Live at the Royal Albert Hall features British vocal sensation
Adele performing at the storied venue during her promotional tour for her 2011 studio effort,
21. Backed by her rock ensemble as well as a string section,
Adele runs through most of
21 while adding in earlier hits off her 2008 debut,
19, including "Chasing Pavements," "Hometown Glory," and "My Same." Primarily, however,
Adele focuses here on material off
21, including such cuts as "Rumour Has It," "Turning Tables," "Someone Like You," the über-ballad "Take It All," and the funky hit "Rolling in the Deep." In perfect vocal form here prior to her 2011 throat surgery,
Adele is the epitome of a burnished soul diva with a singer/songwriter's heart. Beautifully recorded and performed,
Live at the Royal Albert Hall conveys all the drama of
Adele's music and is the perfect companion piece to
21.
