 Raw talent November 26, 2008
Probably 4-5 stars for Adele and 0 stars for everything else about the CD.
I first saw Adele on CBS Sunday Morning a few weeks ago. She has an incredible voice with a nicely matured, edgy sound to it. Her vocal control and ability to do almost anything with a note is a joy to listen to. So I went out and bought the only CD she has available - Adele 19. BEWARE: The voice is still wonderful. She writes great songs. BUT the background "music" will drive most musical listeners crazy. It is irritating and a horrible sound. Bad use of electronic stuff - drums and bass or at least people who sound electronic. Really poor orchestrations featuring way too much going on at one time. The result is that it becomes better NOT to listen to Adele than to wade through all that stuff. She is also very young and inexperienced and needs someone to provide her with some direction both in her own approach and especially someone who knows how best to showcase her voice. But as good as Adele may be, it is not good enough to overcome the poor aspects of this production.
 incredible music November 26, 2008
What an amazing voice from such a young person. Adele has a very bright future. Welcome to America!!
outstanding, an exciting new talent November 25, 2008
Adele is ridiculously talented and gifted with a set of pipes that would make Aretha do a double take. She puts it all on show on "19". Both the original compositions and Dylan cover showcase her range and, mature beyond her years, emotional depth. The comparisons to Amy Winehouse are inappropriate; I don't think the two are after the same sound. Winehouse is all about mining the girl group doo wap of the Supremes, et al. to accompany her frank, sometimes debauched lyrics. (I suppose she thinks she's being gritty) Adele doesn't dwell on the base with her lyrics mostly of love, requited and not. The album is made up of ballads and jazz-like numbers that are punctuated by heavy bass. The instrumentation is often spare - all the better to highlight her outstanding voice, which is an instrument in itself. If this is what she can do at age 19, I can't wait to see what the future holds for her and the listening public.
 great cd November 25, 2008
This CD is fantastic. Out of the whole CD, there is only one song that I don't like. I haven't taken it out of my CD player in weeks.
unusual new release November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I saw her on an episode of Saturday Night Live, and thought her sound had a familiar, yet unique sound. I wanted to hear more. I found her CD on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Her songs are great, but a lot of her vocals are the same. Nothing really exceptional, but very entertaining. A cross between Amy Winehouse, and Norah Jones.
