music we love: Adele

A few nights ago I had the pleasure of watching Adele perform at the Highline Theatre.

In a moment of admiration of her voice- this sparked me to think- why are people only getting signed as soul singers these days if they have a british accent? SERIOUSLY... what happened to American greats & the paths they've led up until now?

Have The glory days of Jill Scott, the former Lauryn Hill, and all of their glorious counterparts come to an end? Now you are subjected only to the likes of Amy Winehouse sing-a-likes...not to say these women don't have great talent...but makes you wonder- what is really good in London that aint poppin' here?

Maybe we should all just praise Mark Ronson (responsible for the upstart of Amy, Lily Allen, and now Adele)...anywho...

Adele was awesome! Beautiful spirit, voice, and energy. Initially her attitude in interviews seems a little rough around the edges- but She is just aware of her talent, but not jaded (yet) or cocky. She's simply a nervous little newbie who burps when she's had too much pineapple juice before a show.

And for the record- I STILL don't think anybody does a better Etta James cover than my Girl Christina Aguilera- LOVE YOU GIRL! :) She's always gonna be my #1!


Listen to two of my fave adele tracks off of her album "19."

"Right as Rain"



this is another awesome one "Chasing Pavements" (youtube was funny about embedding the actual video for this one)
