Description

|
|
|
With her clean sweep of six Grammys (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video), Adele tied Beyoncé's record for most awards won in one night by a female artist. Featuring the platinum-selling hits "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You," the bestselling, coming-of-age album resonated massively for listeners worldwide. Adele describes her music as "broken-hearted soul" and it obviously brings solace—and joy—to millions. "Adele's titanic vocal ability … is simply spine-tingling….'Rumour Has It' and the old-school-style soul cut 'He Won't Go' are terrifically catchy, booty-shaking numbers…. The centerpiece of the album, the mega-ballad showstopper 'Take It All' … begins with Adele proclaiming 'Didn't I give it all?' Delivered starkly at first with Adele set against simple piano accompaniment and later backed by a gospel choir, it's an instant-classic sort of song in the tradition of 'The Rose,' 'And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going,' and 'All by Myself' that could stand over the years as a career landmark for the singer and a cathartic moment for fans who identify with their idol's Pyrrhic lovelorn persona."—All Music Guide
