Adele 'Chasing Pavements' (XL) She looks like she's staring at pavements never mind chasing them. One too many spliffs then hey Adele. More blue eyed soul from one of tips for the top in 2008. Is it a ploy by the men in the industry to keep themselves in work? or is she one of these myspace generational anomalies? , whatever, she sounds like one of these Amy Winehouse mum rockers who've discovered a long forgotten record collection. Well, whatever I say will have bugger all effect as she's obviously destined for bigger and better things if media hype is to be believed. Good luck to her!

What the label says:

Blues tinged and melancholic, Adele describes ‘Chasing Pavements’ as “It’s me being hopeful for a relationship that’s very much over. The sort of relationship you hate when you’re in it, but miss when you’re not”.A hymn to lost love and regret, ‘Chasing Pavements’ follows Adele’s first limited edition single ‘Hometown Glory’, which introduced Adele to the world to much critical acclaim, with NME calling it “totally, absolutely beautiful”, Q Magazine calling her “the voice of next year”, The Sunday Times saying “a star is born” and Elle commenting “she has a songbook as broken hearted as Leonard Cohen’s”.·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 also recently completed her first solo UK tour, having toured previously with the likes of Jack Penate, Jamie T, Raul Midon, Amos Lee and Devendra Banhart. She will be playing a selection of dates between now and January. The single will include Adele’s version of the Sam Cooke track ‘That’s It, I Quit, I’m Movin’ On’.·Both ‘Chasing Pavements’ and ‘Hometown Glory’ are featured on her forthcoming debut album ‘19’.
