The fact that the British singer Ellie Goulding out Dallas ' South Side Lounge on the night of Tuesday - months in advance, no less - would suggest that it is a mainstream pop sweetheart. But that's not the whole truth.

Goulding soaring to fame came from vocal accreditations and a couple of albums, Lights (2010) and Halcyon (2012), which co - exist in an intersection of pop melody and electronic gateway. Despite lacking a breadth of original material, see the pieces fall performance Goulding in place Tuesday showed that she is a well rounded artist who deserves his success in style.



Singer Los Angeles Kassia Conway, known simply by his last name, set the tone for the evening with an energetic game merge pop and rock of the 90s. Backed by a three - coated neon bandmates Conway oozed confidence in a black, tight dress while singing as a next generation Gwen Stefani.

Goulding took a more balanced and powerful approach, largely due to his four-piece band and three-piece suit vowel, which effectively took the sonic weight of the show. Goulding filled in the details, deftly scales up and swaying solos on guitar and tom-tom stand.

The concert began with the explosion of the “Figure 8" and " Goodness Gracious" before the singer got into acoustic versions of "Guns and Horses " and his latest release " Beating Heart" , from the soundtrack of the film divergent. After two great tapas - “tessellation " from Alt -J and Elton John "Your Song" - the concert tempo accelerated, culminating with the biggest hits of Goulding . "Lights," "You My Everything" and “Burn"

The audience was ecstatic at the concert two hours after each command Goulding. For " Anything can happen " songstress enlisted the help of an assistant named John, who appointed to lead the dance party after seeing it bounce endlessly through the last 15 songs. Other topics, such as "Starry Eyed” and “My Blood " became a harmonious dialogue , as the public called cat lyrics and vocal inflections imitated Goulding.

Fan Madi Adams may have been the strongest member of the entire crowd. At 10 years old, Madi knew the words to all the songs, including two covers. He could not explain why she so loved Goulding - just laughing and smiling in a shy guy - but maybe that's how we felt leaving Goulding fascinating show.
