When Ellie Goulding took the stage on Sunday night at the Fillmore Silver Spring, she looked effortlessly chic in black leather shorts and a grey t-shirt.
This wardrobe choice allowed her to have a fairly physical performance, dancing and running around the stage or standing at her drum set front and center, depending on what each song called for.
She played a balanced and eclectic set that showcased her vocal talents in both slow ballads and up-tempo dance songs. I was particularly fond of her cover of Elton John’s “Your Song” and her performance of the title track to her most recent album, Halcyon. Of course the other crowd pleasers included “Starry Eyed,” “Anything Can Happen,” and “Lights.”
