BONUS: Ellie Goulding Tells Mashable About Her Instagram Music Video
Leading up to this month's album launch, Goulding unleashed a lyric video for Halcyon's lead single, "Anything Could Happen," which was infused with fan-submitted Instagram photos.
"I actually watched it and got quite emotional just because the amount of effort people put into it," she told Mashable after pulling out a smartphone to take an Instagram snap of a New York City sunset during Microsoft and HP's "ARTIST #TALK" event in September.
Goulding said she was surprised that fans submitted more than 1,200 Instagram photos for the video (watch below). Goulding had just joined the photo-sharing site in June before she asked fans to show her some Instagram love.
Goulding's debut album, Lights, reached number one the UK Albums Chart in 2010. Halcyon is her follow-up.
