Since I met Starsmith, my producer, I really feel like Im making music because we write it together and produce it together. Ive got a proper involvement in the end product as opposed to just writing a song and finding someone else to produce it. – Ellie Goulding

You pick up loads of baggage with your first record with reaction to it from fans and critics. So I went to Ireland by myself for a couple of weeks with my guitar.
