Emeli Sande

How Were We to Know (hmv Exclusive)

£12.99

Released: 17th November 2023. Introduced to the world ten years ago, Emeli Sande MBE has become an icon of British singer-songwriting; emotional, honest, and prolific in the kind of manner that cements you as a go-to artist for heartfelt pop sensibility. This latest pop record is reminiscent of 2012, when Emeli had her first breakout hit. How Were We To Know's eleven tracks explore intimate encounters with love in all its forms, along with the risk required to pursue it. 'Once you've been hurt, it's very hard to pick up the pieces again and allow yourself to be vulnerable,' Sande says. 'So I think these songs explore the bravery of love, and loving others but also yourself. These songs were pieces of a puzzle I had to put together, and now feels like the right time to share them'.
