Emeli Sande provides examples of the following tropes:
- The Cameo: Laya Lewis of Skins fame appears in her "My Kind of Love" video.
- Dark-Skinned Blond
- "God Is Love" Songs: "Next to Me" is about Emeli's relationship with God, and that's easily distinguished once you know the song's backstory.
- My Nayme Is: Emeli isn't a very common spelling of "Emily".
- Something Completely Different: "Heaven", the first single lifted from Our Version of Events, sounds nothing like the rest of the album.
- Signature Song: "Heaven", probably. It's the most anthemic of her catalogue, at least. You could probably make a case for "Next to Me", as well.
- Stage Name: Emeli is her middle name; her actual first name is Adele, which is already occupied by somebody else…
- Older Than They Look: Born in 1988, Emeli definitely looks older than her years.
