The music on Real Life radiates warmth, humanity and positivism. Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé wanted to give the listeners hope and confidence with her studio album Real Life. Especially people who feel marginalized, forgotten, or downcast. A shared consolation is that we all have our struggles, concerns, and desires in life. The musical language that Sandé uses is compelling soul, r
… & b and gospel. Honest is a fragile ballad with piano and strings, but usually Sandé's songs lead to an exuberant climax complete with gospel choir and hammond organ. Producer didn't use any digital gimmicks, took his analog keyboards with him and made for a not overly polished production with interesting instrumentation. An album full of exciting 'superpower' music! (SvdP)more
