Adele

In the Computer Room, Listening, Music,

This is what I’m listening to these days.

Adele is, according to the BBC’s Sound of 2008 list, the most promising new music talent in UK. Her debut album is called 19 telling us about her age and it topped the British charts this year. In a way she sounds very much like her classmates Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash and she went to the same performing school in South London.

And now… fancy listening to her performing live (Adele_Chasing Pavements) ?
