Piecing together footage her recent headlining tour, Ellie Goulding has released an explosive performance video for her heartfelt, emotional tune, "Explosions," the third single from her forthcoming sophomore studio album, "Halcyon," which has cemented her spot as an indie-tinged pop star with her life in warp speed. The 26-year-old UK electrapop darling gets rather personal by using actual footage from various trips and tour stops to compile the intimate visuals.
Goulding isn't afraid to show off her unique voice and powerful message. "Explosions" is tremulous, haunting, trippy, relaxing, enchanting, intense and delicate all at the same time, and is an infectiously smooth, laid back, melodically driven ballad that does a great job at showing off her ethereal vocals soar throughout the emotional song. “Explosions” is also a strong moving ballad that strikes you with elegant keys, enchanting strings, soaring choir hymns with Goulding's heavenly vocals.
As the title implies, "Explosions" is a powerfully stirring track with some brilliantly-written lyrics. The song has a deep storyline with a hook that bursts out with a strong piano accompaniment. Goulding penned this strings-laden ballad about her father, Arthur, who divorced her mum when she was five. The "Lights" songstress sings about how he was missing as she grew up and how he does not have her in his life anymore. The video is simple in concept and execution, but this helps to further demonstrate that "Explosions" is a beautiful and emotional experience all on its own. It's all about her music and her life.
Filmed on the road, and comprised of live performance footage from several different shows, the video is a cleanly shot of Goulding bearing her soul on stage in stark black-and-white effort, which showcases Goulding performing the powerful tune at Terminal 5 in New York City, intertwined with other shows, and capturing a diverse range of emotion and highlighting her spirited performance style. Scattered throughout these performance clips are also shots depicting life on the road from pre-show rituals and backstage with her band to tour bus traveling.
