I don\u2019t have anyone to answer to. In certain situations, you\u2019re trying to please someone, but for the first time ever, I don\u2019t feel like I have to do that. I\u2019m just making music that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n NME\u00a0<\/i>gave \u2018Higher Than Heaven\u2019 four stars back in 2023<\/a>, noting\u00a0that it \u201cmay not be strictly personal, but it definitely sounds like an album crafted with care, skill and no small amount of flair\u201d.<\/p>\n Goulding celebrated being honoured with an MBE at the start of the year<\/a>\u00a0by sharing praise for the women working on climate protection, and she is\u00a0also scheduled to appear on the current season of\u00a0Later\u2026with Jools Holland<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n Other names on the bill at Radio 1\u2019s Big Weekend this year include\u00a0Olivia Dean<\/a>,\u00a0Lola Young<\/a>,\u00a0Fatboy Slim<\/a>,\u00a0Louis Tomlinson<\/a>,\u00a0Zara Larsson<\/a>,\u00a0Niall Horan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0CMAT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
