Emeli Sande soars to vocal highs on her brand new single ‘Brighter Days.’

The uplifting empowerment anthem is the latest offering from the BRIT Award winner since setting sail on her independent journey.

Sonically, the track finds Sande on familiar terrain. For, with her emotive delivery and piercing lyrics, she draws listeners in with a warmth and reliability that has made her one of music’s most magnetic talents.

Speaking on ‘Brighter Days,’ which arrives ahead of her show at London’s Roundhouse tonight (January 19), the songbird said:

“‘Brighter Days’ is inspired by the truth that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope. We might have to dig deeper to feel it, but hope is always there. Staying anchored in hope and faith is our victory and defeat only comes when we lose sight of this power. ‘Brighter Days’ is an affirmation – it’s a reminder of our collective power to make a choice and create our reality.”
