Limited enhanced pressing of this 2008 debut album from the singer/songwriter featuring the enhanced video for 'Chasing Pavements' added as a bonus track. 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. 12 tracks. XL

ADULT SOULFUL POP:
Each and every song stands on its own merit. Thoughtful, mature voice with a bluesy feel.Loved it!
non stop on repeat:
I play this album in full at least twice a day and a few songs individually in other playlists. I can't wait for the next album.
Different than expected:
As young as she is and after hearing her song Chasing Pavements on the radio, I thought I had figured out what her 'sound' would be. I was surprised at first, but quickly grew to like the album all the way through. She exhibits a maturity that belies her few years and her ease at being a bit experimental is admirable if not always playing in her favor. Overall, this CD is one of my favorites for the year ending 2008. Give it a listen and be a little patient- it will surely be worth your time.
