UK sensation Adele can surely say she “has it all” at the moment. Her sophomore album, ’21’, debuted #1 on the U.S Billboard 200 selling 352,00 units in its first week and is still selling impressively. The album was declared the highest debut of 2011 thus far.
The 22 year old has once again topped the U.S. charts holding on to the #1 spot this week and now has her sights set on her North American tour beginning May 12 in Washington, D.C.

Adele’s 19 was strong. 21 is simply timeless. In the past two years, Adele has refined and reinvented her unique sound that always puts her aching yet powerful vocals and lyrics at the forefront. These are songs that could have been released in the 60s as easily as 30 years from now. Adele has injected her trademark piano ballads with the best from several different musical genres including Americana roots and country, r&b, blues and gospel. The music is exciting and simply is. It lives, breathes. I played a couple songs for my mom, who at forty years older than I, generally criticizes my music taste, and the first thing she said was “Wow, this girl really knows how to write a story–those songs are beautiful.”
