Delirium is the follow-up to 2012’s Halcyon, which cemented Goulding’s status as a global artist.

The new album is It is available to pre-order now and the first taste of it, the new single On My Mind, was released this week.

“A part of me views this album as an experiment – to make a big pop album,” she said.

“I made a conscious decision that I wanted it to be on another level.

“It can be describing a really happy, crazy state, or it can be the complete opposite.

“I’m constantly in a state of delirium.”
