August 11, 201212 yr I like it, I think. The instrumental after the chorus really makes it thoughI think it sounds a little bit overproduced in places. Still, its given me hope for the album, I think this could be another successful era for her, this US success will surely help, all we need now is a Make You Feel My Love style revival! :lol: (and please DON'T make it Your Song :( )
August 11, 201212 yr I really like this! It's very instant and quite different for her without being too far removed from being 'classic Ellie.' I'm not even a fan, but this song may have changed my mind!
August 11, 201212 yr Has anyone really not posted this yet? Yeah, Jahq did yesterday but it's stayed in the Halcyon thread after this thread split! I love the lyric video though, really matches the beat very well! Love the song so much! :wub:
August 12, 201212 yr Far too long for a pop song. I feel like I've been listening to it for 10 minutes, but 4 is still far too long! I can't say it's particularly memorable at this moment in time for me, either. I'm sure it'll grow on a few listens, but it's nowhere near the quality of the best tracks from Lights.

Loads of big hits are about 4 minutes... In fact the #1 Pop song on iTunes right now (Rita Ora) is longer than this?
August 12, 201212 yr Author Madonna's notably amazing Hung Up is 5:38 and is arguably her biggest single! (well it did have a radio edit but still) Edited August 12, 201212 yr by Liаm
August 12, 201212 yr I'm really pleased with this, I think it's exactly what she needed to come back with. It stands out from the sound of most releases at the moment, yet it sounds like it'd slot perfectly into the UK top 10. I wouldn't write off the chance of it doing well in the USA but, like someone said, it'd depend how kind radio is feeling there. Really looking forward to the album now, hoping it's big for her.
August 12, 201212 yr Loads of big hits are about 4 minutes... In fact the #1 Pop song on iTunes right now (Rita Ora) is longer than this? I know that, but it feels like they made it longer for the sake of being longer. I can see some radio stations completely demolishing it with edits. Also after a few listens, her voice seems to sound really strained throughout which is a shame. Edited August 12, 201212 yr by THEO.
August 16, 201212 yr I think this could be a big radio hit again in the US for her. I at least think this will go top 100.
August 17, 201212 yr I think it's alright...the only thing I don't really like is how the synths take over towards the end. I guess it's meant to be euphoric or something...but like someone said, the song is too plodding.
August 17, 201212 yr I'm so happy she's finally getting noticed. Although she doesn't fit my typical listening style, I think she has a great voice and is finally getting the attention she deserves. IMO, she has Bassnectar to think for that. ;) Edited August 17, 201212 yr by WDaleHerring
August 30, 201212 yr Just seen that the version of 'Anything Could Happen' on US iTunes is 4:46, when the version on the lyric video is 3:52! Does anyone know what's in the extra minute?

After 'I know it's gonna be' The first verse is repeated followed by anything could happen and I know its gonna be. But the verse is completely stripped down.
September 5, 201212 yr Ellie has uploaded the video for 'Anything Could Happen' to her VEVO page! 5hzgS9s-tE8
