... Adele is different in the way she sings, you wouldn't think she was only 19. Her voice sounds Soulful/Jazz going to acoustic and pop. The lyrics are very poignant, in the way that it's way it's sung.

When I first got this album, after the strengths of Chasing Pavements, I decided to purchase this album. I like Amy Winehouse, but not looking good for her. Adele is different in the way she sings, you wouldn't think she was only 19. Her voice sounds Soulful/Jazz going to acoustic and pop. The lyrics are very poignant, in the way that it's way it's sung.
Adele wrote every track and the music
Here is my rundown
1 Daydreamer - This sounds like it's based on a boy who is another relationship, or he cheated on someone.
2 - Best For Last - This sounds like the woman is wanting the man to provide and to treat her right. It feels the woman is getting fed up with the man who seems he isnt bothered about love
3 - Chasing Pavements, This is based on a fight that happened, but to me it's like you don't know where to turn in life. It feels like you don't know what to decide what you want in life. Feels like your running a empty pavement and your not getting what you want.
4 - Cold Shoulder - This I think is I think the woman is concerned her boyfriend is up to no good. The woman want's the man to be truthful to her as all she wants is someone to be true and love her as a human being
5 - Crazy For You - This sounds like the woman is missing her man and she is going crazy because he is not with her, and all she wants is him to be around.
6 - Melt my heart to stone - This song is based I think is woman whom has broken up with their partner and the woman is broken down and severed and is trying to find their feet
7 - First Love - This is a song I feel is based on a old relationship, and the woman is reflecting this, and want's their first love to forgive even tho she was to blame. She wants a answer or she will go away
8 - Right As Rain - I think this based on someone who doesn't want to make up and the woman doesn't at the moment want to feel love cos it only bring them down.
9 - Make you feel my love - This I think the woman is singing this cos she wants someone to feel her love to make her happy inside. But nothing is coming all she wants is someone to feel her love
10 - My Same - This is based on 2 people what ever people say, they will be together whatever happens, if it fails, it fail. But they think they will be a match for 2 people
11 - Tired - This I feel is based on a woman who is stuck in the middle of a relationship, and she doesn't like when her man is teasing her, she feels like she is being mocked at. But the man likes another girl, and is using his girlfriend as a excuse of being with the other girl
12 - Hometown Glory - This is based on London or any city and she doesn't want to leave her hometown behind. She likes the city life, as she is close to her friends and leaving it, she won't be happy.
Advantages: Good Music, Good Lyrics Disadvantages: The style may get a little repetitive, but that isn't too bad.
...I've come to see that 19 is one of the best albums that I own. Adele's vocal range is amazing and utterly beautiful. Every song has meaning. The lyrics are amazing. Some people may say that Adele is the new Amy Winehouse, but from my point of view, she's better. Her style is unmatched. The smoothness of her voice, her lyrics, and her music is amazing. The length of the album is average. 12 songs is not too many, nor too few. Even though Jazz isn't ...

Advantages: Good, all rounder. Disadvantages: If you don't like a soul/jazz/pop combo, eat elsewhere.
...voice and buy her debut, 19. OK, so it's not as edgy as Winehouse's 'Frank', and lyrically doesn't match Amy's cutting, street-savvy lyrics, but her voice is quite incredible. Raspy and soulful, she's like a warm tub of honey with a twist of lemon. Vocally she sounds way beyond her years.
I love that her image isn't 'the norm' and that she hasn't (yet) been tainted by the media hype. She comes across in her music as a wholesome, good humoured, girl-next-door ... ...by a 19 year old (with a particularly mature voice). Ok, so some of it's a bit too pop-sheen for my personal taste, but when she pulls it off so well, I can't help but join the masses on this one.
Stand-out tracks: Chasing Pavements; My Same; Hometown Glory. ...

This is a pretty good CD with a varied selection of tracks. My favourites are Chasing Pavements, and Hometown Glory. It is a really good CD if you are a fan of Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nuttini, etc.
The lyrics for this album are really meaningful when living in the city. It is a CD for young adults and teenagers.

Advantages: great first album Disadvantages: seems a little rushed in recording it
When I bought this album I thought she was going to be a bit like Kate Nash, but she is not Adele has her own very unique style, a lot more soul and a bit jazzy at times. Adele has a unique voice as it's unlike most other recording artists, the only person that I think she sounds like is Amy Winehouse and their music styles are slightly different.
If you have only heard chasing pavements, don't judge the album on that, because she has a better variety ... ...There are five amazing songs on this album these are Chasing Pavements, Daydreams, Best For Last, Hometown Glory and Cold Shoulder.
What's more Adele wrote all of the lyrics on the album she also wrote most of the music for the songs as well so she is one very talented lady who deserves a lot of respect as there are not many artists these days that sings and writes their own material .
I think that you should give this album a try. ...

Album Notes: Personnel: Adele (10-string bass). British singer-songwriter Adele received a lot of attention for singles that appeared in 2007, and for her fresh yet seductively familiar blend of soul, blues, jazz, folk, and pop. 19, the artist's full-length debut, makes good on the hype by providing 12 lush tracks that showcase Adele's achingly beautiful voice and her skill at turning a phrase, not to mention startlingly honest songs and smart, carefully balanced arrangements. Fans of Feist, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse should sit up and listen; they'll all find familiar qualities to appreciate in Adele, and some new ones as well.
Album Reviews: 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." URB (Magazine) (p.88) - "[T]he acoustic ruggedness of the instrumentation appears significantly well-thought out and certainly matches Adele's heartfelt chops."
