Ellie Goulding On Her Joyful New Album, Motherhood, Pearl Jam And More
Baltin: The person who explained what you were just describing to me better than anyone was Barry Manilow. He talked about how in the '70s he would play these huge arenas, and then he would go back to his hotel and he had no friends and he would go sit in the room by himself after playing to 10 and 20,000 people. And it was the loneliest feeling in the world. Unfortunately for musicians on the road it's a very isolated lifestyle.
Baltin: Artists are by nature perfectionist. So you feel like what you're doing is not good enough, even if everybody else likes it. A lot of artists don't know what other artists necessarily thinkGoulding: Maybe it doesn't f**king matter, what people think about me.
Goulding: I am lucky, and that's one thing that crushes my imposter syndrome. That the best producers in the world want to work with me, Always do, always up for it. And I get to pick people I want to work with. And artist wise, there are loads of singers now at this point I'd love to work with. I'd love to do something with Tems. I think she's really got such an incredible voice. I can listen to her all day long. I've always loved Charli XCX.
Goulding: Yeah, there's one thing that has to be sacred, which is when I'm in the process of making songs, I can't let those thoughts creep into my head."What are people gonna think about this?" And especially when I was making, now I was pregnant, so all I could think about was,"I know it's quite a big thing, suddenly being pregnant and it being a surprise." And then just launching myself back into writing as if nothing had happened.
