Emeli Sandé’s debut album “Our Version Of Events” has leaked!

One of the most anticipated releases from 2012′s rising star, Emeli Sande, has leaked onto the internet a few days before its official release date. The highly-touted new singer, who is going to join the ranks of Adele, Florence + The Machine and (Ekh) Jessie J by getting the Brit newcomer award, is ready for us to digest. Our Version Of Events is on multiple download sites, which you will have to find by yourself.

Sexy Track: “Too Good To Lose” by Rebecca Ferguson

1

Rebecca Ferguson is one of those rare reality show contestants who won’t budge to a certain sound or image when it comes to her solo career. Like this little gem we have here – a track that is robustly Britsoul, yet recalls beautiful elements from the 90s. If you didn’t know who was singing you’d think it was an old track by M People’s Heather Small. It’s a midtempo ditty that wavers between olden R&B sensibility and not-so-timid emotional vocals.

Florence + The Machine perform “Dog Days Are Over”

It’s a surprise that Florence Welch is still working this song and not promoting the other tracks. Could it be because there is not enough good material on Ceremonials. To us, Flo suffered from the sophomore slump badly. Not an effort that we expected her to release considering Lungs was so complete and sonically pleasing.
