2CD Deluxe Edition Of One Of The Biggest Debut Albums Ever!
Adele Adkins was a 19 year old soul singer from London and one of the most talked about artist in the UK at the time, even though she'd only released one limited edition 7" to date ("Hometown Glory", which now going for up to $100 on eBay!).
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 love's lost and memories resonated with all who heard them.
'19' is an album that leans on all these influences, and coupled with Adele's amazing voice, is a beautifully crafted debut album. The album sees Adele working with Jim Abisss (Arctic Monkeys, Bjork, David Gray, Massive Attack), Eg White (Will Young, Darren Hayes) and Mark Ronson (Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Macy Gray).
