Born Adele Sandé in Sunderland, she was encouraged to hone her musical talents, which included playing the clarinet and piano and writing and performing her own songs, by her Zambian choirmaster father. While studying medicine at Glasgow University, she signed a publishing deal with EMI and, following a meeting with producer Naughty Boy, the pair began working together on a number of songs, including Chipmunk’s Top Ten hit “Diamond Rings,” which she was also featured on, and “Boys,” which was later recorded by Cheryl Cole as the B-side to “3 Words.”
After signing a solo contract with EMI, she moved to London and appeared on albums by Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, and Devlin, supported Solange Knowles on her U.K. tour, and scored a second Top Ten hit with Naughty Boy and Wiley on a cover of White Town’s “Your Woman.” Her first solo single, “Daddy,” was released in 2010. In 2011, Sandé won a raft of awards, including Best Breakthrough Act at the BRITs and at the MOBO Awards. After appearing on Professor Green’s smash hit “Read All About It” in October 2011, she issued her debut album, Our Version of Events, in February 2012.
High-profile Scottish singer and songwriter, Emeli Sande comes through with a brand new single entitled, “More of You.” On the new joint, Emeli Sande joined forces with Ghanaian dancehall prodigy, Stonebwoy and British singer, Nana Rogues. The conventional single was fairly treated to befitting visuals. Watch it below:
