“A magnificent new artist from the U.K.” said Alicia Keys about breakthrough UK sensation Emeli Sandé will launch a U.S. theater tour in January 2013.”I just love her style and her flow. Super raw.”

Sandé is set to perform shows in New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, and other major cities, performing tracks off her brilliant debut album Our Version of Events, which was released on June 5th by Capitol Records and has received rave reviews.

Our Version of Events is the best-selling album of the year in the UK, garnering her a BET Award earlier this year and Sandé is currently up for two Soul Train Awards (Best New Artist and Best International Performance for her single “Next To Me”).
