Emeli Sandé includes Glasgow in her UK tour

The multi-platinum, award-winning singer-songwriter announced her tour dates ahead of the release of her much anticipated third album ‘Real Life’, set for worldwide release on September 13 on Virgin/EMI.

Recorded following an intense personal journey of self-doubt and self-discovery, Real Life is said to mark a brand-new chapter and with it a bold, confident and fearless new sound.

It’s described as an extraordinary album and emblematic of an artist emerging defiant and powerful.

Feeling attuned with the disenfranchised state of the world, the vision for Real Life is to give people hope and confidence.

All lyrics were written by Emeli, working with the likes of Salaam Remi, James Poyser and Troy Miller, who produced every song.

The album’s 11 tracks act as warm balm for anyone looking for positivity.

With over 340 million video views, 19 million singles sold including three number one UK singles and over 6 million albums, Emeli Sandé MBE has dominated the music industry and captured the heart of the nation.

Her debut album Our Version of Events, released in 2012, was the biggest selling album of that year and the second biggest of 2013.

The album also broke the chart record for the most consecutive weeks inside the Top 10, breaking the 50-year record previously held by The Beatles.

The singer, born in Sunderland and raised in Alford, Aberdeenshire, has won numerous accolades including 4 x Brit Awards (Critics Choice, Best Album and Female Solo twice, most recently in 2017 for her second album, Long Live the Angels) and in 2018 was awarded an MBE for services to music.

She is coming to the Armadillo on November 19.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, June 14 at 9am at livenation.co.uk/.
