O.T. : New artist, Adele- anyone like her retro sound, too?

Postby tammy » Sat Jun 07, 2008 1:25 am

I really like this song of her's: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qz7vGW2_5c0
The video is disturbing, sad, but it works for the feel of the song. She's very young and whoa! she looks like a real person. :)

She's good. I'm a big Amy Winehouse fan, so I dig the retro 60's thing.

Duffy's another one in that genre who's gonna make some noise.

Wanna check out someone really fun? Give Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings a listen.

Someone else who' I'm into now is Tristan Prettyman. A bit folky, yet very soulful...and hot :P

Heres another for you to check out - not sure if you'll like her, but chances are you will.

I think 'so sublime' is fab!!!!!

And theres some great blues harmonica on the album.

Rachael Yamagata is very similar to Tristan Prettyman, but her voice is even more seductive. She melts me.

I think its tracks 5 and 11 with the fab blues harp on!

There are so many influences on this album - it's like a banquet! Loads to savour!
Very gospel sounding in parts.
I knew Art would like it!

Hope you do Duncan.
I have the Duffy one, too but I kinda like this one more.
Duffy's voice on Warwick Avenue reminds me a bit of Gabrielle.
All good stuff though.

Oh I wish I could write my own stuff. :evil:

Love her voice on Chasing Pavements - but when I checked out some other stuff,,, that little catch thing she does with her voice in CP is even more apparent on the other stuff that I heard. Hate that, personally.

Other than that, I REALLY love her voice, and am hoping for more with less, lol

Quite like the T Prettyman one, too.
