitmaker explained that she wants to work on new songs in one time frame and then use them to create a tracklisting that's born from the same period:

"I have songs I could easily put on a third album, but I want to start it completely fresh and new. I feel like I need to be in a very different place to start a new album, so they need to be all done together, the same way that I did 'Halcyon'."

"I could easily put one together with songs I have, but that's definitely not what I'm going to do. There's a few people I want to work with around the world, so I don't know how that's going to work." 

Goulding also recently told MTV News that she plans to focus on recording in 2014 and wants to experiment: "I'm really going to start my new album in January; I'm going to knuckle down and try something new this time around. I always want to be doing something different and experimenting, and I don't really want to do the same thing, I''m kind of superstitious about it."
