British singer-songwriter Adele received a lot of attention for singles that appeared in 2007, and for her fresh yet seductively familiar blend of soul, blues, jazz, folk, and pop. 19, the artist's full-length debut, makes good on the hype by providing 12 lush tracks that showcase Adele's achingly beautiful voice and her skill at turning a phrase, not to mention startlingly honest songs and smart, carefully balanced arrangements. Fans of Feist, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse should sit up and listen; they'll all find familiar qualities to appreciate in Adele, and some new ones as well.
Industry Reviews
[T]he acoustic ruggedness of the instrumentation appears significantly well-thought out and certainly matches Adele's heartfelt chops.
Ranked #38 in Clash's The 40 Best Albums of 2008 -- [A] mature, heart-stopping collection that defied her years with a gorgeous voice to match.
4 stars out of 5 -- Adele's songs possess an ageless classicism....These are extremely grown-up songs in terms of emotional scope and musical arrangement.
Over crafty retro-soul arrangements helmed in part by BACK TO BLACK producer Mark Ronson, Adele croons lovelorn lyrics in a smoky voice much more mature than her 20 years would suggest.
3 stars out of 5 -- [The album] shows off a vocal instrument that smokes the competition. Check out 'Cold Shoulder,' a lover's blues, produced by Winehouse's secret weapon, Mark Ronson...
