Emeli Sandé_

You are a 23-year-old from rural northern Scotland. Piano has been your instrument, your songwriting tool, since you were ten; your voice has been remarkable for even longer. A tattoo of artist Frida Kahlo – a typically single-minded, forthright heroine runs the length of your right forearm.

Some of the greatest names in modern pop have sung your thrustingly exciting compositions: Tinie Tempah (Let Go), Professor Green (Kids That Love To Dance), Tinchy Stryder (Let It Rain), Chipmunk (Diamond Rings), Wiley (Never Be Your Woman). You’ve also written for divas big (Susan Boyle), small (Cheryl Cole) and medium-sized (The Saturdays). Your dad (from Zambia) and your mum (from Cumbria), who schooled you in music and encouraged your ambitions, are already proud.

Then there are the richly melodic, classically powerful, retro-futurist soul-pop songs you’ve written for your own debut album. Your love for – and understanding of – Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell and Lauryn Hill are obvious, loud and proud.

Then there’s the stuff you did in your ‘spare time’: three-quarters of a six-year degree in medicine at Glasgow University. You specialised in Clinical Neuro-Science, “cause I really like all the brain stuff.”

You are Emeli Sandé, and you also really like all the soul stuff, all the heart stuff, and all the emotional stuff. Not many people knew it, but you were behind some of the key pop tracks of recent years. Now you’re about to be the voice in front of the freshest debut of 2012.

Since its release in February, ‘Our Version Of Events’ has gone on to become the UK’s biggest selling debut album of 2012 so far, winning Emeli this year’s coveted BRITs Critics’ Choice Award, securing her a slot on Coldplay’s US tour and at Coca-Cola’s Olympic Torch Relay City Celebrations.

  2. This printer is also capable of duplexing (if it wasn’t I wouldn’t have
    put it on the list). Look for shielded type DB25 parallel
    printer cables for optimum results. The unit comes with eight
    megabytes of memory, so you can store your fonts.
    Generally speaking black ink is the cheapest to buy so often people choose to only print in black and white to keep printing costs down. This saves on toner costs throughout the
    life of the printer.

  3. For example, iconic figures like Elvis Presley were often depicted
    wearing sunglasses and the rock band ZZ Top even has
    a hit song titled ‘Cheap Sunglasses. Maybe you just started cycling, or doing triathlon. However, shopping for a pair of sunglasses for men is not all that easy either.

    All of the top sunglasses should have a maximum 100% UV and UB protection. Deciding what tools for the garden you and your partner need will depend on what kind job you are doing that day.

  4. Elcomsoft System Recovery can create a bootable USB flash drive in just minutes to let you boot from the tiny memory stick instead

    Do you store administrative passwords in spreadsheets & flat files.

  6. Pros: Detection and Removal Engine – The behavior-based antiviral engine
