Adele- Keep Rockin'

"We could've had it aaaaaaall... Rollin' in the Deeeeeep."

Sounds oh so familiar, doesn't it?

Ugh, now you're wondering, 'God, V, why do you do this to us? Why does it sound so familiar?'

Maybe it's because it's that song that's on every radio station called "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele.
Now you've got it! :)

the best singer ever


"Rolling in the Deep" and her album 21 are and have been number one on iTunes for a while now and I'm actually very happy about it. Not just because it's a great song and album, achieving almost 5 stars on iTunes, but because she deserves to be as number one. Adele is a wonderful and powerful singer, with such a pure voice. 

When her first album, 19, had dropped about two years ago, the only song I really liked was her first single, "Chasing Pavements" but I wasn't actually obsessed with it. It was just a really good song sung by a girl who had a good voice.

Then when her sophomore album, 21, had been released just a few months ago, I swear, every single artist or actor were praising her via Twitter or Facebook:



Yep. From Adam Lambert to even Tyler Blackburn (Caleb from PLL), people have been talking and talking and talking about Adele's new album. And I must say, it is phenomenal. 
I know, I know, I am late for reviewing the album, mostly because it was released around in February but I don't care. Since Feb, I have been obsessed with the album and I wish to share it with ya'll.

Okay, here's how it's going to go. I am going to rate each song out of five and give you my opinion on the song.
1. Rolling in the Deep: 5/5. It is one of my favorite songs off of 21. Her voice is really powerful in this one.
2. Rumor Has It: 3/5. Not one of my favorites at all. I don't know, I just don't like it that much.
3. Turning Tables: If I could give this song a 6/5 I would. It is so mezmerising. Her voice is just so beautiful along with the piano. And the words are so powerful, "I won't let you close enough to hurt me".This song sounds impossible to sing live but of course, Adele mesmerizes everyone and sings it even better live.
4. Don't You Remember: 4/5. It's good, not the best though. Her voice really belts out in the chorus.
5. Set Fire to The Rain: 5/5. So, so, so, so good! One of the best songs off the album. The words, the beat, her voice just all come together to make an unbelievable song about heartbreak.
6. He Won't Go: 3/5. Also not one of my favorites. It's alright but not amazing.
7. Take It All: 4/5. Really good with the piano. It's about a guy who breaks up with her and she doesn't understand why because she gave everything she had to him and he took it all. Really, really good.
8. I'll Be Waiting: 4/5. It seems like whenever she has a piano around to give her songs a bluesy feel, it just turns out really well because her voice can just adapt to anything really. I don't really listen to this song much because I'm not such a blues girl but it is still enjoyable. 
9. One and Only: 4/5. Wow, so powerful. Once again, she's with the piano, just making it amazing again.
10. Lovesong: 4/5. Sounds very Latin in the beginning, I don't know, maybe I'm just weird. But nevertheless, it's a really good love song.
11. Someone Like You: 5/5. One of the best songs by far. It's about how she goes to one of her past lovers who is married and is well off and she tells him that she will look for someone like them but he should never forget her. It's really sad but so, so well sung.

Overall, the album is really, really good! Job well done Adele! :)
