Breaking the Law?

Ignore the alarms, ignore the police

'Breaking the Law?' is a new track written and performed by Emeli Sande and Naughty Boy, the duo behind many of the UK's catchiest urban hits.  This time around the duo have chosen to get political, the song and its accompanying video (hosted by SBTV) is a heartfelt illustration of last month’s student protests in London.  The question mark in the song title is poignant and begs the question whether or not the protestors were really breaking the law.  The video highlights that fact that only a small number of the protestors were instigating violence and the protest itself was intended to be a peaceful one.

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.
