Adele '19' album - MusicRemedy

Monday January 28th sees the release of “19”, the debut album by ADELE. Born in Tottenham and raised in Brixton, 19 year old Londoner ADELE has been songwriting and playing guitar since she was 14. Citing her influences as diverse as Etta James, Jill Scott, Bjork, Dusty Springfield, Billy Bragg, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, The Cure and Peggy Lee, ADELE also recently completed her first solo UK tour, having toured previously with the likes of Jack Penate, Jamie T, Raul Midon, Amos Lee and Devendra Banhart.

She will be playing a selection of dates between now and January, including headlining at Blue Flowers at the George IV in Chiswick, London on December 16th.

“19” contains both her debut track “Hometown Glory” and her forthcoming single “Chasing Pavements”. Blues tinged and melancholic, ADELE describes “Chasing Pavements” as "It's me being hopeful for a relationship that's very much over. The sort of relationship you hate when you're in it, but miss when you're not". A hymn to lost love and regret, “Chasing Pavements” follows ADELE’s first limited edition single “Hometown Glory”, which introduced ADELE to the world to much critical acclaim, with NME calling it “Totally, absolutely beautiful”, Q Magazine calling her “The voice of next year”, The Sunday Times saying “A star is born” and Elle commenting “she has a songbook as broken hearted as Leonard Cohen’s”.
