[The Devoted Dabbler] Can't Hear Enough Of: Adele.

[Jen McGowan Designs]

"Rolling in the Deep" is very much a 2011 song, albeit with roots in Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move", The Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" and KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree."

She is a songstress that should she ever come to a venue near you, you must get the ticket. Check her out on Letterman here. She is the real deal...a tender twenty-two years young singing with maturity beyond her years. 


Miss Adele based her new album on songs written post break up with a member of Mumford & Sons, a previous fave here on The Devoted Dabbler, and the results are just fantastic. 


Adele was able to sort of, well, stick it to Mumford & Sons with her Billboard sales: Justin Bieber‘s Never Say Never: the Remixes dropped one slot to No. 2 on sales of 102,000 units. Mumford & Sons "Sigh No More" fell from No. 2 to No. 3 on sales of 71,000 copies. And Mumford & Sons is...Awesome. Go Adele.


Adele's sophomore set, 21 exploded onto the Billboard 200 albums chart, having sold 352,000 copies in its first week of release. This is the singer’s best first-week sales tally and the biggest debut on the Billboard 200 since November 28, 2010, when Kanye West‘s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy debuted at No. 1 with 496,000 copies sold.


Next stop...iTunes!


See you soon.


Enjoy, and if you like it, please share it!
