Adele

Friday · 05-12-2008, 11:46 AM

Adele seems to have found some sort of Massive Attack tribute act to do her production. I'm not fond of her.

Lily Allen is acceptable, but her lyrics are predictable and the whole 'ska' vibe is a little bit contrived for me.

I resent Kate Nash just because she fits into this emerging strand of Billy Bragg type lyricists, whom haven't quite grasped that there has to be some sort of sheen on the realism in order for it to be interesting.

As for Winehouse, I like her alot. Good production, fantastic voice, interesting look and has shown growth from her first album. This is why she gets my vote.

I wouldn't call Adele a "genius" because shes not a genius BUT she is a very talented singer along with Amy Winehouse. Thats it though.

i wouldnt say shes the best female artist around
we still have bjork and pj harvey
sounding a bit retro seems to be in right now so...shes really just hopping on wineo's coattails
lovefoxx and alice glass are far more interesting anyway

Is she that broad that sings "cold shoulder"?

Adele is class, this is the only word to describer her music. Think she's got a fantastic voice and is one of the only genuine talents in a pretty souless, generic, auto-tuned UK chart at the moment where commercial imperative is at the heart of every record label. Her performance at The BRITS was amazing and it deserved the number one it got. I think she's a genuinely nice person as well and more good looking than some people think.

I absolutely agree with you. She has raw talent and although she doesn't
have the flashy performances and music videos full of theatrics and special
effects this doesn't take away from the fact that she is an extremely
talented artist. In fact I think it contributes to her credibility.

Her new album is out now, listening to it for the first time right now. The first album was a lot more bare instrumentally, not giving opinions yet though.
