I wasn't intentionally trying to create my own path or be original, it was just I needed to say certain things and I needed to express myself, and that's how it came out.
Emeli SandePeople that come to my shows are definitely people that feel outsiders. They feel like I don't feel sexy, I don't feel like - I can't go out every night on Friday and I can't connect to that, and I feel so much pressure to do that.
Emeli SandeThe focus is on singer/songwriters now rather than huge shows. I mean, of course there's always a place for that too.
Emeli SandeI 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.
