Emeli on…

Healing through her craft: “Music helps you process so many emotions”

What she wants listeners to gain from How Were We To Know: “[Love] can protect you. I’m hoping that by laying my soul bare in this album, exploring all my imperfections and vulnerability, it will allow people that space to cry, to let it go, breath it out, and be vulnerable themselves”

What she’d like to achieve next: “I want to go back to university to study music”
