On her fifth R&B-inflected album, British singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé makes pop music for grown-ups. "I put my heart on my wrist, don't wanna bleed no more … You can put the blame on me, I swear/ Even though it hurts, I'll still be there for you," she sings on "There For You." It is about, she has said, continuing to feel love for exes after the relationships are over. "Even if I'm pissed off with them for a couple of years, I'll always care for them, I'll always want to know they're OK. Because once you've committed to that love with someone, it doesn't just go away." Big, sweeping R&B track "All This Love" focuses on being dumped way before you're ready: "Since you stopped calling me baby/ Things have been a little bit shady/ Been jumping out of aeroplanes/ Racing in the fastest lanes," she sings, wildly self-aware but unable to control herself. "What am I supposed to do with all this love?" Sandé implores, going from curious to desperately confused to ecstatic, her voice reaching a new high plane with seemingly no choice but to spread all that love around. The title track, a swelling breakup ballad, is equally powerful. Sandé's words suggest she's wounded and taking on blame—"We could've done better/ But sooner or later/ We stopped all love letters"—but it doesn't stop her from flying to the rafters while, beneath her, crisp, cool, giant drum beats fire off shocks to the system. That drum style also carries "End of Time," a bit of gospel soul that allows Sandé to get showy with her soprano. "My Boy LIkes to Party" is adult contemporary with a nervous edge, thanks to a skittering beat and iced, machinated effects on Sandé's vocals before she leans into the interesting rushed bridge. "Lighthouse," meanwhile, eases back with tropical dub rhythms and a slow-spinning shimmer that compliments the huskier shadow of her velvet-soft voice. It's a bit Alicia Keys-esque, as is soulful piano track "Love"—which highlights Sandé's remarkable control as she impressively alternates between dove coos and strongly delivered words. There are other familiar touchstones here, too. You can imagine Beyoncé from a different era—circa B'Day, perhaps—tackling songs like "True Colours" or "Nothing We Can't Handle." © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
