Adele’s debut single was already a clear signal that an important new face was emerging amid pop’s return to the mainstream scene. True to the soul roots that have accompanied it since its beginnings – including Amy Winehouse and Duffy, who have already brought twentieth-century classicism back to the present – the music may not have been a commercial boom, but it was nonetheless. a good start for the singer and songwriter, mainly for the nostalgic and nostalgic content of the verses.

7. “I WILL HOLD”
Album: 21
“I’ll Be Waiting” represented a profound change in Adele’s musical style, not only for the dancing melody, but for the classical references it brought to the audience. Blending elements of folk, soul and Motown, the track presents a very upbeat tone that opens with the allegorical saxophone and turns towards a growing, engaging and quite fun gospel.
6. “SOMEONE LIKE YOU”
