Top 10 ADELE Songs

As a die-hard from the beginning, it's amazing to see ADELE's growth in her voice, musicality, and overall as an artist that strives to be so vulnerable and honest in everything she does. Enjoy what I find to be her top 10 best songs.

10.) “Hometown Glory”
(from the album 19)
One of the first glimpses of her honest songwriting, raw emotion, and breathtaking voice.

9.) “Don’t You Remember”
(from the album 21)
A heartbreaking country-tinged ballad with a wonderful key change and excellent production from Rick Rubin.

8.) “Chasing Pavements”
(from the album 19)
Her first single, the one that put her on the map. Her accent is on full display and the world was introduced to a true gem. Not to mention how beautiful the strings sound.

7.) “All I Ask”
(from the album 25)
From her newest album, it’s another soon to be classic with help from Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons, bringing out a beautiful melody for the chorus and yet another gorgeous key change at the end.

6.) “Make You Feel My Love”
(from the album 19)
Written by Bob Dylan, made famous by Billy Joel, and now has become an ADELE staple in her ever-growing repertoire. It’s one of the most romantic and heartfelt vocals on all three of her albums. It’s practically effortless.

5.) “One And Only”
(from the album 21)
Another brilliant production from Rick Rubin, this time in an epic romantic ballad with all the blues and all the beauty of her strong voice.

4.) “When We Were Young”
(from the album 25)
A song about the past, a lover who has gone (whether that be a breakup or a passing away), there’s something so raw and breathtaking in her voice that’s more mature than anything else she’s done. Favorite part? Her growl at the end when she sings “I’m so mad I’m getting older”.

3.) “Rolling In the Deep”
(from the album 21)
The angst, the sass, and the the power in her voice make this one of the most epic songs she has to offer. Not to mention that it catapulted her status in the music industry to new heights.

2.) “Skyfall”
(from the film Skyfall)
She won an Academy Award for crying out loud. She managed to create a song that sounds like a Shirley Bassey classic but in the year 2012. It sounded like something from the past but still so current. Dramatic, beautiful, and haunting.

1.) “Someone Like You”
(from the album 21)

Without a doubt the most emotionally heartbreaking song she has. She managed to connect to every single person in the world. We’ve all been through this kind of heartbreak one time or another and she captured our feelings and emotions perfectly and beautifully.
