Synopsis

Album Description
Import only enhanced two CD 'deluxe edition' of the British vocalist's 2008 debut album includes a bonus disc with 10 live tracks recorded at the Hotel Caf? in Los Angeles including 'Chasing Pavements', 'Melt My Heart To Stone', 'That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On' and 'Many Shades Of Black' performed by Adele and The Racontuers. Also included is an nine minute enhanced section that features behind the scenes footage. 19 is the 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. XL.
 

CD Reviews

Adele outshines her competition
Tio Aztlan | Washington | 01/18/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the first few minutes of this album, you start wondering what all the fuss was about Amy Winehouse. Adele, a classmate of Amy's at the BRIT school, smashes through the pack of today's mediocre voice talents. Though Amy Winehouse is a very good singer, Adele's surpasses her more famous classmate with superior musicality, maturity and tone. Nearly all the songs on the two-disc set (live and studio recorded) are excellent, and a hefty percentage of them were written by Adele. The next step for Adele is to lean less on the voice acrobatics, something she does only a tad too much. Her strong voice, centered-pitch and ability to mix music and lyrics into something that transcends both are a strong enough signature. I very much look forward to future albums from this promising young talent.



Also, get the two-disc set. Almost any current singer out there can sound good in studio recordings. Adele's live performances (disc 2) are even better than the studio recordings and underscore just how impressive an artist she is."
Love this CD

"A friend made me aware of Adele, I had never heard of her. But, now I am telling all my friends about her. She has a dusky, soulful voice and is a great deliverer of text. Her music is easy to listen to, just washes over you. The dual-disk is awesome. The second is an "unplugged" version of the first. I enjoyed both equally. I highly recommend this CD to people who like sultry jazz with an alternative style."
Love this album!

"I am humming to myself all day long. Her music is haunting and lively at the same time. I knew I was going to enjoy her style when I saw her on TV. CM/Oregon"
