Album You Should Own By Now - Adele

Adele - 19
(Amy Winehouse - Drugs) + Kate Nash = Adele
[Pronounced: A Dell. As in, I Want to get a new computer maybe A DELL]

When random artists win Grammys it never really makes me take notice. However, when Adele won "Best New Artist" I went out and got her album. No real reason. I was just looking to get some new music so I figured I'd give Adele a try. This may have been the best thing I've done all year. I got the album a couple weeks ago and I haven't stopped listening. Believe me when I tell you this, every song on 19 is amazing. Granted, some guys who have problems with their masculinity may not be man enough to listen to this album. Screw 'em, their loss.

Adele mixes great singing and great pop songs into a monster album. A lot of times when you listen to a female singer the songs are boring and are just a way to show off singing ability. Adele shows off her voice but leaves you with catchy songs that won't leave your head. If you've heard any Adele song it's probably her first single "Chasing Pavements". That song gives you a good feel for the rest of the album. If you like that song than definitely get this album. If you don't like that song than check yourself for a pulse.

"Chasing Pavements" [Sorry for the asian subtitles. Only version I could find to embed]


"Cold Shoulder"
