Emeli Sandé has revealed in part her first new music since her 2012 UK 1 album ‘Our Version Of Events’.
“I wanted to release ‘Hurts’ first because it felt like everything I’d avoided saying for so long,” says Sandé, “It’s a real explosion. It’s everything I wish I’d said years and years ago. I didn’t want to hold anything back anymore.”
Hurts was written and co-produced by Mac & Phil (Miguel, Naughty Boy).
The second album is coming four years after ‘Our Version of Events’ gave Emilé the second biggest selling album of 2012 in the UK. “In retrospect, I was like a pressure cooker waiting to pop off. I had to stop and really look at myself and realise who I was. That’s been the biggest lesson for me, learning to feel comfortable in who I am and what I represent and what I stand for.”
‘Hurts’ and the rest of Sandé’s upcoming second album mark a brand new chapter in her life, “I’m proud of my first album and thankful for the experiences it gave me, but I’m so much happier with my new album and with where I am in life.”
