What a treat! Emeli Sandé came by Minneapolis, last night, to preview her upcoming album. The intimate setting of the Dakota Jazz Club was a perfect listening room for Sandé. As the announcer puts it, this will be the only time that you get to see her at such a small venue, because the next time she's coming back, she's playing the Xcel Energy Center with Coldplay. Just to give you perspective, the capacity for Xcel is over 18,000 seats, while the Dakota is just under 300 seats.
Aby Wolf closed out the show, which may be one of the rare occasions where the support band actually played last.
Her music was electronica/chilltronica in the vein of Julee Cruise.
As for Emeli Sandé, everyone at the show last night would agree that her set was way too short, with the encore of "Maybe" ending at 8:15pm! I suppose it shouldn't surprise us, considering that Sandé only has one album with a maximum of maybe 13 or so songs under her belt.
As you can see from the setlist, she did almost all the songs from her debut album, Our Version of Events, starting off to a strong start with her first single, "Heaven" and her current single, "Next to Me". Her voice is bold and wonderful, and you can easily see why she recently won the 2012 Brit Awards for Critic's Choice (previous winners includes Adele and Florence+Machine).
Sandé's album, Our Version of Events, is the second fastest-selling album of 2012, behind Lana Del Rey's Born to Die, when it was released in the UK a few weeks ago (February 19th); already the record went platinum! Unfortunately, the album is not available in the USA just yet. You can only get the single "Heaven" at the moment, but EMI/Capitol Records will finally release the album in the US on June 5th. By that time, expect to see her on the usual television appearance.
