It’s sad to know that the latest LP
sampler of the 2012 Brits Critic’s Choice winning singer/songwriter Emeli Sandé is only 20-25 seconds long. God knows that we need music from artists of the
likes of Emeli.
I can’t believe I slept on this
girl and only gave her a chance thanks to a friend. I’ve been addicted to “Next
To Me” ever since I heard it, with a classic Motown sound and meticulous lyrics.
Her album sounds like a bag of sophisticated urban-pop songs that has enough
pop elements sprinkled over them. I hear drum-and-bass, Motown, soul, folk, pop, acoustic,
everything that I need right now!
Was Amy Winehouse and Adele an
influence during the production of this album? If the world can hear this, I’m
sure we’ll have another global superstar.
Listen to the sampler below and be amazed.
