Her new single is Named 'Hurts' and it's out September 16th. Apparently it's "an explosion of everything she's wanted to say for years and she's not holding back on it". Excitement
Her 'Rolling In The Deep' moment coming ??? Sounds intriguing anyway, I am actually quite excited to see what she comes up with.
After such over-exposure in 2012 it does feel like a hell of a long time since she's been around. Could go either way for her I think.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Cannot wait I just hope its not a massive let down!!
I'm looking forward to this, I loved her debut despite the overexposure. I don't think something like Sing would work for her but I agree with MLHammer, she could do with something a bit bigger and bolder that people don't expect. I mean even just something like Rolling In The Deep would be good, I know Next To Me was kind of that but it was like the softer version.
Her debut wasn't too bad, iirc. It was just over exposure that completely killed her off for me. VERY same thing with Sam Smith (his album was better than I thought it'd be, too)
This sounds quite promising from that clip.
I always imagined she would flop with a return cos it's been so long but we shall see!

Snippet #2 can be heard here.
This is sounding incredibly promising so far, sounds very big and cinematic. I'm actually excited now
Now that instrumental sounds like exactly what I want from her and exactly what she needs *.*
anal anthem
You need to step up your bottom game!
Can't wait to hear this. Loved her first album. A true star.
Premiering at 7am apparently.
I have a good feeling about this, think she's gonna surprise everyone and really bring it with something great.
What's up with these morning releases? I'm up until two tonight - I'd like to actually have something to listen to while I'm in the car ffs. It's 7 hours worth of valuable sales lost.
Emeli is tomorrow's live lounge guest. Performing the song straight away so definitely going to do well tomorrow. Maybe #1 for a bit?
I just hope it's impressive as she's been away so long that you just don't know if she'll quite have the same success as her first era!
Gotta get those insomniac sales!
I guess some would argue Emeli is the cure for insomnia
I suppose so, but I recall The Tide going top 40 in like an hour based on fanbase buys, so it has to equate for something? Or was Click My Fingers up for pre-order (you should know this Joseph ;o)
Lots of bigger artists do the sameas Emeli is, they have a proper premiere instead of chucking it on iTunes, and it still works She's hardly going to bomb because she's lost 7 hours of sales.
Yeah I do suppose I'm sawing my arm off with a blunt stone here, just salty it's not out at midnight :,) I'm sure it'll debut top 20 either way.
This is absolutely incredible. After a few more listens I can see this being her best since Heaven
very strong indeed, impressive on 1st listen
This is very impressive! Her 'Sing' moment like I predicted.
This is INCREDIBLE!! Oh my lord. It's exactly what she needed to change it up a bit but it still feels very her, it's not too much of a jump into a sound that's implausible or forced. I love how cinematic and anthemic it is. This will surely be huge?
Future #1?
Incredible! I am down for sassy Emeli this era pls
This is really good! Exactly what she needed for her comeback really, sounds like a hit. Very anthemic-sounding (love the orchestral/choir parts) and perfect for X Factor season (performance incoming surely?)
This is really good on first listen, a British #1 is well needed and a female act at #1
Absolutely stunning, exactly what I wanted from her. Hoping this can be the hit she needs but I don't really trust the public in letting it become one.
now this is exactly what gags shoulda come back with
instant and addictive
It's strong and has a good hook! I'm glad she hasn't returned with a piano ballad sound she eventually became renowned for and that it's more on the Heaven side of things.
I knew I had a good feeling about this for a reason.
Already her best after 'Heaven' for me.
Pretty good on listen one but hey only on listen one I can see it growing for sure!
Such an epic and glorious song, love it.
Wonderful! So big and cinematic. It's different enough, without it being too different for her! Impressed
she's just performed it in the live lounge and i actually forgot it was live for a sec 😱
I am loving this more and more with each listen, I was a fan of the last album anyway but this is really spectacular and has me very excited for album 2!
Emeli! *.* Her and Alicia have really surprised me this year!! 'Hurts' is what Emeli needed to come back big imo. It's still very much her sound but more of a progression rather than trying to recapture the magic of OVOE.
It's like an antidote to My Kind of Love.
Yah this is like Well Well Well. Not exciting at all.
In what universe?
I'm glad to see some of the hate be somewhat quietened by this release.
Sure, she was overexposed back in 2012 but that was 4 years ago and she has always had one of the best female voices in the UK and a great ear for music. I knew she'd have something up her sleeve.
omg I love it...so beautiful <3
She has been absent for so long in the pop world that I thought it would be impossible for her to have a successful comeback, but with this song she might be able to pull it off? I think it'll be a bit of a slow burner.
I don't know how I feel about the song yet personally. It's definitely intriguing.
This is pretty good - a great comeback from her!
I'm not totally feeling it myself (at least right now) but it's clearly an excellent, classy, intricately formulated, multi-dimensional track that'll impress on a big scale, so a very smart career move. I forgot how gorgeous her voice is.
I do wonder though, given she's dictated her career from the off by forcing her to go by her middle name, how long Emeli's been sitting on this/waiting to release something considering Adele had been threatening a comeback for so long, and then of course took her audience hostage along with the rest of the world for the last year.
It was an instant click with me !
Not getting the general overwhelming response to this song at all but at least it's a lot better than I was fearing, definitely won't mind hearing it on the radio but still sounds like something I'll get sick of pretty quickly.
Insant Hit with me!
I do think Emeli will struggle in the streaming era so although this could've made it to the top in the digital age I'm worried she'll fail to go top 10 with this.
If you're not a random dance act / Justin Bieber / singer/songwriter you're not going to do well in the charts.
I wasn't really getting the overwhelming response to this either at first, as much as I wanted to. Like, I could totally appreciate what she was doing and her fantastic vocal ability, but something wasn't impacting on me in the same way other marching rhythmed, OneRepublic esque songs did.
I'm happy to say that it is growing now, especially after her phenomenal Live Lounge performance.
I know it probably won't get as much love in here but offaiah has remixed Hurts and it's amazing.
WOW.
offaiah hits it out of the park again
