21, Adele (2011)




Compelling a mixture of apparent character and sheer magnitude, Adele's voice infects us with emotional ecstasy. And this she has done flawlessly, yet again, in her second album, 21. Shamelessly exposing the evident rawness in her music, it’s impossible not to relate with her songs- most of which are gloomy taint of heartbreak tales.

In Rolling in the Deep, she audaciously states, “We could have had it all”, revealing the deep lament of ending a special relationship. While in Someone Like You, she brazenly confesses, “Sometimes it last in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”, following it with a bittersweet ‘all-the-best-wish’ for her ex lover. In the song Don’t You Remember, she utterly begs, “Please remember me once more”, optimistically hoping that she’s not erased from the depths of someone else’s memory.

Like her first album 19, Adele’s 21 is a completely honest and raw compilation of heartbreaking tales, especially highlighted with the singer’s powerful voice and emotional intensity, which makes it all the more captivating.
