Emeli Sandé on telling the truth: 'You don't have to be passive or ladylike about it'

Singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé has opened up about her new album Long Live The Angels and confessed that she deals with some difficult themes on the record in a very honest way. 

During an interview with Beats 1 this week, the "Read All About It" star explained that her album was born from "a heavy, dark time" and she wanted to write about intense subject matter without being ladylike or passive:

"I called the album Long Live The Angels and for me the whole kind of concept was, is a heavy dark time and I feel that truth and love and honesty, it’s kind of not encouraged anymore, it’s under attack if anything and fear is just like paramount at the moment, so the whole message of the album for me is just, you just gotta tell the truth you know, you don’t have to be ladylike about it, but tell the truth and stand up for what you believe in because it needs standing up for, you know we can’t be passive anymore."
