Emeli Sandé 'Breathing Underwater' (Virgin Records)
If this were the 80s, Emeli Sandé’s new single ‘Breathing Underwater’, which is produced by long-term collaborator Chris Loco and makes use of a guesting gospel choir, would probably bag her a Christmas number one. Taken from the singer’s second album ‘Long Live The Angels’ and boasting a sound that’s reminiscent of Moby, Massive Attack and a few other golden oldies, this is big pop vocal territory – and what else would you expect from her?.
