Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It’s not gonna work. Everything that’s good is really instant. Emeli Sande Read Quote
I mean, there’ll always be room for big productions and everything but it’s good to see the other side. Emeli Sande Read Quote
The focus is on singer/songwriters now rather than huge shows. I mean, of course there’s always a place for that too. Emeli Sande Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I tried to bang down a lot of doors but Virgin were the only label who believed in what I was doing. I ended up with the label that understood what I was trying to do. Emeli Sande Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I wanted to make an album that melodically people can connect to; something that reflects our times and the kinds of difficulties we face. Emeli Sande Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, ’cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else’s songs. Emeli Sande Read Quote
