Ellie Goulding is an acquired taste, although one that millions of people across the world seem to have adapted to rather quickly. Her high pitch can, at times, be jarring and at others it can sound out of tune. Alas, for the most part the music she's released has been impressive and her unique style/sound is now very important in the pop landscape. When I heard she was going to be working on the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack I winced, however the result is sterling.
'Love Me Like You Do' is a thumping, anthemic power ballad with an enormous chorus and a strong vocal performance from the 'Burn' chanteuse. The hook is ridiculously catching and if this song has done anything it at least lends credibility to one small part of a disastrous piece of contemporary Hollywood cinema.
