After watching the 51st Grammy award last night i was stunned and very excited to see that Adele was chosen as the best new artist. I have been a follower of her music since I first saw her featured as a "you oughta know" artist on VH1 last winter. I LOVE soul music, and after getting into artists like Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse I have really started appreciating the emergence of blue-eyed soul from the UK. Historically R&B and soul come from African Americans in the US back in the 50's, but right now these talented English ladies are really bringing a fresh sound to soul music. Adele is a singer-songwriter which makes me love her music so much more. Listening to her songs you feel what she's saying because you know she's telling a story through her sweet melodies. Adele's debut album "19" is such a solid album from start to finish, i really really really LOVE IT and I LOVE HER as an artist. After they called her name for best new artist my cousin Merique said, "art won". And its so true. Others nominated for the title of best new artist were Duffy and Jonas Brothers, I personally thought that because Jonas Brothers are such a big success commerically that they would win the award. Hardly ever do artists that are lesser know with better talent get the kudo's that they deserve. I am soooo happy that WHOEVER votes for the winners of the Grammy's actually recognized her rare talent. If you havent checked out Adele your missing out!here are some links to her and her music:
