Having already conquered her native Britain with the best-selling debut album of 2010, Ellie has also won over American audiences and garnered rave reviews for Lights. The album is, as the New York Times put it, "a happy car crash of signifiers: part electro-pop, part soul, part blues, part indie rock, part folk that mixes heartfelt emotion with other-worldly atmospherics." TheLos Angeles Times raved: "plenty of ethereal hooks, the album carries a dark overcast with a handful of emotionally raw tracks."Rolling Stone called Lights, "sweet, sexed-up folktronica" and Entertainment Weekly affirms "anthemic dance-pop confessional." The track-listing for Live at Amoeba San Francisco is as follows: "Introduction" Ellie Goulding's upcoming shows with Katy Perry:
