Sandé made her singing career debut in 2009 after appearing on the track she wrote for Chipmunk's first debut single, "Diamond Rings". The single charted at No. 6 on the UK Singles Charts, making it Chipmunk and Sandé's first ever Top 10 Hit. She later appeared on another single singing guest vocals, after collaborating with Wiley on his comeback single "Never Be Your Woman", the single charted at number-eight on the UK Singles Charts becoming Sandé's second consecutive Top 10 Single.
Sandé decided against using the name Adele Sandé, due to Adele's growing success, so used her middle name instead. She revealed: "I changed it as soon as Adele came out. I just thought, 'You've kind of taken the [name] now', so I went with my middle name. She was just getting bigger and bigger, so I thought I just really need it."
A former medical student, Sandé appeared as a guest vocalist on Professor Green's 2011 UK #1 single Read All About It and soon went on to achieve her own chart success with her first solo release Heaven, which debuted in the UK Singles Chart at #2. Her debut album Our Version of Events was released on 12th February 2012. The album includes the singles Next To Me, Daddy and My Kind Of Love.
Before branching out on her own Sandé had already had a taste of chart success having collaborated with rapper Chipmunk on his song Diamond Rings, and then with Wiley on Never Be Your Woman. She has also written for or collaborated with artists including Let Go, Let It Rain, Susan Boyle and Cheryl Cole.
In a major feature in their Saturday Review paper, The Times declared Emeli Sandé "The Voice of 2012". The New York Times said “Ms. Sandé has a perspective-altering voice, clear and brassy and weapons-grade”. Fellow artists have also proclaimed their admiration, including Alicia Keys, “I just love her style and her flow – super raw.”, and Adele, "How incredible is she?".
Our Version of Events is the UK's biggest selling debut album of 2012.

Honest
Emeli Sandé Lyrics
Yeah yeah yeah
We may live again, but hey now, maybe not
So if you love someone, give it all you've got
Time is easy spent, but it can't be bought
So stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Never let the tide of change, wash away the dream you've dreamt
Don't get left wondering, where the summer went
'Cause if not now, then come on darling, tell me when
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Breathe in, breathe out, don't hold it in
Let fear fall down, let love begin
Be brave, be bold with no regrets
Try something that scares you a bit
Write your own song and sing it loud
Love who you are, stand tall, stand proud
Keep the good and lose the rest
If you know your truth, say it with your chest
Don't care so much what people think
Most wouldn't care if you float or sink
Just know the ones who love you most
Treat them right and keep them close
And savor every breath and cherish every day
'Cause the sun's here now, but the moon is on the way
Don't get too caught up dwelling in your yesterday
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest
We may live again, but hey now, maybe not
So if you love someone, give it all you've got
Time is easy spent, but it can't be bought
So stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Don't get left wondering, where the summer went
'Cause if not now, then come on darling, tell me when
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Breathe in, breathe out, don't hold it in
Let fear fall down, let love begin
Be brave, be bold with no regrets
Try something that scares you a bit
Write your own song and sing it loud
Love who you are, stand tall, stand proud
Keep the good and lose the rest
If you know your truth, say it with your chest
Don't care so much what people think
Most wouldn't care if you float or sink
Just know the ones who love you most
Treat them right and keep them close
And savor every breath and cherish every day
'Cause the sun's here now, but the moon is on the way
Don't get too caught up dwelling in your yesterday
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest
