Adele? Dang, she can sing!

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock lately — very likely — but I have just discovered a 22-year-old singer named Adele, who is, according to NPR’s All Songs Considered, a best-selling U.K. pop artist.

I just listened to the first song on this fantastic NPR Tiny Desk concert.

Wow.

There is no Auto-Tune there, like, dude, none.

She just clearly loves it: Singing.

She’s just sitting in a room singing. As NPR puts it:

There’s no one way to define a great voice: Genius might lie in the phrasing, the range, the power, the control, the words themselves, or some sort of indescribable something else. But one way to diagnose genius for sure is to have a singer walk into a crowded room with little to no accompaniment, open his or her mouth, and command breathless attention in a matter of seconds.

And, come on, those fake-looking eyelashes … I love them!
