  • Description

    20 Soul-drenched tracks which inspired Adele's bittersweet sound.... Everyone's talking about Adele. That voice. Those songs that talk of heartache and love lost,of trials and tribulations, of worry and doubt. Adele has something for everyone. Her eclectic list of influences includes such greats as Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Etta James, whilst the Motown sound is much in evidence, too, with powerful soul-drenched ballads by Mary Wells, The Supremes and Mabel John. This compilation presents classic tracks by the great artists who have inspired Adele's timeless and universally-appealing woman-done-wrong songwriting style. Compiled and with authoritative liner notes by Mojo's Dave Henderson.
