Goulding announced the change this afternoon via Twitter, pointing to Higher Than Heaven's new release date of March 24.
"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," Goulding shared, confirming that imminent live dates are not affected.
The artist also revealed the album's next single to be titled "Like a Saviour," following the previously shared "Let It Die," the Big Sean-assisted "Easy Lover" and "All by Myself."
"It's coming soon, we've shot the video and it's one of my favourite videos I've ever done," Goulding added of the track, including a brief tease of the accompanying visuals in her Twitter thread.
Higher Than Heaven follows Goulding's 2020 album Brightest Blue. Find her complete announcement below.
