19 - Adele

When I bought this album I thought she was going to be a bit like Kate Nash, but she is not Adele has her own very unique style, a lot more soul and a bit jazzy at times. Adele has a unique voice as it's unlike most other recording artists, the only person that I think she sounds like is Amy Winehouse and their music style is slightly different. If you have only heard chasing pavements, don't judge the album on that, because she has a better variety of her tracks on here which show cases her abilities. There are five amazing songs on this album these are Chasing Pavements, Daydreams, Best For Last, Hometown Glory and Cold Shoulder. What's ...  Read the complete review

'19' is the debut album by Adele Adkins and went to number 1 in the UK Album Charts upon it's release and has to date sold over 500,000 copies in the UK alone as well as selling over 200,000 copies in Denmark and 600,000 in the US. Here I will give a short, personal review on each of the 12 songs from the standard edition of the album which is available from Amazon for just £4.98 at present and is well worth a fiver of anyone's money with free delivery on Amazon.co.uk if you spend £5 of more. 1. Daydreamer (3:41) - This is a very harmonic start to the album with Adele's sultry tones pouring out of the song after just a few short seconds. It has a ...  Read the complete review

Having now heard her album, to compare her to Lily Allen is a travesty. Adele is far better, her smooth voice and song writing skill for starters... And whilst we're on the subject of comparisons, there's only one similarity to Amy Winehouse - and that is I love both of their albums, when my expectations were low. Daydreamer: A chilled, melodic start to her debut album, but on first listen you kinda want to skip it to speed up your new listening experience. This is definitely one of those tracks you have to listen to a few times. Vocally she is very good. Best For Last: Sounds quite bluesy, simple yet effective guitar backing throughout ...  Read the complete review

With Chasing Pavements released last year Adele became an instant success and rightly so. This young British singer has managed to produce a brilliant first album with a mixture of mellow and upbeat tunes. Songs released from the album so far include Chasing Pavements, Cold Shoulder and Hometown Glory. While Chasing Pavements became an obvious success, Hometown Glory was largely overlooked by the general public until it featured on an episode of Skins thus it re-entered the charts. Of all the songs on this album, Cold Shoulder is probably the weakest so don't judge Adele, or this album by hearing that song on the radio. '19' is actually an exceptional ...  Read the complete review

I got this album about a month or so ago and put it in my car to listen too. I normally am into my funky house music and hed kandi but I thought I would get this album because I saw her performing on This Morning and really liked her. Her voice is really unique and has quite a jazz tone to it, as its a very rich sounding voice and not majorly powerful but beautiful to listen to. The album is fantastic. All the songs are quite varied, but very mellow and upbeat. The songs people will be familiar with are chasing pavements which she released last year, but there are many other tracks which have been released since. The music is quite similar to Winehouse but slightly more ...  Read the complete review
