ADELE - 19

Available on iTunes for $7.99
9.5/10

Adele Laurie Blue Adams, professionally known as simply Adele, is a jazz style, English singer/songwriter who has often been compared to and referred to as “the new Amy Winehouse”. First of all, that’s an insult to Adele. Amy Winehouse has a great voice but isn’t groundbreaking - Adele is extremely talented and much more likable. Not to metion, her record is much much better. Her debut album, 19, was released earlier this year to critical acclaim and has sold upwards of 500,000 copies.

This album is absolutely phenomenal. If you have ever thought about taking my word on anything, take my word on this. If you enjoy jazz or singer/songwriters with originality and an unparalleled uniqueness, Adele will not only flat your boat - she’ll drive the damn thing for you.

When you first play the album, the opening line “Daydreamer sitting on the sea soaking up the sun” will knock you back and immediately bombard your senses with joy. Her voice is therapeutic and melancholy. For anyone who appreciates a great jazz voice, Adele will not disappoint.

I found out about Adele during her performance of “Crazy For You” on Conan O’Brien. She was insanely brilliant and rocked out with just her voice and an acoustic guitar. It’s also one of the best songs on 19. Here’s a link to the video on YouTube. They unfortunately disabled embedding. Go watch that video and come back and try to convince me that her voice isn’t incredible. I dare you.

Here’s a video for her song “Hometown Glory“
