“Music plays such a massive part in my life,” Ellie Goulding tells Apple Music. “I’m a musician! Whether I’m out for a run, in the studio, at home, I’m around music all the time.” Full of invigorating pop and dance music, this particular playlist showcases the tracks she calls upon when she needs energizing. “It’s what I listen to when I’m running, in the gym, or even when I’m preparing for a gig,” she says. “It’s all songs that get me in the right frame of mind for the moment I’m in.” However, the singer-songwriter will also regularly make time for more unhurried and contemplative music. “I make a lot of pop and dance music, but there’s so much that I love,” she says. “In more challenging times or when I feel anxious, I like to listen to classical music; Ólafur Arnalds, Goldbæk, and Nils Frahm are just a few of my favorites at the moment.” Here, she talks us through a few highlights from her go-to motivational tracks.
