Any lingering doubts that Ellie Goulding is not ultra-cool should be squashed with the arrival of the “Goodness Gracious” music video, which shows the U.K. songstress dancing in light-up shoes, partying with futuristic-looking pals and even skateboarding with ease.
The video for the new “Halcyon Days” single, which was directed by Kinga Burza and debuted on Sunday (Jan. 5), finds Goulding lighting up the night with the same pop pyrotechnics that highlighted the “Burn” music video. This time, however, there are bleached shots of palm trees, fishtanks, sunsets and the singer’s friends hula-hooping, as well as the ultraviolet light-assisted makeup that popped up in Demi Lovato’s recent “Neon Lights” video.
