These days, a lot of the new music I listen to comes from having been heard playing somewhere - cd stores, bookshops, cafes, etc - but Emeli Sandé is the first that I've sought out after hearing it at my hairdresser's salon. Our Version of Events is a nice album - opening with the drama of "Heaven" (reminiscent of Massive Attack) and big pop-soul anthem "My Kind of Love", hitting another high point near the middle with "Maybe" and "Suitcase" back to back, and ending with a strong ballad in "Read All About It (Pt III)", and pleasant enough in between. Good voice, good songs, all round very solid.
