The now completely irrelevant Emeli Sandé has released some good songs and I need to share them

[funky]

Electro-R&B queen turned oddly-ubiquitous London Olympics icon turned Radio 2 housewives favourite, Emeli has become about as moopy-adjacent as thrash metal lately, but I feel the need to highlight a bit of a RETURN TO FORM...

Sorry but how good is this?



and the single isn't bad either



Haven't listened to the album yet but if she's joining the 80s bandwagon based on the above I''ll be checking it out shortly

I don't know what I expected but I'm actually quite impressed.

 

[funky]

I know right? Who knew.

Ready to Love is great but feels very dated; I can picture it on the X Factor 12 years ago.

 

[FetchFugly]

There Isn't Much is pretty wonderful, she sounds very much like Leona on it at times. I think I posted about it sonewhere. The lyrics are a lot but I do prefer it to Ready To Love.

The album charted at 27 this week. Ouch.

oh wow, it was doing very well on iTunes, not that it means much but it's often a good indicator.

She was always boring and over-earnest and those jumpers were awful.
I mean who does she think she is? Joan Armatrading?
Go back to medical school honestly.


And yes I know that in 5 years this may resurface to haunt me.

those jumpers were awful.

 

[COB]

and those jumpers were awful.

! Poor love

Where's a Miranda Priestly emoji when you need one

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That Come ON come ON read all ABOUT IT Olympics one did my head in at the time

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Although I suppose it was still better than that Beneath You're/Your (so clever ) Beautiful garbage.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

God she really was shit wasn't she.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Oh no wait I just remembered that awful CLOWN one. yeah that was the absolute worst.

 

[funky]

the LADY doth protest TOO MUCH

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Although I do like this performance I think

An average u-turn for you Suede, next time I reckon you could do it in 4 or 5.

It seems to mean less and less. It was #3 on downloads, #12 on physical, and #10 on sales overall. And nowhere to be seen on streaming.

 

[Ellie]

Nope. Still hate her voice and I don’t think any song can fix that.

Em has roped in the elusive Nile Rodgers for a full on disco production:

This ‘feature track’ or whatever from her new album is REALLY GOOD

 

[funky]

I kept meaning to update this thread because she’s kinda done it again with this album. The two singles “All This Love” and “There For You” are BOPS. I listened to the album last night and first impression is that there’s a couple more bops to be found as well.



QUEEN OF IRRELEVANT ADULT POP

I literally had to block her last album from a Spotify after I listened once and decided it wasn't for me, when it then would not STOP pushing it on me.

I'll give this one a go though. I can't quite put my finger on what happened with Our Version Of Events except that it just sounds SOOO 2012 these days but not in a warm nostalgic way.

 

[funky]

The music that sounds the most dated is almost always the music from about a decade ago. I remember growing up when the 80s was so passé, cheesy and dated. Then it was the 90s. Now everyone embraces them both.

I can’t actually imagine the noughties ever being trendy again but I suppose it will happen and then the 10s will get their shot…
