Is Ellie Goulding the most generic artist out right now? With super simplistic lyrics even for her collabs and cookie cutter dance-pop/sythpop beats that she uses over and over, does she take the Heavy Crown?

Lmao, no.

Listen to Halcyon and Lights.

Her voice is too original for that

I have. Her voice is unique, but her songs could be anyone's.

Not if you listen to Lights and Halcyon. Only Halcyon Days had generic songs like Burn.

She's generic now

Absolutely not.

Halcyon is not as generic as Katy Perry and Kesha. It's more electronically influenced.

Let's wait for a new album first.

Well, if you're judging only by her successful singles and hits, then she might be.

But she isn't overall.

And what about her biggest hit LMLYD?

I love her but is so generic, i love it tho

She does Generic to sell her albums that are anything but. Halcyon is absolutely spectacular.

Not when Katy is releasing gems like Dark Horse/WOA and Kesha has definitely has her own lyrical style.

Aren't most artists' hits generic, because they are safe and appeal to a mass audience? Her album tracks are different.

Only/mostly her collabs with s**tty DJs like Calvin Harris are generic, the rest of her music it's pretty unique and she's the only one that makes it sound organic if that makes sense, bye.

She already said that E3 will be with lighter music and poppy tho

Shes become generic because shes become so commercialized I hear her in like all the tv ads.

She kinda sold out, didn't she?

I don't know how her music can get any lighter.

Lol no. Halcyon and Bright Lights are far from being super generic

Halcyon is one of the best albums ever. I wouldn't call her generic - but her latest singles have certainly been more mainstream and she's been headed in that direction. I hope album 3 is just as unique as Halcyon though.
