Meet one of 2008’s most exciting new talents. Even before she released a note of music – and at just nineteen – Adele had already chalked up a Jools Holland TV show appearance, worked with award-winning producer/artist Mark Ronson, signed to XL Recordings and supported Amos Lee and Devendra Banhart. “As soon as I got a microphone in my hand, when I was about 14, I realized I wanted to do this,” she says. “Most people don’t like the way their voice sounds when it’s recorded. I was just so excited by the whole thing that I wasn’t bothered what it sounded like.” 

A fan of such diverse artists as Jill Scott, Etta James, Billy Bragg, Peggy Lee, Jeff Buckley and The Cure, Adele’s soul-tinged songs of loves lost and memories made are set to resonate with all who hear them. Anchoring it all together is Adele’s incredible voice – an instrument that’s immediate as it is undeniable. “I don’t know what’s going to happen if my music career goes wrong,” she laughs. “I haven’t had a proper job yet.” And, since she’s not about to go on a crack binge (like some other British soul singers), you may consider that one unlikely turn of events.
