Developments: 2. In late July 2026, British singer Ellie Goulding issued the single “4 Seasons,” a track set against the backdrop of Florence’s Four Seasons Hotel and framed as an early‑love narrative with partner Beau Minniear, the father of her infant daughter. The release was noted alongside media attention to Minniear’s past criminal record and Goulding’s recent split from ex‑husband Caspar Jopling. A day later, Goulding announced that the song is the second promotional single from her forthcoming sixth studio album, “I Know Too Much,” slated for a September 2025 release on Polydor Records. She disclosed that the album was crafted with Canadian producer Jack Rochon, after a prolific writing session that yielded hundreds of tracks narrowed to ten. The single’s promotion included a performance on BBC’s “Later… With Jools Holland,” and Goulding described the album’s theme as an exploration of how excessive knowledge can constrain freedom. Together, the snapshots trace the rollout of “4 Seasons” from its personal‑story debut to its role in the broader album campaign, highlighting both the song’s romantic inspiration and the strategic rollout of Goulding’s first record in three years. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: Ellie Goulding releases new single “4 Seasons” ahead of album I Know Too Much Ellie Goulding unveiled the single “4 Seasons” and announced her sixth album “I Know Too Much,” due 4 Sept 2025, produced with Jack Rochon and released via Polydor Records. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ellie-goulding-releases-new-single-4-seasons-ahead-of-album-i-know-too-much ### 2026-07-30: Ellie Goulding releases '4 Seasons' amid romance with Beau Minniear Ellie Goulding's new single '4 Seasons' celebrates her budding romance with Beau Minniear, whose criminal past was recently disclosed. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ellie-goulding-releases-4-seasons-amid-romance-with-beau-minniear --- Cite as: Ellie Goulding “4 Seasons” release.
