'Starry Eyed' hitmaker Ellie Goulding has revealed that she has begun the creative process for her next record and is really happy with some of the tracks she has written so far. 

The songstress has confirmed that she has now started work on her third studio album, which will be the follow-up to 2012's 'Halcyon', and told reporters at a Q&A session for the Bacardi Triangle music event in Puerto Rico that she's excited about the project:

"It's kind of hard to tell at the moment. I've done a few songs that I'm really, really happy with. I kind of don't want to give it away so soon! I feel like if I start talking about it now, I'll put it in my own head and it'll affect the process."

"I'm excited about the direction. I think it's easy to do something new and crazy, but I don't really overthink it when I get in the studio. I start a lot of stuff on guitar and I always have someone who plays piano with me."
