The 27-year-old singer-songwriter has started work on her third studio album, which will serve as the follow-up to 2012's Halcyon, reported Digital Spy.
"It's kind of hard to tell at the moment. I've done a few songs that I'm really, really happy with. I kind of don't want to give it away so soon! I feel like if I start talking about it now, I'll put it in my own head and it'll affect the process," Goulding said.
"I'm excited about the direction. I think it's easy to do something new and crazy, but I don't really over think it when I get in the studio. I start a lot of stuff on guitar and I always have someone who plays piano with me.
