Great thread.
Adele is supremely talented. She has the pipes to rival anyone out there. She's got control and power. She can convey emotion. Her lyrics are readily accessible and discernible.
But, and it's a big but, subjectively I've always thought she needs a better producer and some creative direction. Why does she go 0 to 60 or even 90 on every song--or seemingly every song? Why is the music so tense that I want to pull my hair out? Could she just allow some air into the studio for all of our sakes? Air, space between notes, rests....she needs all of this in my opinion. Oh, and can't she do some other voices than belt-it-out.
Take a listen to Imelda May's album, Life Love Flesh Blood. Adele can you please, for the love of your talent make something like this? PLEASE!
Adele is amazing but needs her own George Martin to help her get to her peak.
