21 (Adele album)

"Adele can truly belt like a number of legendary female vocalists of the past. However, she does have versatility that moves her music beyond the standard diva showcase. She can tower over the martial beats of the album's first single "Rolling In the Deep" or pull back to a gentler bossa nova style interpretation of the Cure's "Lovesong," and then convey utter heartbreak in the album's closer "Someone Like You." She can dig down deep into her blues heart for the sway of "One and Only." The sheer power and emotion in Adele's voice is endlessly stunning."
