When anyone hears Adele’s music it’s pretty much impossible to not like her voice and style (at least unless you’re one of those who have insanely deep music biases and refuse to like music that doesn’t fit your personal-life genre). 19 was a great record. 21… flirts with a lot of different vibes, and is equally good in my opinion not just for the songs, but for how Adele is exploring more with her music.
Sometimes you feel a gospel and churchy influence, sometime straight folk, and others that London influence that can only really be explained by being there and experiencing the confusion or battle between history and trying to define what’s modern. Adele’s got style and she’s got class. The only complaint I’ve ever has is that sometimes during a live show she says, “Thank you” too darn soon after the song finishes, before the audience even gets a chance to applaud… yes… petty critique, but that’s all I got right now ;)
For information sake, here’s some of the nuts and bolts of Adele’s career thus far from WP:
