HB’s 5 Star Treatment is a quirky, off-the-wall way to get to know a few of your fave celebs outside of the questions they are usually asked. From breakup remedies to moments of lust, #TeamBeautiful digs deep and gives your fave celebs something to think about with our 5 Star Treatment.

Emeli Sande has the voice of Celine Dion, the funky stylings of Pink and the stage presence of…herself. You might want to compare her to others, as I have done, but Emeli is beyond compare. The English-born, Scottish soul/funk/pop/R&B singer/songwriter has been making major waves in the U.S. and it’s only the beginning! With a cosign from Sir Elton John and accolades like Brit Critic’s Choice Awards and ELLE Style Award, Emeli’s destined for greatness.

“I have evolved. I’ve changed as a person. My confidence has grown. I feel a lot more experimental now and open to new options,” Emeli gushes of her growing international success. Her latest album, “Our Version Of Events,” we’ve become well-acquainted with her raw and gritty lyrics and her insanely vast vocal range. We’re addicted. And no worries, you will be able to feed your addiction. Emeli’s in the midst of working on her next EP. “I feel like there’s a lot of freedom because it’s just me. It’s a lot darker. I feel very free lyrically,” Emeli openly shared.

*If I was stranded on a desert island I’d bring…my sister, my husband and my piano. They’d have to sit and listen to me write songs all the time.

**How do you express your love…Music. For me, it’s the deepest way I can show someone I love them. I can express with music. I put them before myself–that’s one way I deal with the people I love.

*** The best way to get over a breakup…If we ever have a fight and we’re not speaking, we do the normal things that girls do. You hit the gym, you go shopping, you re-invent yourself for that next man.

**** The one thing that I don’t like about myself…[laughs] I really find it hard to be cool. I’m quite geeky. I just wish I was chill. Especially here in New York, everyone is just really cool. [laughs] I think that’s one thing I’d love to be.

*****What was your last moment of lust…[laughs] My husband. Yeah, I haven’t seen him for a while, but I’m missing him. It’s all in the mind.
