Hello, Adele

This post is based on bringing Adele to the spotlight. Well, I mean she's already well lit by this 'spotlight' but lets see why!

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is a 24 year old, English born singer-songwriter. She released  her debut album 19 followed by her second album, 21. Each album Adele has released thus far has been named after the age she was when she began recording the album.

Adele is known for her sad. break-up records that provoke emotions deep inside her listeners. If you've heard an Adele song, you know what I mean! Her lyrics capture raw emotions that is portrayed beautifully in her voice. Her songs have often brought her to tears. She sings about her own experiences. 

Her most recent album, 21, broke many records worldwide. To put it into perspective, 21 outsold Thriller in the UK. It won six Grammys this year with Rolling in the Deep scooping the bong for record of the year.

But Adele isn't your average celebrity. Although she has had a majorly successful year, she is ridiculously down to Earth! I recently read that after her first win at the Grammys she worked part-time in the back of a record shop in her hometown. She didn't want pay, she didn't want credit, she wanted to remind herself of her roots and to keep her feet firmly on the ground. Take a look at these pictures. Some are inspirational...

...some are funny!

One of Adele's concerts that I have watched and adore is her performance at The royal Albert Hall.

It's emotional...

...and it's funny.

It's a truly breathtaking performance. Adele sings to the point of crying, yet composes herself to tell the audience a funny story about a song or her past. She connects with her audience, waving at anyone who waves at her. It's a rare concert nowadays in that there are no dancers or big displays. It's Adele, her band, her audience and a cup of honey! You can really see how honored and taken back she is by the response to her as the concert goes on. She's humble and honest, in her songwriting and in herself. I cannot recommend watching this concert enough. It is utterly amazing. Click on this link to watch it. ---> Adele at the Royal Alber Hall, live. (Full concert)

Even Rihanna is a big fan!

I personally am a massive fan of Adele. Hopefully now you are too!
