So while the rest of the world may be a little sick and tired of the Adele tornado, I for one can't seem to get enough. After winning the Brit Award for Album of the Year, Adele's domination throughout the award season has been the kind that dreams are made of and one that most artists will never experience in their careers.
The other night I watched Adele’s concert DVD live from the Royal Albert Hall in London. She was, in all senses of the word, brilliant and definitely a person I will make sure I go see if she ever passes through my corner of the world. One of the things I loved about her show, was that she opened herself up to the audience and told the story, meaning and experience behind every song and how she felt in that moment. It was like reading someone’s diary and instantly being able to relate to the words on the page. There were no gimmicks, no backup dancers, big bold stage sets or acrobats flying through the air. Instead, there was simply Adele- a calm figure, poised, powerful and vulnerable as she assumed her position centre stage, and rightly so.

Adele’s album 21 is essentially about the relationship, break-up and healing process after the fall-out with her ex-boyfriend. The lyrics in her album allude to the fact that at the time, she absolutely hated him, but now as she explains the meaning behind the songs, she speaks of him fondly and shares that while they’re both in new relationships, they are still very much in each other’s lives.
As previously blogged about in my recent Grammy's post, late last year Adele modeled for the March issue of US Vogue magazine and the editorial spread is in. These photos are to die for, so enjoy.
