Ellie Goulding Reveals She Can’t Recall Recording Higher Than Heaven After Becoming a Mother

Ellie Goulding has admitted she has little recollection of creating her 2023 album Higher Than Heaven, saying she felt like a “robot” after becoming a mother for the first time.

The Burn singer, who worked on her fifth studio record roughly a year after welcoming her son Arthur in 2021, said she returned to the studio before she felt fully ready and now struggles to remember much of the process.

“Music and performing is the thing that keeps me going. I have two children now so the first time I went back in the studio, I was kind of a robot. I made this 2023 album called Higher Than Heaven and I don't remember it,” Ellie said during an appearance on Later... With Jools Holland, according to the Daily Star.

“Any woman that's had a baby can relate to that postnatal phase of, 'What the hell just happened to me?' So I wrote all this music,” she continued. “Someone heard a song from it the other day and was like, 'I thought this was AI, that's the new thing.' And I was like, kind of, because I was like a robot and didn't know what I was doing for a time.”

The Love Me Like You Do artist, 39, recently welcomed her second child, daughter Iris, in March and is preparing to release her upcoming album I Know Too Much in September, only six months after giving birth.

She said that returning to music this time has felt noticeably easier compared to her earlier experience.

“Now I'm much more human and I have done it already, so this time around I'm a lot more equipped to get back into that mindset,” she added.

Goulding shares her son Arthur with her former husband Caspar Jopling, and daughter Iris with her partner, American actor Beau Minniear.

She released her latest single Black Prada Dress on Friday, with the full album set to arrive on 4 September.

Perrie Edwards Brands Jesy Nelson ‘Difficult’ in New Comments

Perrie Edwards has described her former Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson as “difficult”.

Jesy exited the girl group in December 2020, saying at the time that being in the public eye had taken a toll on her mental health.

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Perrie criticised Jesy for not taking responsibility for her own actions when she left the group.

"What annoys me is the most, and again I have to be careful how I say this as I don't want to seem like a b**ch, but for me, what upsets me the most is when situations like this happen, when the other person doesn't take any accountability, that boils my blood," Perrie said.

"I am not blaming everything on you, I am not saying that she's this f**king monster and everything was her fault and blah, blah, blah but take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult, you did have difficult moments."

After Jesy’s exit, Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall continued as a trio before eventually going their separate ways to focus on solo projects in 2022.

The 34 year old also claimed in her documentary Life After Little Mix earlier this year that she often felt isolated within the group and said the other members did not fully support her during her struggles.

Addressing those claims, Perrie, 32, pushed back and said the group did support Jesy.

"Don't put the blame on me and make me out to be something I am not. Yes, I am not perfect and I might not have been there enough or I could have done better I suppose," Perrie fumed.

"But I thought what I was doing was enough, I thought that I tried everything and so then to sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, 'I wasn't supported', you were though... you were, so just, again, take some accountability."

Jesy has previously said she has not been in contact with the group since she left.

When asked whether a reunion with Jesy could ever happen, Perrie suggested it was very unlikely.

"Part of me wanted to (reconcile the friendship), until the documentary (came out), and then part of me withdrew again," she admitted.

"This is the thing: I am not a horrible person, I haven't got a band bone in my body, but I can cut you off. I can cut you out of my life like that, if you upset me and hurt me in a way, there's not really any going back," she continued. "I just don't have that the energy for it and as much as I will always love her I don't think I can hack that energy in my space."
