It is a soulful pop album or music in pop style Soul album - how to take it. The mighty voice occupies a lot of space and the production confesses the required space also. Often only a piano playing the accompaniment without much frills, but simply to the point. But the pieces that come up with more instruments to fully convince. So is "Heaven" is the best pop song since "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele, "Daddy" is a fantastic up-tempo piece and "Next to me" you have to sing just once.
The ballads all go under the skin, which you have to assign the passionate expressiveness of the Scottish. Here, even the apparent standard ballad to a large cinema. "My Kind of Love", "Suitcase", "River" or "Read All About It Part 3" present themselves at the highest level. Admittedly, the plate is produced rather smooth rough edges in the sound you rarely get offered. A Popp bar does not need it and also Emeli Sande brings the Soul already live on stage. For a number of catchy tunes and an album without a single weak song you have to distribute the highest grade. Welcome to the music business, stay with us for a long time. Quite big debut!
