Adele 19 (Vinyl LP) * * *

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018, 19 is the Grammy Award-winning and Mercury Prize-nominated debut album from British soul sensation Adele. Citing influences as diverse as Etta James, Jill Scott, Bjork, Dusty Springfield, Billy Bragg, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, The Cure and Peggy Lee, Adele uniquely melds R&B and soul here served up with a healthy dash of feisty London attitude. Spinning beautiful dark stories of loves won and lost and sometimes just daydreamed about, the triple platinum effort is anchored by the name making singles "Chasing Pavements" and "Hometown Glory" as well as a cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love."
