It’s an extraordinary album and emblematic of an artist emerging defiant and powerful. Feeling attuned with the disenfranchised state of the world, the vision for Real Life is to give people hope and confidence.
Emile’s parents studied together at Sunderland in the 1980s and Emeli was born in the city in 1987.
Speaking after being chosen to be the next chancellor at the University of Sunderland, she said: "Education and music are both central to who I am and I believe that both have the power to change lives for the better. So I am delighted that I can combine my passions in this new role.”
