 Should I give up or should I just keep chasing Amy January 18, 2008
21 out of 57 found this review helpful
I say No! No! No! The singing style is so obviously lifted from the Amy Winehouse school of vocals as to be an embarrassment. There has been a gap in the market for this type of vocal delivery while Tattoohouse has been in and out of rehab. The cynical among us might say that nature abhors a vacuum and look who the marketing men have supplied to fill it? Well guess where I stand. One reviewer says she's been around for a few months. Probably the same amount of time Winelake has been out the game. Catch my drift. As for the lyric 'just keep chasing pavements'? What on on earth does this facile and fatuously banal lyric mean. Nothing basically. In effect you can see the empty headed thought process which started with 'just keep chasing rainbows'. Hmmm that's too obvious and been done before. Let's make it more modern. '...chasing payments'...No too mercenary. 'Pavement!' that's it! Oh god give me strength. Utter pish as they say north of the border. Please Amy, get out of rehab, come back and show this up for the wannabee X-factor lift music it really is.

This debut album from Adele is absolutely excellant. Not only has she got a great soulful voice but she also has great material and can sing live which I think makes this the best debut since Lily Allen back in 2006!
If you love witty lyrics (Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Arctic Monkeys) that are sung in a soulful voice (Amy Winehouse, James Morrison) then this is the album for you.
Stand out tracks =
Daydreamer
Chasing Pavements
Melt My Heart To Stone
Hometown Glory

Blown away by adele's single and I am itching to buy it when it is released later this month. Her voice is awesome. I have Amy Winehouse album too and she is another brill talent at the moment.
I am 48 and I love Adele's voice and my daughter of 26 loves her too after I told her to watch her on you tube.
Bigger things to come i'm sure for Adele
Hometown Glory January 9, 2008

Adele has a beautiful voice, which is showcased well on her debut album 19. Any fan of this lady will be familiar with some of the songs on here. The album opens with two favorites Daydreamer and Best For Last, both with their striped down quality intact. Some surprises though. The Bob Dylan cover Make You Feel My Love sounds Elton John circa 70's, it's a great example of a ballad done well. While Tired, a Cure like pop track is a jumpy contemporary chart hit, if I ever heard one. Adele's Mark Ronson collaboration Cold Shoulder, a raw string filled 007 charm.
As for the rest, well they're just Adele doing what she does best, brilliant jazz tinged soul with a contemporary edge. And there's not many singers around who can match her standard.
Then there's Hometown Glory.

Adele has been around for many months now and her song Hometown Glory was her breakthru song, and a total master piece. Her voice and lyrics are currently 2nd to no-one. I suggest if you are unsure you simply go to her myspace page and listen to some of her songs... then quickly get back here and order the album! She will be the biggest UK female artist of 2008 with awards a plenty of that I am sure. Yes there are many female singers around at the moment, but none and I mean none of the quality or uniqueness of this talented young lady.
Don't Miss this one!!
