dele grew up in Tottenham, a north London neighborhood, raised by a single mom who got pregnant with her at 18. (To this day, Adele considers her mother to be her closest friend, and one of her biggest early influences.)“I just want to say, Mum, your girl did good!” the “Someone Like You” singer told the 2012 Grammys audience during her tearful acceptance speech.
Her debut album,“19”, was released in 2008 to massive critical acclaim. Later that year, it earned her the Critics Choice prize at the BRIT Awards, and the BBC Sound of 2008 award. “19” went double platinum in the US, four times platinum in the UK, and earned her the Best New Artists and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance prizes at the 2009 Grammys.
In November 2010, the songstress performed a new single—“Someone Like You”—from her soon-to-be-record-
breaking second album, “21”.
There is a major inspiration for the pop star—Beyonce. Adele stepped out to support the singer at London concert in June 2011. Beyonce said to her, “Youre amazing! When I listen to you I feel like Im listening to God.”
The singer took to her blog in October 2011 to apologize to fans for having to cancel a 10-city US tour.“I have a hemorrhage on my vocal cord again and it is paramount that I rest...I apologize from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do.” she wrote. The following month, she underwent surgery to remove a benign polyp.
Clad in Giorgio Armani, the“Rolling in the Deep” chanteuse stunned on the Grammys red carpet in February 2012, where she would go on to win six awards, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year.
黛爾在倫敦北部托特納姆區(qū)的一個單親家庭長大,母親18歲時就懷上了她。(至今,阿黛爾還是把母親看作是自己最親密的朋友和給過自己巨大影響的人之一。)“媽媽,我想對你說:你的女兒很出色!”阿黛爾在2012年格萊美頒獎典禮上發(fā)表感言時,這位演唱《像你的人》的歌手含淚對觀眾席如是說。
她的首張專輯《19》在2008年發(fā)行后就引起了極大的關注和稱贊。之后更是憑借這張專輯在全英音樂獎頒獎典禮中收獲了“評論家選擇獎”和“BBC年度之聲”的殊榮。專輯《19》在美國成為了“雙白金唱片”,在英國本土則四次獲封白金銷量認證。這也為她帶來了2009年格萊美“最佳新人獎”和“最佳流行女歌手獎”兩項榮譽。
2010年11月,阿黛爾演唱了她的最新單曲《像你的人》。這首歌選自她當時即將發(fā)行并將再破紀錄的第二張專輯《21》。
碧昂斯是阿黛爾音樂靈感的一個主要來源。2011年6月,阿黛爾參加了碧昂斯的倫敦演唱會。碧昂斯對阿黛爾說:“你太了不起了!聽你歌唱的時候,我覺得就像聽到了上帝之聲。”
2011年10月,阿黛爾在博客上向粉絲們道歉說,因為身體的原因,她不得不取消在美國10座城市的巡回演出?!拔业穆晭г僖淮纬鲅?,所以不得不休息……我真誠地道歉?!彼龑懙?。在之后的一個月,她接受手術除去了聲帶上的息肉。
2012年2月的格萊美之夜,阿黛爾一身阿瑪尼長裙,以一曲《內(nèi)心的掙扎》驚艷了紅毯。她收獲了年度“最佳專輯”“最佳制作”“最佳歌曲”“最佳流行歌手”“最佳流行專輯”和“最佳短篇音樂錄影”六項大獎,成為當晚的最大贏家。endprint
