“I know you’ve all been so patient with me but we’ve had some exciting opportunities appear behind the scenes which I cannot wait to share with you in due course.”
Clocking in at 11 tracks, with a 16-song Deluxe Edition, the album also features the singles All by Myself and Let It Die.
Of the album, Ellie said in a statement: “There was definitely a darkness about [the past two years] that was palpable in the studio, with everyone having gone through it differently.
“I think for that reason, nobody wanted to sit and agonise over some relationship or some drama. So that’s how this album came together.”
She added: “[‘Higher Than Heaven’ is] about being passionately in love. But it’s a hyper form of love, almost like a drug induced feeling. It feels almost artificial and there’s the potential for a crash.”
‘Higher Than Heaven’ is out March 24 and available to pre order now.
