Ellie Goulding has revealed that she hopes to release her sophomore album by the end of the summer.
The 'Guns and Horses' singer, who released her debut LP Lights in 2010, said that she is still in the process of writing material for the new record.
Asked about her progress on the upcoming release, Goulding told HelloGiggles: "Well, I'm writing it - I've been writing the last six months or so and I still have a long way to go. I'm really excited for the new album to come out, which I hope will be the end of the summer in the UK.
"We'll see. But I'm quite happy about the new stuff I've been writing and I'm really looking forward to getting it out. It's about time, as well!"
The 25-year-old also divulged more details on the type of album she hopes to make, which she previously confessed would be "definitely different" to Lights.
"It is quite different, yeah, but it's because I'm still really getting stuff together. I think I just want less restriction, I want my album to breathe a bit more," Goulding explained.
"I want to concentrate on my voice and my lyrics. I guess raw might be the word, it might be a bit more raw. But I want to flex my voice. I want to trust it for this next record."
