A lot has happened to Sandé in the four years since the resounding success of her critically acclaimed number one record, Our Version Of Events.

Sandé has won numerous accolades including 4 Brit Awards (Critics Choice, Best Album and British Female Solo Artist in both 2013 and 2017) as well as awards from Q Magazine, Elle, Harpers and GQ. The multi-instrumentalist initially made her mark as a songwriter in the UK urban scene via acts such as Wiley, Wretch 32 and Chip, later becoming a highly sought-after writer for a wide array of international acts including Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Katy Perry. Her second album Long Live The Angels was released last November and received wide critical acclaim and achieved the biggest week one sales for a British female solo artist in 2016.
