Emeli Sandé isn’t the first [or maybe hundredth] soloist that comes to mind when thinking of an intoxicating club groove rooted in house-pop rhythms. The Brit songstress is best known for her fearless ballads.

But she’s shed that established sound on her latest release “Starlight,” an Illangelo-produced dance track sure to turn heads. The first sample of her upcoming third album is an upbeat party-starter from the outset, an electrifying atmosphere that Sandé’s always-engaging vocals lend themselves to easily.

Old fans can appreciate the shift in sonic disposition while new can embrace a talented act for the first time; stream and download now:
