Album Review: Adele "21"

My most recent musical purchase is Adele's sophomore album, "21". For those of you unsure about who Adele is, she's an English singer-songwriter. You may have seen her on the Grammy's in 2009 when she won best new artist. Her albums are titled by the age that she was when they were written and released. She's very honest in her songwriting and writes about the love and heartbreak in her life. She even does a cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" with a really cool bluesy, jazzy spin to it.

What I love most about this album is Adele's voice. She has a very bluesy, gritty voice that I could listen to all day long. Even better, she knows how to use it. From her careful phrasing choices to dramatic runs, you want to continue to listen to the album to see what she'll do next. This is definitely a must own album!

Favorite songs: "Rumour Has It", "Set Fire to the Rain", "Take It All", and "I Found a Boy".
