When the U.K. press began dubbing Adele "the next Amy Winehouse" in late 2007, many thought she was to be another flash in the pan artist, how wrong they were! Whilst the focus on Winehouse seemed to shift away from her music to her crazy, seemingly out of control drug and alcohol fuelled behaviour, Adele I believe was controversial in a much more demure way.
Although the size zero debate had brought into our minds the danger of our image-obsessed society. Female celebs of the time and indeed ‘real’ women were still coming under an unhealthy amount of pressure to conform to certain idealisms surrounding vanity.
Adele came onto the scene proud to be fresh faced and curvy, to show off her belting voice. Having written her own lyrics as well as being musically talented on a piano, she writes from the heart and bares her soul to her audience, making her a true star of our generation.
Back with her new album for 2011, which is rumoured, to have outsold the current top 10 albums COMBINED! I think its safe to say Adele has come back stronger than ever before. ‘21’ has everything we love about Adele as well as some haunting similarities from artists she is renowned to take inspiration from, such as Jill Scott and Etta James. Listening to ‘21’ for the 1st time had the Ameritz team in silence. ‘Rolling In The Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’ were so beautiful, we just had to put them into production straight away. You can therefore imagine how excited we were when we heard she was doing a BBC Live Lounge session, and we are pleased to say she did not disappoint.
After hearing her mind blowing version of Cheryl Cole’s ‘Promise This’, we knew we had to put it into production, so we could be the first to provide it to our customers. I can happily confirm ‘Promise This’ and the Live Lounge Version of ‘Someone Like You’ went into immediate production, before Adele had even left the studio!
Days like that make me very proud to be part of such an amazing team! To hear our cover version and more tracks from the fabulous Adele please follow the link, I hope you enjoy listening/singing to them as much as we enjoyed making them.
