ADELE

Vocal ability was revered once again this century with this pack led by the likes of Alicia Keys, Sam Smith, Amy Winehouse and Ed Sheeran. Without doubt, the main beneficiary of this trend is Adele. Not only can her voice evoke an emotional reaction, but the English singer / songwriter knows how to use lyrics as part of her arsenal. All four of her studio albums have reached number one. In 2008, she scored a #2 hit with “Chasing Pavements”. Since then, she has topped charts around the world with singles that include” “Rolling In The Deep”, “Someone Like You”, “Hello” and “Easy On Me”.
