Never ADELE moment

... actually, it's a perfect time for an ADELE moment!

UK soul singer ADELE won best new artist last week at the Grammy's (also Best Female Pop Performance.)  I was rooting for her or Duffy!  Really love both of these single name soulful ladies.

Check out the wonderful video for her single CHASING PAVEMENTS here.

Also here's a cover of the Bob Dylan tune TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE (which everyone has covered from Garth Brooks to Billy Joel.)  I really like Adele's rendition.

Check out her cd called "19."

Puttin' on the Brits

Once again British gals are rockin' the music scene.  No I'm not referring to the Spice Girls.  (Though I must admit I once made a Spice Rack out of Spice Girl figurines that was oh so VERY cool!) 

No,  I'm talking about 3 new gals just hitting (or about to hit) US airwaves.

First up is Leona Lewis.  She won "The X Factor" (The british version of American Idol produced by Simon Cowell.)  She has a great pop sound.  I would recommend her to fans of Mariah Carey... or fans of early Mariah Carey (when she had more range to her voice and more material to her dresses.)

Here's a clip of Leona's first single "Bleeding Love" from her debut album "Spirit."

The next two are being hailed as the "New Amy's"  (as in Amy Winehouse.)  I personally love them both.  And they seem a little more stable than Ms. Rehab.

Adele (now 20) recorded her debut album "19" when she was.... wait for it..... 19!  Here is a cool video of "Chasing Pavements"

Finally we have "Duffy."  If you are over Winehouse's stuff-y try Duffy!  Sorry... enough-y!

Seriously, there are some major similarites.  Duffy's first single "Mercy" definitely has a "Rehab" vibe.  In the musical intro she even sings "Yeah, yeah, yeah" instead of "No, no, no."  I REALLY dig the song though.  I actually really like the whole album (I've been listening to the U.K. import version.) Her whole album "Rockferry" comes out May 13 in the US for a pretty low price.  "Mercy" is available now as a single on i-tunes.

Here's the video for Mercy.

There you are.... 3 musical British Babes.

I would also like to give a musical shout out to 2 other great UK gals...  Lily Allen and Kate Nash.  Their albums are full of fun melodies and "cheeky" lyrics.
