21 - ADELE

I bought this based on the Amazon reviews. I'm usually disappointed when I buy a cd from one of the new artists, but this cd, which is her second, is strong throughout. Well written tunes, simple arrangements, not over produced like so much of the crappy music these days, and this young woman can really sing. She does cool things with her voice without over signing like so many of the over-hyped singers these days and she has soul. I finally got to see her perform on TV, one song on Dancing With The Stars, and she is a brilliant live performer. The best videos on youtube are the live ones from Jools Hollanders Late Nite show, amazing. On her first CD 19, her phrasing and style is a bit all over the place, obviously trying to find her own style and copying others, but the album is good. On this, her second album, 21, she stamps out her own indelible style and it is distinctly Adele. I've had the cd a couple of months now and I never tire of listening to it. All the songs are about a relationship and they are gut wrenching and passionate with strong lyrics. Adele is the real deal; a very good song writer and a great, soulful singer. This is one of the best albums in years by any performer and Adele is the number one selling recording artist in the world. As of this update on June 27, 2011, this cd has been number 1 on the global charts for 16 weeks this year. It has sold over 7 million copies (digital and hard copy). If you are a romantic or have ever been in love you will relate to these songs.

Her best cd. A must have. Includes fire to the rain song.

Beautiful sound. Great quality. A must have vinyl.

Love The CD every song a masterpiece!! Love Adele❤

Wanted to listen to some Adele. Great idea

I ordered the Vinyl variant of Adele 21 while it does sound good, it also has a faint warp, not enough to affect the music but it is visibly noticeable as it spins , im assuming because it sat in the back of a hot delivery van. but i can still enjoy it fortunately, just keep this in mind

Great music. She is the best!

All I can say is ahhhhhh. I love Adele. Her 21 album is a treasure trove of soulful and beautiful music. Highly recommended.
