07 AUGUST 2020 (TORONTO, ON) - Multi-platinum, award-winning recording artist Emeli Sandé MBE announces new track, "I’ll Get There (The Other Side)," taken from the soundtrack of the new film EMPEROR, which will be released on EMI Records on the 7th August.

Written by the legendary, eleven time Oscar nominee, Diane Warren (Aerosmith Don’t - Want To Miss a Thing, Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me, LeAnne Rimes – How Do I Live), “‘I’ll Get There (The Other Side)’ is the only original song to be featured in the movie, featuring emotive lyrics perfectly matched to the films powerful plot”.

Emeli says:

"I was so inspired by the true legend of Sheilds ‘Emperor’ Green that the film is based on.

"The film is a reminder of African royalty, dignity and perseverance which shone through even during the darkest, most oppressive periods of our history. It is a reminder to me that no matter what situation you may be placed in physically, freedom of the mind and innate self respect, although difficult, is ultimately within our control.

"Only through knowledge of our true history can this be made secure. I hope that in singing this song, I can play a small part in paying homage to my ancestors' unbreakable spirit of determination for freedom".

The stunning video is directed by iconic British photographer Rankin. His signature creative flair, combined with powerful clips from EMPEROR, beautifully captures the song’s message of positivity, belief and hope. You can watch the video below.

The film ‘EMPEROR’ is based on a remarkable true story. Dayo Okeniyi plays Shields Green, an escaped slave who will do anything to free his family. Racing north, Green joins forces with the legendary John Brown in the battle at Harpers Ferry, a key battle of the abolitionist movement and that helped spark the Civil War. You can watch the film trailer here, “EMPEROR” will be released on digital and DVD August 18th 2020 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
