The minute you hear that voice, the hair stands up on the back of your neck and you realize this is someone special. Critically-acclaimed UK soul singer Adele is releasing her debut album 19 in the States on XL/Columbia Records after debuting at No.1 on the British charts. She's just 19, but Adele sings like a woman three times her age. The first single, "Chasing Pavements," a No.1 airplay hit in the U.K., characterizes her autobiographical approach, written after a brawl in a London club with her boyfriend, which sent her fleeing out the door onto Oxford Street. Adele became the first recipient of the Brit Awards' newly inaugurated Critics Choice Honor in December and 19 has been certified Platinum in the UK. Praise of Adele and her music has been reverberating throughout the UK mainstream and underground music press. By T Johnson

When the U.K. press began dubbing Adele "the next Amy Winehouse" in late 2007, the hype didn't touch upon the heavy singer⁄songwriter influence found in the Londoner's music. Influenced by Suzanne Vega as much as Jill Scott, Adele first made an impression in 2006 when she toured as an opening act for Jack Penate. She had graduated to headlining status by the end of 2007, thanks to BBC Radio 1 playing her single "Daydreamer;" another song, "Hometown Glory," was also released as a single on Jamie T.'s label, Pacemaker. An appearance alongside Paul McCartney and Björk on the BBC 2 television show Later with Jools Holland came next, and a recording contract with XL Recordings was finalized soon after. Early 2008 brought similar luck as Adele found herself atop the BBC's new music talent list, which was compiled from the votes of 150 music critics. That same January, XL issued a new single, "Chasing Pavements," along with her debut album, 19. The title reflected Adele's age at the time of the album's release, and its popularity resulted in the release of several bonus editions throughout the year. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide Information provided by Macrovision Corporation © 2009.
