Music Review: She's so talented, she's sublime
Rating: 5 Stars
I ADORE ADELE. She is the most soulful, honest, real incredible talent out there today. Her sold out world tour is proof enough, but you don't need other people to tell you she's a unique rarity.
I saw Adele in concert in San Francisco on Jan. 29, 2009 at The Harfield. I can remember it like it happened last night. She's a juxposition of what she presents with and projects at first glance and then she begins to sing and you know, without a doubt, if you too have depth, that this soulful, honest, extrodinary, god given gift of a talent, is exposing herself right before a bunch of strangers, she's letting you in on pain she's felt in her past and opening and projecting with her powerful voice, that you try to plant yourself firmly and keep yourself from being swept away but then you finally give up after five torturous seconds and release all inhibitions and go with the magic of the knowledge that while Adele is singing live in front of you that you are having an incredible musical experience. I hope it's not a once in a lifetime experience for me, I know it's difficult to get tickets for her live performances, after she increased some performances in the US, the LA sold out too quickly for me to get tickets.
If you doubt this listen to "Someone Like You." Also, youtube, "Fool that I Am", dear Lord, that woman has depth. She feels deep. she also, will give us more as she as a person goes through more life experiences, hopefully she'll be with someone she can be safe with and the world of true love will open for her. Songs might come about that are so soaring, that we'll benefit. Right now, as she describes herself as 'heartbroken soul', I want one day for her not to go through heartbreak. You leave after one of her performances wanting the best for her. She just let you in, and be privay, to some of her past emotional pain and it leaves you if you have any depth at all, to say, you have a bright future ahead of you Miss Adele, if you want it. Want it she does, she's given up drinking and now tackling stopping smoking, it hurts her thought from what I've read, if that's a true quote, (you have to be careful what you read). She might of seen how she could let her pain sweep her down stream to a dark lake and she is taking control, instead of what could take control of her. She remind me of a tree, solid in the ground, soaring above most and growing all the time.
I had her CD quite awhile before the concert. I didn't go to see her actually, I was there to see James Morrison who opened for her. It was a sold out concert because of everyone there to see Adele not James Morrison, most people I talked to hadn't heard of James Morrison. I, of course, liked both, but after James sang, the mood of anticipation for Adele in the room was palpable. She came on stage all in black, her hair wrapped loose in the back in a chignon kind of thing and a black wrap around her shoulder with ballet flats. Her body language was insecure and kind of girlish, she kind of shuffled in a kind of young girl way to the microphone. It surprised me because my CD of her was not what I expected of her.
Then she started to speak in her British accent, kind of Cockneyish to me. I loved her accent, and then she introduced her first song,I was instantly smiling, loving her the minute she came out. The stage was sparse with musicians, she had four violinists with her which I was looking forward to, but other than that just a handful of musicians and her and...ADELE'S VOICE. She began her first song and the room was completely, all soul encompassing, listening to every beautiful note. Her sophistication, her magic, her gift had us all captivated. She could sing really basically anything and it would be good. It's how she sings it, her depth, delivery, she FEELS a song and you feel it right along with her. I liked her before and I was looking forward to seeing her, but I didn't know she would be THAT GOOD.
Between her pure talent, her taste, and songwriting skills on top of that, this women could and,I am sure, will have a lifelong career if she wants. She is that good. She kind of defies her persona, that voice seeming to come out of nowhere, but just as an artist paints a beautiful piece of art, she delivers divine and it's always with her. I wanted to ask her, "Do you really realize how good you are?" I think she knows but what she gives to her audience, you are amazed that voice comes out of her, her youth, that much sophistication. I felt like Etta James was embodied in her, with a intuition of soul and jazz amd it's her beauty of face and smile. I left wishing the best for her in her life. Also, wondering what would I give to have the gift that she has, to be able to express the depth of my soul through a kind of caliber of talent she possesses.
Today in my car I had track three, 'Turning Tables' on repeat, it's so good, it hurts. 'Rolling in the Deep', is burns, it's so good. One day she won't be a woman scorned. "He Won't Go', eludes to that. "Take it All", breaks my heart. I so relate to it. Thanks Adele. As Adele grows and doesn't need validation from males, and as she let's it sink in how much she is validated, her fans can't, because she knows that do not know her, so all of the validation won't do it through her music, I believe it will be, her risking, to let herself be even more vunerable and let break all walls down, no more stormy relationships, no more trying to find comfort from the wrong places, we'll all wish or her, the greatness ahead for her.
Meanwhile, I will always love Adele, be devoted, loyal and always buy her music. Her uniqueness, that beautiful, beautiful porceline skin, that is so more than one would realize, that dimple in her chin, those large, expressive green, sparkling gems of eyes she has that give you a glimpse of her depth, and that manner of hers, when she puts in nail between her teeth, a gesture, I love that she does, her laugh, her taste, her gutsy, ballsy confidence that she projects that could be what she projects to protect her all of it, makes me love her more. There is not one singer in the world today, that I could think is anyone close to what I feel for how I love and relate to Adele. Gaga's little monsters, meanwhile as they are all caught in all the hype, we have her purity, all she needs is her voice and all that depth she has. I love when she said in her ballyness 'I don't rely on my tits to make hits." Love you Adele!
Adele's latest, with her great taste and talent,is the reason we buy music. Her career will, I feel certain, as she continues to live and experience more and more, will keep rising. I look forward to her future songs, her music is going to be a continual benefit for her appreciative and devoted listeners. This is music as it was meant to be when you want it to speak to the soul.
Description of 21
21 is the eagerly awaited sophomore album from British singer-songwriter Adele. It?s the follow up to Adele?s critically acclaimed, Grammy award winning debut album 19 (both named after her age at the time the songs were written). Recorded in Malibu and London, 21 offered Adele the opportunity to work with such luminary producers and songwriters as Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson and Fraser T. Smith, as well as continuing to work with Francis ?Eg? White and Jim Abbiss.This new collection of songs showcases the growth of this incredible artist, who at the very young age of twenty two, exhibits the poise of a seasoned veteran. Adele?s music takes some new direction while staying true to her signature style. ?I discovered lots of artists I'd never heard of, particularly Wanda Jackson, Allison Krauss, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Neko Case, Lady Antebellum and Steel Drivers who I fell in love with. Then I delved in to more from artists I've loved forever - Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Elbow, Mos Def, Alanis Morissette, Tom Waits and Sinead O'Connor. There's something in every single one of these artists that have really really inspired 21.?
