"Halcyon Days" is Ellie Goulding's second album that was released in August of 2013. Several years later, this record still stands out, and is sure to be impactful throughout time, for those who are familiar with her work. For me, it will always hold a special place in my heart. The genre is most closely [...]

Now, this is going to sound ironic, coming from someone who loves Halloween and all things creepy. But the truth is -- I have always been [...]
