Okay guys forgive me, I know I'm REALLY late but a few months ago I just realised Emeli Sande featured on Chipmunk's single "Diamond Rings" in 2009, WOW all this time I never knew that was Emeli singing, even after Heaven was released in 2011 :\ I'm a bit late.... but if you look at the video, I don't think she appeared, that looks like a different woman pretending to sing her parts WTF?...does anybody know why she wasn't included in Chipmunk's video?

I think she only wanted to be seen as a songwriter at that point. And only wanted her face on her own work. Which makes sense. I suppose it's so she stands on her own two feet. I think she might've been studying still at that point too. She still got the money so she was happy lol

Ah yes, I do remember at the time that it was known that the singer was not the woman in the video - didn't clock on to the fact that it was her until seeing this thread!

Emeli was in the video for her feature spot on Wiley's track 'Never Be Your Woman' but she had an afro which looks quite cool

I think her solo stuff is great though

I knew who she was through all her collabs. I've known who she is musically since 2009. I have bee following her since.

Wasn't she always destined to be properly launched only now due to her education being given priority? I'm sure i read that somewhere? Isn't Richard Park her manager?

Yeah she was studying to be a doctor but also wanted a few years to really grown an artist and work out what album she wanted to put out. She has been around for around 6 years really but very quietly and more behind the scenes.

i hope my kind of love goes higher up in the charts - i have to say on the album i also like Maybe, River, Read All About Part 3 and Breaking the Law

She also did a song called Let Go on Tinie Tempah's debut album Disc-overy and i think she done a track with Labrinth...

It's not that uncommon to have someone standing in on a video or a TOTP appearance who was not actually the supporting singer on the recording.

Also, situations where a vocal is sampled (Loleatta Holloway's vocal used by Black Box) and a fake singer performing with the cat to make if look like a band.

Then there's Boney M.

I'll not even mention Milli V ... oops.
