Emeli Sandé recently made her American TV debut on Conan...and one can only wonder why it's taking America SO long to catch on to this AHmazing artist!!!

The 24 year old soul songstress' debut album entered in at number one in the U.K. and come June 5, Our Version of Events will be released in the States!

She's written hits for chart toppers such as Cher Lloyd, Cheryl Cole and Leona Lewis and now, she's stepping out and into her own!

Check out the silky smooth performance of Next To Me (above)!!!

Such a simple, yet soul-stirring song!

We can't wait to see Emeli (whose first name is actually Adele) finally take America by storm this summer!!!

Get to know her now if you don't already!!
