it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Adele!
Adele for me has always been a household name. A name that doesn’t need another. It is simply Adele. With that one name comes a booming voice that is clear and resonant. When VH1 used to do the Top 20 Video Countdown, my nine-year-old self would watch with wonder and awe at the different genres…
