Thematically, inspiration on the album took many forms: from falling madly in love on ‘July 25th’ and ‘September 8th’, to encouraging self confidence on ‘Yes You Can’, describing the lyrics as “the light at the end of the tunnel” digging deeper beyond the often simplified portrayal of mental health and depression, to ‘Another One’, on the conversation of race equality.    With full creative control, it sees Emeli freeing herself from the expectations of others, flexing her holistic skills as a musician, songwriter, producer and vocalist in new, versatile ways. In her words: “‘an ode to resilience, rebirth, and renewal”.   Speaking of the new album, Emeli shares: “For me to be in the space I'm in now, I couldn't have rushed. Of course, three years ago, I would have loved to have been in this place; in love, making music that I love. But you just can't do it until you're ready, and the world is ready and the circumstances are in place.”   “I am so thrilled that my fourth album ‘Let’s Say For Instance’ is out today. It is an ode to resilience, rebirth and renewal. Although I am exploring new sounds, I believe that my lyrical and melodic signature will still be felt, especially by those who have followed me closely throughout all these years. I hope the freedom I have found within my spirit and voice will be heard and shared through this album.”     In an exclusive conversation with Variety, Emeli shared: “I’m so proud of this album and can’t wait to release it. I’ve felt free to express myself more naturally both lyrically and musically in this album and my wish is that it will be an uplifting experience for each listener and that they will get to know me on a much deeper level.”   Emeli Sandé’s new album, ‘Let’s Say For Instance’ is available everywhere today.    Watch the official music video for ‘Ready To Love’ HERE.
