Emeli Sandé: Let's Say for Instance (Album Review) (PopMatters)

There’s a sharp intelligence to Sandé’s lyrics and gravity in her voice that firmly keeps the album from collapsing beneath the weight of its positivity. The songs are bright hugs of pop that are buoyant, charming, and entertaining. These are wise tales of love, empowerment, and happiness, like a boxed set of the best episodes from The Oprah Winfrey Show. Sandé’s warmth dominates the record and her songs are like a loving embrace. But there’s no need to attempt to find subtext in the songs from Let’s Say for Instance because they are, for the most part, smart, uplifting pop songs with the kind of inspirational lyrics that would soothe a wide variety of adversarial circumstances. There’s a pearl of relieved wisdom heard in the lyrics which sound as if they’ve come from a lifetime of experience. The music on Let’s Say for Instance is the work of a seasoned veteran who had been making music for a decade.
