Emeli Sandé will celebrate the November 17th release of her new album ‘How Were We To Know’ by hosting a special intimate ‘An Evening With’ show at London’s Union Chapel on November 21st. The event will see Emeli perform a stripped-back set of brand new songs and old favourites, and will also be joined by her friend, the actress, playwright and author Zawe Ashton (‘Mr. Malcom’s List’, ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’, and the upcoming ‘The Marvels’), for an in-depth conversation about her life and career to date.
Tickets are available now from DICE. The tickets come bundled with a copy of ‘How Were We To Know’ on your choice of CD or vinyl.
The ‘How Were We To Know’ album covers Emeli’s reflections on the vast spectrum of emotions that come with love, from the blissful rush of a new relationship to the pain and uncertainty that comes with a break-up. It’s a collection in which her show-stopping voice sears with drama and emotion, as heard on the recent singles ‘There For You’, ‘All This Love’ and the title track. The album’s intimacy was further unlocked as Emeli called on trusted collaborators, including Mac & Phil and Jonny Coffer (key contributors to her second album ‘Long Live The Angels’) and Ollie Green (who worked on last year’s critically adored ‘Let’s Say For Instance’ including the hit ‘Brighter Days’).
Since breaking through in 2012, Emeli Sandé has become one of British music’s biggest success stories. Her debut album‘Our Version of Events’ spent a total of 10 weeks at #1, reaching 8 x Platinum status as it became one of the best-selling albums of the decade. She has also twice topped the singles charts and scored another nine Top 10 hits, contributing to 25 million+ career sales to date. She excels in the live arena, as demonstrated by headlining London’s O2 arena, recording an early Royal Albert Hall show for a subsequent live album, touring as guest to Coldplay and her unforgettable performances at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Her many awards include four BRITs, threeMOBOs and two Ivor Novellos.
In addition to the Union Chapel show, Emeli will headline the Royal Festival Hall on November 11th as part of the EFG Jazz Festival London, and will also play Magic Radio’s sold-out Magic of Christmas extravaganza at the London Palladium onNovember 25th alongside Rick Astley, Simply Red and Texas.
