New Adele - at last!


It’s been a long time in coming, but it’s almost with us now. What I’m referring to is an actual official release from Adele. I’ve been a fan of the young London singer-songwriter’s lovely acoustic soul music since being introduced to her by Music Like Dirt almost a year ago now. Her track Daydreamer in particular is an absolute cracker, and has been doing the rounds of discerning blogs ever since.

She signed to XL at the back end of last year, but her first single (on 7 inch and free download) isn’t coming out on that label. Instead she’s being released on her mate Jamie T’s Pacemaker Records. Maybe XL are holding on for the big push with Daydreamer, which should by rights be a massive hit, but the gorgeous piano ballad that is Hometown Glory – a paean to London of course – will more than do for now.

Adele is the best thing to happen to music in the UK in the last ten years. She is fantastic!!!
Chasing pavements is a brilliant album.

I'd like to think that this was actually Adele, getting massively pissed and going on the internetz bigging herself up. So drunk in fact that she forgot the name of her own album. But alas...
