Emeli Sande: 'I'm writing for Rihanna's new album'

'Clown' songstress Emeli Sande has revealed that she's currently writing music for Rihanna's forthcoming new record

She explained to Digital Spy at the 2014 Ivor Novello awards this afternoon (May 22) that she's 'back in creative mode' and has some exciting projects to work on at the moment:

"There's been a lot going on. I've been back in [the studio] with Naughty Boy, which has been amazing. I've been writing for Rihanna's new album, which has been incredible."

Sande added: "I was with Rodney Jerkins the other night. I feel now I'm back in creative mode."

Earlier this month, meanwhile, Sande admitted that she wishesthere was more focus on songwriting where talent shows like 'The Voice' and 'The X Factor' are concerned: “I just wish there was more [new] songwriting on those shows. And when they exploit dreams, that’s heartbreaking."
