Hi! This is Leo. This is the third post of Pop Song Series. In the first post we talked about one song. In the second post we talked about a type of songs. And in this post we'll talk about a singer, a heavy-weight singer, not just because of her great influence but also her weight. Her name is Adele.

  Adele Adkins is a great singer from England. The style of her songs is different from others. She describes is as 'Heartbroken Soul'.

  Adele is a very cool person. She is heavy but she never mind it. She doesn't want to lose weight and she even eats more. She said "I don’t rely on my figure to sell records''. I once read a news about her. Adele went outside without makeup and was dressed in casual. Do you know what does she do? She went to the super market and bought lots of chicken drumsticks.

She just don't care about her appearances.

  Now, let's talk about her songs. I have said her music is special. But why? Because she even mixed pop, blue and jazz together and create her own style. And her songs are a little retro (复古的).That is the'Heartbroken Soul'.

Let’s listen to her song in the first record 'Chasing Pavements'.  You can listen to the difference between 'Chasing Pavements' and other pop songs, such as 'Faded'.

  And there are three hotest songs of Adele. They are all on her second album. They are: 'Rolling in the Deep'

'Someone Like You'

'Set the Fire to the Rain'

In this year Adele got five Grammy Awards. Grammy Awards is the top music award in the world and Adele got five this year. You can see how popular she is.
