We wouldn't blame Emeli Sandé for feeling a little pressured of late. Winning a Brit Award best on your potential and being tipped for huge success in 2012 before releasing your debut album is probably a humbling, but daunting prospect. With her last single 'Daddy' failing to do the business chart-wise, can her latest chart assault get her back on track and live up to the hype she's been burdened with?
"You won't find him trying to chase the devil/ For money, fame, for power, out of grief," Sandé insists of her morally righteous right-hand man over head-nodding beats and gospel-choir harmonies. Whether this mysterious entity is a lover, her faith or the music itself is never clarified, but one thing is for certain; if it inspires Sandé to write music of this standard, then her claims of perfection are rightly justified.
