Biography Analysis – Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding is another artist similar to my artist, as she’s a British artist that writes about personal experiences and voices them through her songs and lyrics. She’s an artist whose lyrics are refreshing and describe ‘the highs and lows of love with her airy, gossamer voice.’
Like Adele, a large part of Goulding’s biography is written quotes which elaborate an original thesis. Throughout the entire content, she describes what her songs mean, and how she grew up in Hereford, a small town 16 miles east of the Welsh border. Her whole history is present, and once again, she uses an informal mode of address to talk to her readers through her biography, to initiate an intimate relationship between them.
Features of this biography that I will use in my own will be the mode of address and language as it creates a friendly, loving image of Ellie Goulding and despite being a celebrity, it describes her to be “one of them” instead of having the slightly intimidating celebrity status.
