Big Life-managed Emeli Sandé has signed a global deal with Chrysalis Records, just in time for the release of her fourth album.

“The unreserved belief and respect they have shown to me and my music gives me great faith that this is the perfect home for my fourth album,” Sandé said of her new home. “I very much look forward to our future together and the exciting journey ahead.”

Sandé scored three Top 10 albums, including her #1 debut, and three Top 5 singles during her previous deal, with Virgin Records. The four-time BRIT Award winner has collaborated with a range of artists, including David Guetta and Rudimental.

Jeremy Lascelles, CEO Chrysalis Records, said her new album “combines all that we know and love about Emeli, centered around THAT voice, with a stunning set of songs that will surprise and excite everyone.”
