November 11, 20168 yr Breathing Underwater is just stunning, love it :wub: Definitely gonna have to give this a listen over the weekend.
November 11, 20168 yr Heard the clips on iTunes. It sounds ok actually. Better than I expected given I've read lots of negative reviews by fans. I think there were big expectations for this and yes it doesn't include any tracks which sound as strong as next to me or some of her singles from last time but still sounds ok.
November 12, 20168 yr Happen, Highs & Lows, Babe, Kung Fu and Somebody are all so stunning. The latter two should so be on the standard edition. Ludicrous that they are excluded when they are so much better than the middle part of the album.

November 27, 20168 yr Both Garden and Breathing Underwater have really hit me lately! Loving the video for Garden too :heart:
November 28, 20168 yr Happen and I'd Rather Not are my faves, but I'm loving Selah, Garden, Hurts, Lonely and Give Me Something! Great follow up! Love it when artists wait to actually put out equally impressive albums and don't just churn albums out at a yearly rate.
December 3, 20168 yr At first I was a little disappointed with the album but now I am loving it, some brilliant songs, catchy and really full of emotion. Stand out for me is : Every Single Little Piece Other faves are : Shakes, Kung Fu, Highs & Lows, Selah and Somebody as well as Hurts I still love that and Breathing Underwater. I'm glad she's doing arenas later in the year I initially thought the few gigs she announced would be it but I shall be hopefully be going to Leeds in October.
December 3, 20168 yr Yes, this album is miles better than her first. Kung Fu, Somebody, Babe, Breathing Underwater, Selah, Right Now, Garden and Highs & Lows. All incredible.
December 4, 20168 yr I agree the album is much better than her first album. Has anyone heard the Japan bonus tracks; naturally and dream on? I can't find them anywhere online and would love to hear them.
December 15, 20168 yr Emeli tweeted this morning she is filming the video for 'Highs & Lows' which is good
December 15, 20168 yr Realistically would of loved Happen, Give Me Something and I'd Rather Not to be prioritised as singles but I can see the appeal of Highs and Lows as each track is so goddamn strong. This is perhaps the most underrated album of the year, I can't because it's bloody brilliant. Edited December 15, 20168 yr by DiamondHeart
December 14, 20213 yr I gave this album a listen today for the first time in a while and I think it’s her best solo album for me. Kinda like Leona’s Spirit her debut album had the better campaign and the hit singles but the follow up was stronger but didn’t have the same push as what the debut did. Did this album manage platinum? I do wish her huge success lasted beyond her debut album as she has one of the best voices across British females but maybe she was so overexposed in 2012 that it went against her.

December 14, 20213 yr THis is such an incredible body of work... it's very alternative and dark and wonderful.

Not yet - per BPI it's still only certified Gold. The sales stood around 290k a few years ago though, so it might creep up there eventually.
