Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

2008 debut album from the singer/songwriter. Citing her influences as diverse as Etta James, Jill Scott, Bjork, Dusty Springfield, Billy Bragg, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, The Cure and Peggy Lee, Adele is a truly unique new artist. With her mix up of R&B and Soul served up with a healthy dash of feisty London attitude, she spins beautiful dark stories of loves won and lost and sometimes just daydreamed about. 12 tracks. XL.

I'd heard about Adele and how her style was soulful and bluesy, and was not disappointed with this album. She has a really unique, deep and low voice that really goes with her style - I can just picture her in a smoky hall, burning up the stage. I didn't like all of the songs on the album (some are a little too slow for my taste), but there are several real gems ( "Right as Rain" is upbeat and cheeky fun). I'm enjoying this influx of neo-soul/blues from across the Pond, and I totally recommend this album.

CDs are awesome. The live tracks on the bonus CD are worth the cost. Bluesy and raw. Listening to Adele it's hard to remember that she is only 19. Sounds like the old jazz and blues of the 30s and 40s.

I really like this CD. I listened to the entire thing on a rainy saturday afternoon and was quite pleased. I buy music based on what I like and I don't care if she sounds or doesn't sound like somebody else. I think her music is good on its own and that is all that matters. I am not really sure how to classify her music...it is kind of earthy. So forget about comparisions to other people and judge the music on its own merit.

Amazing sound comes from this Brit! Never thought so much soul could come from across the pond! Definetly a must have, as soon as i heard her first song I pre-ordered the cd! There are other songs on the cd that are really bluesy(Crazy for You,DayDreamer)So if your into blues you'll love it! My all time favorite is Melt my Heart to Stone. I can really relate to that! Just keep on singing Adele!
Great Even if You're Not 19 - Reviewed on 2008-08-22

This girl's voice is unbelievable - so wise and soulful at such a young age and it's not enhanced or covered up with any electronic effects like so many young artists. The music speaks to the human condition so no matter what your age you can relate. If you're into blues, soul, or even light jazz, you will dig this.
