Emeli Sandé on Great Gatsby track: "Jay-Z digged it"

Emeli Sandé has revealed that executive producer Jay-Z complimented her contribution to the Great Gatsby soundtrack.

The Scottish singer and songwriter recorded a cover of Beyoncé's 'Crazy In Love' for the film's musical theme alongside the Bryan Ferry Orchestra.

Speaking to MTV, Sandé said that she hasn't yet crossed paths with Jay-Z's wife Beyoncé, but she added that her track was praised by the man himself. She said:

"I haven't met Beyoncé, but I met Jay-Z afterwards and he was digging it. So that's good."

The 'Next To Me' star added: "It was initially quite daunting, especially because Jay-Z is the executive producer. But [it's] a big honour to be involved, and it was really, really fun going to the premiere and seeing it all come together."
