Free Music Review: God Save the Queen!
Hit: 5 Stars
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!Free Music Review: Great Even if You're Not 19
Hit: 5 Stars
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. Free Music Review: ADELE is magnificent!!! U will never get tired of her voice!
Hit: 5 Stars
She is the best singer by far in her genre. ADELE is amazingly talented and this album proves it. All her songs from beginning to end will leave you speechless. I love her raspy voice and her lyrics. You will never grow tired of this album, her voice or her lyrics. Her lyrics are catchy, and different from any others out there. My favorite songs are :Best For Last, Right As Rain, Tired, and Cold Shoulder, though I love them all. She is an excellent choice. Purchase this CD! You won't regret it, you will thank me! No No..Thank ADELE...she is wonderful, hear it yourself, it will change your life.Free Music Review: Adele - 19

19 (2008, XL Recordings) Adele's first studio album. ***1/2
The rumors of Adele's voice have gotten so bad that when the name is mentioned, folks who have never even heard any of her songs ask, "Oh yes, isn't that the bird that sounds like Amy Winehouse?" To a degree it's true; Adele's voice is reminiscent of Winehouse, but Adele's doesn't have the growl. Instead, her voice sounds a bit more pure, and, as a result, a bit more mainstream. Namely, it's not as good as Winehouse, but that's not who she's supposed to be.
At the album's start, Adele appears to be nothing more than an acoustic Winehouse, with only her voice and guitar providing the sounds. "Daydreamer" proves to be a great starting point and is one of the best cuts here. It isn't until "Chasing Pavements" where things really kick in, acting as an overtly obvious single, complete with Mark Ronson's signature production - somewhat similar to that of Phil Spector. The album is a real pleasure to listen to - in fact, there are many prime tunes here, such as the vintage-pop of "Cold Shoulder," the slow, sultry "Crazy for You," the pleading "Melt My Heart to Stone," or the wrenching piano ballad "Make You Feel My Love." Despite these numbers - a few of which are really incredible - there are still a handful of duds that weigh the album down, such as the oddly placed "First Love," or the entire first half of "Tired" (which, consequently, turns into a beautiful song for about thirty seconds).
Regardless, she's far better than the run-of-the-mill female singer-songwriters that plague today's music market. No doubt that she will be back with another batch, and as long as she sticks with Mark Ronson - whose production absolutely shines and even saves a few would-be B-side type songs - things can only get better. I hope. (Daydreamer, Crazy For You, Melt My Heart to Stone)
