Spotlight: Emeli Sandé

Todays music industry is full of talentless manufactured artists with little musical authenticity.  But every now and then you come across a band or singer that restores your faith in good music and bona fide talent.   A while ago i came across the myspace page of Aberdeen born singer and songwriter Emeli Sandé and it's safe to say i've been addicted ever since.  She's blessed with old school jazz pipes like Ella Fitzgerald, the contemporary edge of Beyoncé and song writing skills that approaches sometimes cliché subjects in a new and fresh way.
Check her out singing an acoustic version of her song 'Daddy'.

Sandé is playing King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow on the 15th of November.
