The album's been a real grower for me after being initially underwhelmed. It's great that she's produced an album that's different to what everyone else is doing (i.e. electropop/dance). It's definitely not an instant album but I'm in love with it now!

My rank:

1. Heaven
2. My Kind Of Love
3. Clown
4. Next To Me
5. Daddy
6. Hope
7. Read All About It (Part III)
8. Suitcase
9. Where I Sleep
10. Maybe
11. Mountains
12. River
13. Breaking The Law
14. Lifetime

According to Amazon.com, the album has a slightly different track listing in the US. "Wonder" (Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sandé) is track 4 and everything else is shifted down a track. "Easier In Bed" is a bonus track on the digital version of the album. "Read All About It" (Part III) doesn't feature on the album there.

I wonder what she will release as the next single?

I think 'Wonder' is a really good song and quite uptempo and good for the summer!

A re-release of 'Daddy' would be pretty good too as it deserves to do better than #21. Maybe 'Clown' with an X-factor performance?

I'm thinking Wonder with a re-release of the album, a bit like Jessie did with Domino.

But I would love to see Clown getting a release, especially with a X Factor performance! The live version of Clown is even better than the studio version. Or maybe Read All About It part 3?

She hinted on Radio 1 just now that she'll be releasing 'Wonder' during the summer and 'Clown' in the winter!

Perfect single choices!! :D

The olympics are loving Emeli :lol:

They just played her cover of John Lennon's 'Imagine' on the end credits of the Olympics programme. It was stunning

I don't like it! She never seems to dress to compliment her figure.

'Read All About It Pt III' is already #18 on iTunes
