    Adele - 'Hometown Glory'
    starstarstarstarno star

    Adele’s debut rides along on the Amy Winehouse white horse of vocal intonations, joining a flock of female singer songwriters gliding around the upper echelons of the chart. A Londoner lost within her own thoughts in the spatial confines of the capital unfortunately positions her in the same field of thought as another singer songwriter with a dependency problem (sans jazz dispositions). Thankfully the piano crescendo of ‘Hometown Glory’ rises and crashes like waves against the shores of music ambivalence as she caresses the ivory keys, her impassioned iteration submitting tangled lyrics of questionable depth to the masses for guttural acceptable or rejection. Sure, it's no Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ but this composition is lovely, if not telling of desired aspirations to Michael Nyman’s pianism.

    Released 22/10/07 on Pacemaker.
