Emeli Sandé Brings Her Roots to Life with New Single Release

Multi-award winning artist Emeli Sandé is back with her latest single ‘Roots’, which hits the airwaves November 29th. The emotionally charged track marks a new chapter for the singer-songwriter as she takes full control of her career and embraces her Scottish roots. 

Co-written and produced by Ollie Green, ‘Roots’ showcases Sandé’s powerful vocals and touches upon themes of legacy, community, and nature. The song reflects on our past and the progress we’ve made, while also looking forward with hope for the future. 

With lyrics like “Our roots are in the soil, in the fields, the rivers and the streams,” Sandé pays tribute to her Scottish upbringing and her Zambian heritage. Sandé’s musical talents have been recognized on a global level, with her being one of the most influential female artists of the past two decades.
