Pop music events: Ellie Goulding at the Wiltern

Ellie Goulding’s fine sophomore disc demonstrates why serenading Wills and Kate with a version of Elton John’s “Your Song” was so suited to her talents. On “Halcyon” she marries thoughtful ruminations on young love to whooshing synth riffs and hard-edged machine beats; the album claims electronic dance music as the natural province of sensitive singer-songwriters. The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. Sat. $35. https://www.wiltern.com.
