I try to speak of a love that not necessarily romantic. I think there is so much love between people and so much love people want to give but it's harder and harder these days to show that, to celebrate that, you know? Emeli Sande celebratedaygive share on social
We started very slow in America. It was small acoustic shows. We played places like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago and everywhere there has been a great reaction. It has been really lovely. They listen to the lyrics and the melody over there and the reaction has been fantastic. Emeli Sande acousticamericaangeles share on social

I'm not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there's no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected. Emeli Sande bothercategorylimit Change image and share on social
Just thinking of all the things I'd done getting there and everything I've sacrificed to do so. But what's happening now makes it worth it. Emeli Sande happenhavemake Change image and share on social
I want to speak for people that may not feel like they're being spoken for at the moment. And I want to make a connection between the world around us and the charts. Emeli Sande chartconnectionfeel Change image and share on social
I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You're knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to believe what you're doing. Emeli Sande believebiteclown share on social
'Clown' was written when I couldn't find anyone who believed in me as an artist. Maybe those labels will think twice next time a young songwriter comes along. Emeli Sande artistbelieveclown Change image and share on social
