I've been a fan of Adele's since her first release, "19" so it was no surprise how great her second album, "21" is. She has such a powerful voice, and you can really feel her emotions in all the songs. Like her first album, she sings about losing a loved one and the vulnerability you feel when giving your heart to another. She wrote all of these songs last year about one particular relationship, which is similar to what she did with "19." (Both albums are named after the age she was when she wrote the albums.) I think a lot of people (probably more geared toward females) can relate to a lot of her music because a lot of people feel that hurt and vulnerability at some point in their lives. It's hard for me to pick out a few songs to highlight on this album because I honestly love every single song, but if I had to choose a few I'd say the first single off the album, "Rolling in the Deep" is a great choice. Adele also does a fantastic rendition of The Cure's "Lovesong." I've never had the opportunity to see her perform live, but I will definitely be keeping my eye out for her next tour in the area. If you haven't already, I really recommend that you go out and buy/download this entire album.
