Double Brit Award-winner Ellie Goulding is the latest artist to join Ken in the Radio 2 Piano Room at Maida Vale, performing three tracks live including a Cara Dillon cover.

Ellie first came to widespread public attention in 2010, winning the BBC Sound Of poll and the Brit Critics Choice Award in the same year. Since then, she's established herself as one of the UK's biggest pop exports, with huge international hits like Love Me Like You Do, Your Song and Light.

In March, Ellie will release her fifth album Higher Than Heaven, her first LP in three years.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and each artist will be performing three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known tracks, and a classic cover version from another artist - with members of the BBC Concert Orchestra accompanying.

Plus, Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch chooses his Tracks of My Years. Formed in the mid-90s, the idea behind the group was to stay on a small scale, to keep it as a project and not let the band run their lives, planning to release two albums and break up.

Instead they have delivered multiple classic albums over the years including like If You're Feeling Sinister and The Boy with the Arab Strap, and latest LP Late Developers - a recent Radio 2 Album of the Week - has given us new single I Don’t Know What You See in Me.

Stuart's first two choices are from Stevie Wonder and AC/DC.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
