Emeli Sande - Next To Me

I've been to busy to stick to my usual schedule over the current couple of weeks, but I'll try to balance that out by doing two posts this weeks. Anyways, we've got something interesting today with Emeli Sande. Once again, she's a unique sound that could really shake up pop music. It's been all about switching things up lately, what with Adele and all, and I think Emeli Sande is doing just that. She's similar to Adele, but very different as well.

The song may come off as a bit boring at first, but I find most slower songs tend to do that. Once you give it a couple listens you'll see how catchy it really is. It's got a kind of old-fashioned nostalgic style to it. It's not your typical dance song, and that makes it interesting. Of course, saying that has lost it's meaning lately, but I still stand by it; I think you will be interested once you hear the song.

I say it's not a dance song, but that doesn't mean it's any less catchy or danceable. The chorus is very powerful and what really brings the song to life. With a combination of "Woohoo"s and "Eh"s and it creates and steady beat. Add that with the underlying piano melody and smooth vocals and you've got a song that's very easy to move to.

It's really nice to see that we won't have to put up with the same sound over and over again. I commend people like Sande for bringing something fresh to the table. This song is unique, but still has the formula for success. Hopefully it'll be a break out from another unique artist.
