Video: Ellie Goulding, Anything Could Happen

Ellie Goulding Anything Could Happen VideoIn the wake of “Lights,” Ellie Goulding has some serious hype to live up to, but to these ears her new single does just that. “Anything Could Happen” is the lead single off her forthcoming album, Halycon, and it contains plenty of memorable hooks, inspired arrangements, and upbeat pop sensibilities to put it on par with her breakout material. If anything, this cut offers a more mature exploration of the electronic backdrop we’ve heard from her before, now with a glossy official video to boot. Above, check out the brand new clip for “Anything Could Happen,” in which Goulding brings the tune to a surreal beach setting where cryptic, symbolic images abound.
