Internationally renowned British singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé has released her new album Let’s Say For Instance today on 6th May. This is Sandé’s fourth album and has been released though Chrysalis Records. Singles, “Family”, “Look What You’ve Done” (featuring Jaykae) and “Brighter Days” marked the first taste of new music from the “Next To Me” hitmaker in two years, and have set the scene for today’s release.
In an interview Sandé said: “Brighter Days is inspired by the truth that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope. We might have to dig deeper to feel it, but hope is always there. Staying anchored in hope and faith is our victory and defeat only comes when we lose sight of this power. Brighter Days is an affirmation – it’s a reminder of our collective power to make a choice and create our reality.”

In an exclusive interview with Variety, Sandé shared: “I’m so proud of this album and can’t wait to release it. I’ve felt free to express myself more naturally both lyrically and musically in this album and my wish is that it will be an uplifting experience for each listener and that they will get to know me on a much deeper level.”

Emeli was married between 2012 to 2014 to university lecturer Adam Gouraguine. Since splitting, the 35-year-old singer has announced that she is now in a same-sex relationship with classical pianist Yoana Karemova. In a statement she said, “I guess people made more of a story about it because I fell in love with a woman. But for me, being in love at this level, that’s the story. I’ve definitely never felt this depth of love.”
In an interview with the Guardian she added “I feel divided because I do recognise that I’m in quite a privileged position to be free to say I’m in love with a woman. I definitely hope that I can help someone else feel the strength to do the same. But I probably need to get a bit more clued up. All I can do is answer on how I feel. I can exhale. I love music. And you know, I love that there’s an album coming out – but I finally know that, beyond that, I can find happiness.”
Sandé will be touring the UK and Europe in support of the album across May and June 2022. The album is now available to buy here.
