Selah Sue is the stage name of Sanne Putseys, born in Leuven, Belgium, in 1989, a singer, songwriter and guitarist who works soul and R&B through a smoky voice that sounds far older than she was when she started. The Black Part Love EP arrived in 2008 with "Raggamuffin", which became one of her hits in 2011 alongside "Crazy Vibes" and "This World".
Her self-titled debut album in 2011 was a genuine phenomenon: more than 720,000 copies sold across Europe, 320,000 of them in France alone. That year she won a European Border Breakers Award and the Prix Constantin, and in January 2012 she took home the Public Choice Award at the EBBA ceremony. When the album finally came out in the US on 28 August 2012, it drew good reviews and more than 400,000 downloads in a single week, and she was singled out as a fresh face to watch that year.
She's taken her time since, and the records have been worth the wait: Reason in 2015, with its title track, "Alone" and "I Won't Go For More", and Persona in 2022, home to "Pills".
