New Music: Adele, "19"

A little blog surfing last night led me to a fantastic music video and a fantastic new artist. I have spent the day floored by Adele and her amazing voice, her amazing songs, her amazing sound. She is soulful, rich, honest and she completely melts me. The video for her single, Chasing Pavements, is so fucking cool:

Not to mention the entire album, which is flawless. Soulful bluesy motown pop fresh from London with a voice that can fill whatever room you happen to be sitting in. As far as the inevitable comparison to Amy Winehouse, she is saucier, livelier, and refreshingly drama-free.

My favorites?
01- Daydreamer
03- Chasing Pavements
05- Crazy for You (the song of the day, methinks)
12- Hometown Glory

Seek it out. This album has made my month.
