| Limited enhanced pressing of this 2008 debut album from the singer/songwriter featuring the enhanced video for 'Chasing Pavements' added as a bonus track. Citing her influences as diverse as Etta James, Jill Scott, Bjork, Dusty Springfield, Billy Bragg, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, The Cure and Peggy Lee, Adele is a truly unique new artist. With her mix up of R&B and Soul served up with a healthy dash of feisty London attitude, she spins beautiful dark stories of loves won and lost and sometimes just daydreamed about. |

Entertainment Weekly (p.70)
