Adele Performs "Chasing Pavements" Live On Letterman

Adele continues to bring her beautiful voice Stateside with an amazing performance of "Chasing Pavements" on Letterman the other night.

It even brought on a compliment from the host himself!

Adele Live at Highline Ballroom 6.11.08

Adele has been on my radar for quite some time now and I FINALLY got the chance to catch her live at the Highline Ballroom last night. Playing to a packed house, Adele played a short but sweet set of tracks from her debut smash "19" and a couple of covers.

Her voice is absolutely stunning and she's quote fun on stage. Plus, her cover of the Coral's hit "Dreaming Of You" was a nice surprise and absolutely lovely.

Here is the set list:

Right As Rain
Melt My Heart To Stone
Daydreamer
Dreaming Of You
Cold Shoulder
First Love
Make You Feel My Love
Tired
Hometown Glory

Encore:
Crazy For You
Fool That I Am
Chasing Pavements

Congrats to Adele for hitting the #1 spot on the UK album charts with her album "19". This is only the beginning...

Adele Brings Her Tunes Stateside with SXSW, NY and LA Shows

Adele has been poised to be the next Amy Winehouse for quite some time...but I think she is in a league all her own as a singer.

Finally, she is coming Stateside for a few select gigs across the country.

Here are the dates:

Mar 13 - SXSW Austin
Mar 18 - Joe's Pub New York
Mar 20 - Hotel Cafe L.A

Rumor also has it that Adele has signed to a nice little major label tats NOT XL in the U.S.

Likely Looks: Adele - Chasing Pavements

Adele hasn't even released her debut album yet but already is making a massive splash in the UK with her singles "Hometown Glory" and "Chasing Pavements".

Here debut album will be released in the UK and Australia via XL

Likely Listens: Adele

People have been telling me for ages to check out Adele and Im quite glad I did...she's brilliant!

Joining in on the London female singers club (Amy Winehouse, Kate Nash, Lily Allen...blah blah blah), Adele made a name for herself on MySpace when a friend of her's put up her tracks. Soon after the page was set up, industry heads were all over getting her signed and XL Recordings became her new home.

Adele has a voice to kill (a bit of soul, a bit of pop) and has the ability to write a song you can fall in love with on first listen. Her single "Hometown Glory" will be released October 22nd in the UK.

Here is Adele live on the BBC2 show "Sound" singing "Hometown Glory":
