Adele

Adele is the latest in a growing line of soulful sirens to make it across the pond. Her debut album 19 is stark and honest, and exquisitely showcases her soaring vocals. From losing her lover on the opening track "Daydreamer" to her heartfelt ode to her hometown on the album’s closer "Hometown Glory," Adele’s prowess as a singer/songwriter shines through on every song.
