  1. Thanks for publishing this post! It was my introduction to this wonderful vocalist.

    In addition to Emeli Sande's rich musicality and her well produced videos, I was struck by her unique hairstyle.

    Your post inspired me to publish a post on my cultural blog that features Black female vocalists with blond hair. Here's the link to that post: http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/03/seven-black-female-singers-with-blond.html

    In addition to Emeli Sande, the other featured vocalists are Joyce Bryant, Etta James, Mary J Blidge, Eva, Beyonce, and Angelique Kidjo.

    Check it out. I think you'll find the hair styles interesting and the music exceptional.
