This is wayyy better than her second album for me. All of the singles so far have been really anthemic in their own way and Emeli sounds great.

 

I definitely wouldn't call Extraordinary Being a weak link, it's my favourite on the album, I adore the string flourishes and the Dreams meets Looking For Love 1998 vibe of the production.

This is a really cute album! Shine is the highlight and should’ve been the lead!

 

 

 

 

Officially debuts at #6

 

Streaming pushed Taylor and Lewis Capaldi ahead

 

Sales only though she debuts at #2

#32 this week.

 

Pretty happy it managed another week too 40 tbh!

 

On sales only it was #9 (falling 2-9)

 

That’s where Long Live The Angels fell to on its second week in the chart too.

 

Streaming’s really making this look like a bigger underperformnace. .

 

Hope we get some promo.

100%. Shine probably could have given it a better shot than Sparrow did.

 

I'm still not sure that I prefer this to either Our Version of Events or Long Live the Angels, but there's some really beautiful songs on it. You Are Not Alone, Shine, Real Life and Free as a Bird are my favourites. :wub:

Emeli on Strictly results show on Sunday.

 

Nice promo for the album.

 

Hopefully it provides a boost for the albums chart.
