in late 2007, the hype didn't touch upon the heavy singer/songwriter
influence found in the Londoner's music. Influenced by Suzanne Vega as
much as Jill Scott, Adele first made an impression in 2006 when she
toured as an opening act for Jack Penate. She had graduated to
headlining status by the end of 2007, thanks to BBC Radio 1 playing her
single "Daydreamer"; another song, "Hometown Glory," was also released
as a single on Jamie T.'s label, Pacemaker. An appearance alongside Paul
McCartney and Björk on the BBC 2 television show Later with Jools
Holland came next, and a recording contract with XL Recordings was finalized soon after. Early 2008 brought similar
luck as Adele found herself atop the BBC's new music talent list, which
was compiled from the votes of 150 music critics. That same January, XL
issued a new single, "Chasing Pavements," along with her debut album,
19. The title reflected Adele's age at the time of the album's release,
and its popularity resulted in the release of several bonus editions
throughout the year. Also in 2009, Adele won Grammy Awards for Best New
Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her sophomore album, 21,
featuring the gospel and disco-infused single "Rolling in the Deep," was
released in February of 2011. The album proved to be both a critical
and commercial success, becoming one of the longest-running number one
albums in history and spending over 18 weeks at the top spot. The glow
of 21's success was dimmed somewhat when Adele was forced to cancel her
tour after suffering a hemorrhage on her vocal chords. She underwent
surgery for the hemorrhage in November of 2011. That same month, she
released the concert CD/DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall. Both Adele
and 21 received many end-of-year honors, and in February 2012, as album
sales began to creep closer to ten million copies, she won six major
Grammy awards, one of the few artists in history to accomplish the feat
in one night. (allmusic-David Jeffries)
