Rolling Stone (p. 76) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] shows off a vocal instrument that smokes the competition. Check out 'Cold Shoulder,' a lover's blues, produced by Winehouse's secret weapon, Mark Ronson..." Entertainment Weekly (p. 70) - "Over crafty retro-soul arrangements helmed in part by BACK TO BLACK producer Mark Ronson, Adele croons lovelorn lyrics in a smoky voice much more mature than her 20 years would suggest. " Q (Magazine) (p. 105) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Adele's songs possess an ageless classicism.... These are extremely grown-up songs in terms of emotional scope and musical arrangement. " Clash (magazine) (p. 62) - Ranked #38 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "[A] mature, heart-stopping collection that defied her years with a gorgeous voice to match. " URB (Magazine) (p. 88) - "[T]he acoustic ruggedness of the instrumentation appears significantly well-thought out and certainly matches Adele's heartfelt chops. "

outstanding, refreshing vocalist For me, Adele has a new and unique vocal style, with a familiar sixties/seventies feel which attracted me to her voice immediately. I also saw her on SNL and thought her performance and appearance were great!
