    Amazing beyond words! This album should definitely win countless Grammies as you hear Emeli pour out her whole heart and soul into her music! This is as amazing as Adeles 21 album and should get all the recognition it deserves!

    Un magnifico álbum que mezcla esencias R&B con el toque llamativo que últimamente se esta llevando a la industria de la música, Chillwave, y que aporta una gran parte de lo bueno de este grandioso y magnifico álbum de Emili. Su. otra parte son las criticas sociales que toca en este álbum que pasa muy desapercibido por los tonos de cada canción.

    All of the song are amazing. With her heavenly voice and the power she puts in her sing, it is like the 1st love ever. Only just a few songs are boring.

    My Top 3;
    1. Breathing Underwater
    2. Every Single Little Piece
    3. Kung Fu

    What an amazing album Sandé has produced. Long Live The Angels is a soul masterpiece with the perfect ratio of the ballads and the timid heartbreakers.

    Not as great as Version of Events but still beautiful. Emeli has pipes that take us elsewhere!

    Her penchant for ceiling-shattering pop notwithstanding, the LP also lets Sandé close the curtains and flex her voice in more intimate boudoirs, just a few instruments, and her heartache to keep her company.

    Sande's second album doesn't always sound quite so revelatory [as her debut]: anguished intensity often masks a lack of musical spark, the draggy acoustic trawl of Give Me Something sounding like her namesake Adele at her least bothered. She is much more engaging when she operates at full-grown throttle. [Jan 2017, p.113]

    Too much of Long Live the Angels just feels turgid.
