In today's blog post, I'd like to draw your attention to an album I recently discovered on Spotify. I suppose most of you are still familiar with Emelie Sandé whose debut album was released in 2012. Our Vision of Events was as remarkable as it was inspiring. I remember Sandé's Read All About It (Part III) being played on radio stations all day long and I absolutely fell in love with it. Now, the Scottish singer and songwriter has come up with a new LP called Long Live The Angels. Its first single Hurts (released on 16th September '16) gave fans a first taste of what to expect from the new album and it throws you right into the arena.
Long Live The Angels is an emotional rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through love, hate, despair, sadness, hope and the unbreakable desire to live. What I find most striking about this soulful and incredibly touching collection of music is that - even though Long Live The Angels is above all a break-up album - Sandé writes lyrics that apply to every obstacle you may have to overcome in your life. No matter what crises you may have to face, I assure you that there is hope and guidance in these words. Long Life The Angels is an overall masterpiece 💖
In terms of sound, Sandé has stayed true to her roots in pop and soul music with a little bit of gospel, a choir and electronic vibes on top. Furthermore, her Zambian heritage is slightly more audible than it used to be. That being said, I'd like to take you with me on a musical journey that I enjoyed from end to end 🎶
So, what do you think about the album? As always - if you'd like to share your thoughts in the comments down below, I'd love to read from you 😉 I wish you all a wonderful day!
Love, Sarah
