19 by Adele
19 year old Adele – another young British soul singer. Like Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Imogen Heap and Kate Nash, she too graduated from the performing arts Brit School in Croydon. Like Joss Stone, Winehouse and Duffy – she is a rich and vibrant singer, coming from now a not so unlikely place and age. Adele wrote her first album Hometown Glory at 16, and gained a record deal from it via myspace to go on to become the international superstar who you can't seem to escape.
The album boasts production from Eg White (Duffy), Mark Ronson (Winehouse) and, Jim Abbiss (Editors, Arctic Monkeys). All 3 producers leave a different stamp and feeling. Ronson was unfortunately limited to just “Cold Shoulders”, which is as good as anything he did on Winehouses' Back to Black. Whites' tracks have a larger threshold, fuller strings sections and more movement. And my favorites generally are from rock producer Abbiss, who is the most minimal. Between the 3, every track is well produced, every song is at least good, and several are ridiculously great.
My CD sampler 3 tracks are:
Daydreams
Best For Last
and Hometown Glory
