Biografia de Adele (Castellano)

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (Londres, 5 de mayo 1988) es una cantante inglesa de Neo Soul.
Adele se graduó en mayo del 2006 del Brit School of Performing Arts of Croydon (Patrocinados por los Brit Awards). Un mes más tarde publicó 2 canciones en una página web de artes escénicas, y comenzó a actuar en gira por Reino Unido con otros músicos como Jack Peñate (su mejor amigo), Jamie T, Devendra Banhart o Keren Ann entre otros.
Su éxito posterior en MySpace la llevó a adquirir popularidad y atención mediática, por lo que pudo firmar con el sello independiente XL Recordings. Con dicha compañía lanzaría su segundo single, Chasing pavements, que recibió una buena crítica y cobertura. Además, los medios de la BBC difundieron sus singles por sus diferentes radios e invitaron a Adele a interpretar sus canciones en varios programas a finales de 2007.
Sus cuerdas vocales son capaces de expresar todo el poderío del soul, se atreven con algunas incursiones jazzísticas y demuestran una emoción y aplomo que le han valido reiteradas comparaciones con ese fenómeno que encarna Amy Winehouse. Los aventurados hacen comparaciones nada menos que con Etta James y Ela Fitzgerald.
En 2009 Adele comenzarìa el que fuese primer gran año con uno de los premios de la crítica británica a sus espaldas, y el vaticinio de la BBC de que su estrella será la que más brillará en 2008. Este último baremo se ha revelado certero en sus anteriores ediciones, apuntando a los entonces incipientes Kaiser Chiefs, Keane o los Klaxons. Todo ese revuelo se vio avalado con la salida a la venta de su primer single, Chasing Pavements, que la consagró como firme promesa y que ha estado en el segundo puesto de los superventas.
Su primer album, 19, avala ese veredicto, aunque también ha puesto las cosas en su sitito: el grueso de la crítica apunta a que los temas de la cantautora no parecen destinados a perdurar. Son baladas melancólicas sobre el amor y su corazón roto a manos de un incomprensivo ex novio, pero los interpreta con tal fuerza y autoridad que nadie cuestiona su enorme madera de artista y talento innato.
«19» fue el primer fruto de su colaboración con el sello XL. La discográfica conocía a la cantante desde que todavía estudiaba en la Brit School of Performing Arts de Croydon, que tiene entre sus famosos ex condiscípulos a la propia Amy Winehouse y a Kate Nash.
Al cabo de un año, Adele era invitada a compartir escenario con Björk y Sir Paul McCartney en un popular show del viernes por la noche; el programa de la TV inglesa «Jools Holland».
Propietaria de unos intensos ojos verdes y decididamente despreocupada ante los comentarios sobre su fisico, Adele asegura estar preparada para no caer en la trampa de la fama. Tampoco atiende a la decepción de muchos de sus admiradores cuando insisten en que su alma no pertenece al soul -para el que parece haber nacido-, sino al pop. A saber, la voz que podría alardear de los gustos más sofisticados asegura que sus dos grupos favoritos son las Spice Girls y las Destiny’s Child.
«21» es el segundo album de estudio de la cantautora inglesa. Fue lanzado el 19 y 21 de Febrero de 2011. El album ha recibido criticas positivas y la mayoria de sus canciones han sido inspiradas por la ultima y mas reciente relacion fallida de la cantante.

Biography´s Adele (English)

Adele is not one for being pigeonholed. She has broken through the music industry at a relatively young age, particularly owing it to her distinctive voice. She was born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins on May 5, 1988 in Enfield, North London. She came from a non-musical family but a very supportive one. Adele said that her mother used to set up a stage show for her in their own home with Adele being the performer and her mother's friends being the audience.
Like many teenagers swept with the Spice Girls fever in the '90s, Adele too liked to impersonate the all-girls band. She was also a fan of British singer Gabrielle whose songs she liked to cover. One day, her father's friend who happened to be a dance producer praised the color of her voice and thus Adele's spirit was lifted.
She tried to cover Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and once she got a hold of a real mic, she knew it was her destiny to be a singer. "As soon as I got a microphone in my hand, when I was about 14, I realized I wanted to do this," she later on recalled. "Most people don't like the way their voice sounds when it's recorded. I was just so excited by the whole thing that I wasn't bothered what it sounded like."
Her secondary school life was not particularly cultivating for her singing career, only when she entered The BRIT School did she gain much more. Enrolling at the school that had graduated famous names like Amy Winehouse, Kate Nash and Leona Lewis, the young singer was lucky to meet an inspirational singer named Shingai Shoniwa which later on joined the band The Noisettes as the vocalist. Living next door to Shoniwa, Adele often made use of the opportunity to jam around with her and she confessed later on that Shoniwa made her "want to be a writer and not just sing Destiny's Child songs."
To boost her singing career, like many other hopeful musicians, Adele opened a MySpace account where she can display her songs and demos and ask for feedbacks. By 2004, she was already a popular singer on-line but only two years after that did she gain wider opportunity to showcase her talent. After graduating from BRIT school in May 2006, she toured around with affiliates Jamie T, Jack Penate, and Davendra Banhart. Through Jamie.
It's indie label, Pacemaker Records, she released an album called "Hometown Glory" that was only available on 7 inch vinyl format.
By that time, Adele was already a commodity for music executives that many have tried to sign a contract with her. It was XL Recordings that finally met the line. Adele released her debut album, "19", in U.K. through the label in January 2008. The LP went straight to number one on U.K. Albums chart, thanks to the popularity of its lead single "Chasing Pavements" that also received a unique music video. The album was then prepared for U.S. market with the release date set on June 10, 2008.
In 2009, she was nominated for four Grammys and won two of them; Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Two years later, she dropped a second album "21" on January 19 in the U.K. "I'm very excited, nervous, eager, anxious but chuffed to announce my new album! It's taken a while and it knocked me for six when writing it," she said of the new release. "It's different from '19', it's about the same things but in a different light. I deal with things differently now."
I am more patient, more honest, more forgiving and more aware of my own flaws, habits and principles. Something that comes with age I think. So fittingly this record is called '21'. The whole reason I called my first album '19' was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album you see the progression and changes in a person throughout the years."
