Ellie Goulding Begins Promotion of New Album After Birth of Daughter

She says motherhood has left her better equipped to work and the September record will confront the breakdown of her marriage.

Overview

  • Goulding performed a new song, "Black Prada Dress," on BBC’s Later... With Jools Holland as she kicked off promotion for I Know Too Much.
  • The singer said returning to music has been easier after welcoming daughter Iris in March, adding that postnatal struggles left her feeling like a "robot" during earlier studio work.
  • She told the programme she does not remember making her 2023 album Higher Than Heaven because she recorded it during a difficult postnatal phase.
  • Reporting describes the September album as Goulding’s most honest yet and says several songs were written around her public 2024 split from her ex-husband, which she has framed as a key theme.
  • Alongside the promotion, coverage noted Goulding recently received an MBE for services to biodiversity and climate action, marking parallel public recognition of her environmental work.
