The one and only Emeli Sandé is back. It’s been a minute since we last heard from the British singer-songwriter, but she recently revealed that she will release her first album since 2019’s Real Life. Her new album, Let’s Say For Instance, is slated to arrive on May 6th, and she’s back with her brand new single called “Oxygen.”
She opened up about the track recently, stating: “When it comes to making songs about love, I don’t worry about oversharing too much. Even if there’s no lyric in it, I think to make the most beautiful and powerful music; you have to let go and be honest.” She went on to add, “I wrote ‘Oxygen’ in LA, the sun was shining, and I’d just met this new producer called F A L L E N, who played me the beat. Already, a mood was created; I loved how sparse-yet-deep it is, how it allows those very raw emotions to come forth. In life, I can be quite reserved; Unless I really trust somebody, I’m not going to be super open and tell them how I feel. But with music, it’s the complete opposite. I need to just let it all spill out and see what it is. With anything that I’m doing, whether that be making a song or being in love, I just, it needs to be all or nothing, and that’s what I wanted ‘Oxygen’ to be. My family thinks I’m a little bit extreme sometimes, but I think that whatever you dedicate yourself to, you have to fully go for it.”
The track is certainly one worth checking out. Press play on the stream below and look for her new project coming soon. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for all the best in new music.
