Music is my life and I honestly do not know what I would do without it. The definition of music to me is relaxation and meaning of life. One artist in particular happens to be one of my favorites, and that is Adele. Most of her songs intend to be emotions and feelings of sadness. Her album 21 features heartfelt and loving songs. When you listen and pay close attention to the lyrics in her songs they intend to be very touching. Adele’s songs usually are about relationships and what people are going through. This artist appears to be very unique to me. Her voice is strong and just isn’t like no other artist out there. “Rolling in the Deep,” appeared to be the number one song of 2011. Adele is a successful POP artist across the Atlantic. She was crowned Billboard magazine’s number one artist of 2011. Two artists that are similar to Adele would be Duffy and Jessie J. These ladies give meanings to their songs when they sing them. When they write their music it leaves listeners, like me wanting to hear more. A song in particular that is very memorable to me would have to be “Someone like you” which is featured on the album 21. I remember the first time I heard “Someone like you,” I hated that song so much. Every time it were to play on the radio I would just shut it off because Adele’s music wasn’t the type I normally listened to. Suddenly one day I was feeling a little down and I was laying in my bed listening to the radio. All of a sudden her song started to play and as I listened closely to the lyrics I fell in love with her song. This songs talks about a relationship and it’s about what she is going through. It’s very sad and has a slow beat to it. “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead,” is a part in the song that she states. This particular line is very memorable to me because it has a touching meaning to it. I honestly think that every relationship out there could really relate to this because no relationship is ever perfect. Adele’s music is definitely worth our time money. Every other singer that is a big hit today mainly talks about drugs, girls, money, and sex. Therefore, when we look at Adele she doesn’t intend to incorporate these in her songs, but instead she talks about relationships which have a big meaning in this world because just about everyone has a significant other. I strongly agree with other critics’ opinions about Adele’s music. She is an amazing singer; therefore she won six awards at the 54th Grammy Awards. Critics say that it’s her voice that has made her so successful. I also agree with this statement because audiences wouldn’t listen to her if she wasn’t good.
