Emeli Sande at the MTV EMAs
Emeli Sande has written a new song about the "heartbreak" she's now suffered from.
Penning the emotional track following her divorce from childhood sweetheart Adam Gouraguine after a year of marriage, it's inspired by their 10 years together.
According to producer Naughty Boy, Emeli's hoping the track will "set the ball rolling" for her to make a comeback next year.
He compared the new song to power ballads sung by music icons Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and noted how it's a collaboration with Jess Glynne.
"It is a heartbreak song and they sound great on it. It's a real Mariah and Whitney moment." he said.
Emeli recently admitted that she was still coming to terms with her relationship breaking down, and the loss of her "best friend" Adam.
"Everyone thought I'd gone mad. 'What do you mean a divorce? We were all at your wedding a few months ago!' But there was just something inside me that said, 'This isn't the life. You're pretending to be someone else.'
"And that's so hard to explain to someone. I can't even explain it now.
"Adam and I had been together since I was 17. He was my only boyfriend. That's the only person I've been with for the past 10 years.
"So [losing] our relationship more than the marriage was the big part for me to deal with.
"Having a friend who'd been my best friend for so long... losing that support and structure in my life was the biggest thing."
