“Long Live the Angels,” Emeli Sandé’s second studio album, arrived at number two on the UK album chart in 2016. Her extraordinary talent and accomplishments were honored once more in 2017 when she won the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, her fourth overall.
Emeli Sandé’s career in music began with a video of her playing the piano and singing one of her favorite songs, “Nasty Little Lady,” that her sister posted. They entered the video into Trevor Nelson’s BBC Urban Music competition, and Emeli won. Although she was offered a record deal by the management she met through the competition, she declined.
Undaunted, Sandé joined the Urban Scot Collective, a group that helped and developed her career in Scotland. According to David Nolan’s biography “Emeli Sandé: The Biography” (2013), she also issued a song CD called “Have You Heard?” on Glasgow’s Souljawn Records, which was sold at her live appearances. Several tracks from the CD were also made available for download.
Emeli Sandé’s parents helped her climb to prominence even further by sending a CD of her songs to BBC Radio 1Xtra. Ras Kwame, a radio host, played her songs on his show “Homegrown Sessions,” and she was invited to perform in Soho with three other artists.
