This is amazing. I need to listen to it a bunch more, but after the first listen I like every single track. And what's more is that Ellie's music always grows on me (no matter how much I like it on first listen).
Only sad thing is that there's no epic ballad a la Explosions.
Gonna listen soon. I'm so ready for this. I've never been a big fan of Ellie outside of ha singles but everything I've heard from Delirium thus far has really slayed me. I definitely have some high expectations.

I'm really staggered by this outcome. I mean, I've always liked Ellie, but I didn't expect this album to be THIS good. Most of the songs are amazing pop songs, and none of them is unlistenable (which is incredible considering this album consists of 16/15 tracks).
Can't stop listening to the album, it's her best. It's cohesive and it doesn't sound like what other pop stars are doing.
The only thing I dislike is that it's too long, this would have been a perfect tracklist IMO:
01. Something in the way you move
02. Keep on dancin'
03. On my mind
04. Codes
05. Holding on for life
06. Love me like you do
07. Don't need nobody
08. Army
09. Devotion
10. Scream it out
11. Paradise
12. Winner
I love I Do What I Love, it just sounds so unlike anything she's done before, that Middle Eastern sound is heavenly at the start and near the end is just the only thing I don't like is that it's too short. I love Paradise and Heal.
im confused @ devotion because i really like the verses and prechorus but the chorus just brings it down
i feel like she should've given it a bombastic chorus and it would've been better
