Blown. Away.
The 22-year-old British songbird unleashes a masterful collection of heartbroken tales told with everything from a bluesy grit ("Rolling in the Deep", "If It Hadn't Been For Love") to gorgeous balladry ("Turning Tables", "Don't You Remember") to roots-tinged folk meandering ("Hiding My Heart"). Of course she throws in a heaping helping of her trademarked old soul cuts ("He Won't Go", One and Only".) But right when you settle in, Adele hits you with a thoroughly pained cover of The Cure's "Lovesong".
Adele hits every base on this and does it all with such a substantial set of pipes that I'm pretty sure she can sing any song and make it sound better.
So to sum it all up: Must have? Yup. Album of 2011? Just maybe...
