Fashionable Mention: Adele, 21 Rolling into Spring and headed for summer fashion collection in full bloom. Plugging in on some fashionable music is absolutely necessary and essential to the soundtrack of our lives. In the catalog will defiantly have to Adele Adkins, 21, the sequel to her smash debut 19. Something about Adele’s music just feels familiar. Her second release off the highly anticipated album, “Rolling in the Deep,” is a strong example of what is so attractive about this R&B Soul singing British Female Artist. Her powerful belting crashes into every note like giant waves into big rocks. Adele’s performance is unforgiving, truthful and soul searching which strikes a familiar cord. As her album titles announce, Adkins is barely legal. With a tear in her voice and an appetite for self-destruction, Adele tells it like it is on every track, delivering a romantic volatile record of youthful femininity. However, she still suffers from a clear case of a broken heart and wears it like a permanent tattoo. Perhaps she is aiming for another Grammy win in the near future, hence the Spring release. “Don’t you Remember” shows off Adele’s vocal talent as she seems to effortlessly bend and mold her notes into a simple question, “Don’t you remember, the reason you loved me before”? Adkins will not be denied when she lays her voice down her voice with heavy conviction and beckons for an answer that’s completely out of reach. Adele also covers “Lovesong” on this album which is a treat, since she has a gift for taking an old song and breathing new life into it with her sultry oohs and aahs. Adkins has a stylish voice that will make you come back for more over and over again, just to hear how she sang the last verse. Adele wails and writes harder, dishing out the dramatic production flourishes to suggest a lover’s Judgment Day. Other mentionable tracks are “Take It All,” “Someone Like You,” and “Turning Tables.” If you’re planning on a road trip this summer, you should be taking 21 along with you for the journey.
