Song We Like This Week

Adele has been getting a lot of attention, because she's a critical darling who has released her sophomore album. These bloggers often disagree with music critics. Katy Perry's album was fun, ok? And Justin Bieber was robbed of a Grammy award. And forget Green Day, the best rock band around right now is Switchfoot, dangit. Also, Janelle Monae hurts our ears.

But Adele has some nice songs, and her second single off of her new album is powerful, catchy, gorgeous, and very well-sung. The song is called "Set Fire to the Rain," and darn it if we can't find a youtube video with the song on it. It's worth buying off of iTunes though. We can't stop listening to it. It's a lot more addictive than the first single she released.

    "Someone Like You" is great, too. Her performance at an English awards show called the Brit Awards was a showstopper:

    Wow, that was good. Maybe it would be easier to count the Adele songs we DON'T like. Most of them are good.

    She was just on Letterman this week and and she sung the song you like. Maybe you can find it now on YouTube! I liked it too I think it's one you need to listen to a few times and it grows on you.

    Thanks! We will look for it. One of us liked the song by the 1-minute, 30-second preview on iTunes. But different people like different things right away.
