Before embarking on her own successful solo career, the immense talents of Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé were tapped by such artists as Professor Green, Devlin and Solange Knowles for whom she made guest vocal appearances in the recording studio and on stage. What’s more, the talented Ms. Sandé also penned tunes for the likes of Rihanna, Leona Lewis and Cheryl Cole. The whole world took notice, however, when Emeli performed showstopping solo performances at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics. Now, it’s her time in the spotlight, as her eclectic jazz-soul pop hits like “Daddy,” “Heaven,” and “Next to Me” made huge waves in Europe and the States, and her concerts showcasing her powerful voice and skills on the keys have fans clamoring for tickets to catch her on tour. Her debut album Our Version of Events became the U.K.’s top-selling album in 2012, and in that same year, she took home Brit Awards for Album of the Year and Female Solo Artist. Emeli Sandé names musical greats such as Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone as major influences, while her own music has been compared to Alicia Keys, Adele, Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars.
Emeli's album is fantastic, but her voice is so wel suited for live performance in small venues. It's there that her the music and lyrics have new, emotional life breathed into them. Ams o ahppy he's getting more air play in the U.S. and will be coming back to the n-y-c in June!
Emeli is the most original artist of 2012. Her songwriting , vocals and diverse arrangements are even greater in a live show. A passionate talent who makes every syllable count.
I've never been to a concert where the singer sounds just like how the recorded track sounds, maybe even better. Absolutely spectacular.
So freaking good! I think everyone would benefit from seeing her. This woman is so wise and is not just a great performer, but seems like a great person. I am very thankful that I had the chance see her perform. I was addicted to her album before I saw her, but now even more addicted.
