ADELE
March 26 @Rivoli
$12.50
**SOLD OUT**

For those of you who haven’t heard of her, Adele is an emerging UK soul/pop artist. When I listen to her i hear Jill Scott meets Amy Winehouse (minus the drama), with a bit of earthy warmness ala Corinne Bailey Ray.

She’s taken the UK by storm and is coming to take over the Americas. Given that her show at the Rivoli is already sold out, it appears she’s already got a hold of us.

And who wouldn’t, with such an earthy, soulful pop sound. Songs of heartbreak, unfulfiled relationships and not getting what you want round out a sad but gut-wretchingly honest debut album. You can’t help but get sucked into her world and pay undivided attention.

Check out her website, featuring a widescreen version of her title (and most palatable for mainstream) track, “Chasing Pavements”. Be sure to check out Daydreams and Best of Last, demonstrating her raw, honest, stripped down self.

If you have tickets, congratulations – enjoy her now before she grows to bigger and less intimate venues!

“Daydreamer” – Live on Jools Holland
