Adele

Adele, full name Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, is a globally renowned singer and songwriter hailing from Tottenham, London. Born on May 5th, 1988, she made her way into the music industry with an impressive debut album titled 19, released in 2008. The album was named after her age at its creation and was met with massive acclaim for its mature sound and resonating lyrics about heartbreak. It featured hit singles such as Chasing Pavements and Hometown Glory. Her prowess didn't stop there; she took home two Grammy Awards in 2009 for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. In 2011, Adele released her second studio album 21, again reflecting her age during composition. This time around, the commercial success outdid even that of her first release - it topped charts worldwide and broke numerous sales records. Hit singles like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire to the Rain propelled Adele to international fame while also earning six Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. Adele released her fourth studio album titled 30 in November of 2021. The album 30 is inspired Adele's divorce, motherhood, fame, heartache, and hope. Beyond these achievements are further milestones that solidify Adele's place among musical greats: In addition to winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song with Skyfall (the theme song for a James Bond film), she returned triumphantly onto the scene after a hiatus with another chart-topping album ‘25' featuring hits like Hello. Despite personal challenges along this journey — vocal cord surgery in late-2011 being one — Adele has consistently demonstrated resilience alongside unmatched vocal talent.
