Richly melodic, classically powerful and retro-futurist, the deferred medical student’s songs are as interesting and as individualistic as she is. Her intuitive intelligence, self awareness, and empowered honesty is hugely apparent in her lyrics. Emeli’s love for and understanding of artists like Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Roberta Flack and Lauryn Hill are obvious, loud and proud.
Smart, sussed, talented, entrepreneurial, shiningly engaging in the flesh, utterly transfixing on stage and unforgettable in her words and melodies, Emeli Sandé is the epitome of the brilliant modern artist. If you are in any doubt as to the immense talent this lady has, then tune in to see her first ever live TV appearance on Later With Jools Holland on 20th and 23rd September.
