Discussion

After being bombarded with flashy hip hop music on the radio 24/7, I was wondering if real music existed anymore. By that I mean, Music with soul, heart and emotion. I honestly thought all hope was lost; but suddenly a voice strikingly & powerful comes in. A new voice, to bring balance and make sense to the world of music. I will admit, I was not familiar with Adele’s previous work. I became familiar with Adele after going to FYE (For Your Entertainment) and listening to the album play. After listening to Rolling in the Deep I was instantly hooked. I recall going to YouTube and checking her previous work, which just gets better with every play.

The album has a total of 11 tracks, of the 11 tracks, I like them all!! It is that good!! This is an amazingly well arranged album; both lyrically and melodically. Adele’s voice is something that can only be described as Epic, it shakes you up as you here the songs play. By the way, each track transcends smoothly, with perfect timing, which is one of many reason why this Album works. Most of the tracks refer to broken heartedness, expressing deep emotions etc. Cleverly, the lyrics go well in balance with the rhythm of the music. The overall feel i have for the artist is a fusion of R&B, Soul and some lite pop in between..But not too much. I will admit I’m not much a music connoisseur, but I know how to differentiate between real and synthesized music… and this is real music. Quite frankly, I recommend this album to everyone, if you have yet not heard Adele, please do. I won’t be surprised if Adele becomes the new sensation, pushing out of the way Lady Gaga and Katy Perry (no disrespect to either) So with this I leave you her single, Rolling in The Deep, let me know if you agree or disagree with me about Adele’s Album:21.
