Adele – 19

Adele is a young artist (born May 5, 1988) from England. 19 isher debut album, released on January 28, 2008, when she was (you guessed it) 19 years old. It debuted at number one on the UK charts on its first week. Included is a cover of the Bob Dylan song “Make You Feel My Love” from his 1997 album, Time Out Of Mind. She may be young, but she’s experienced something not many other people have: track one, “Daydreamer”, is about her bisexual ex-boyfriend running away with another man.

VA – Jazz Collectivo: Colours of Acoustic Jazz

Like the title suggests, this is a compilation of jazz. Pretty self-explanatory.

What I really enjoy is the variety of styles of jazz you hear in the mix. The first track is by A Bossa Electrica, which features a Brazilian vocalist and a little jazz flute solo. The second track has a bit of a funk influence, and is very percussion-driven and features a muted trumpet solo (with some delay!) and a pretty slick guitar solo. The third song has a strong lead saxophone part, with piano accompanimentis very laid back, while the main focus of track 4 is Miriam Aida, a female vocalist. Track five is by Gecko Turner, Spanish musician and singer-songwiter who incoporates elements of bossa nova, soul, funk, reggae, and jazz. Track six is a lively piece with a fun bass line, and big instrumentation. Seven features Sofia Petterson, with her silky smooth, soulful vocals.

Track eight is my current favorite. A five-piece from Sweden, Jet Set SWE bring a vibe of the late 60´s movies, with secret agents, sexy cars, and delicious orchestra arrangements!

Track nine is a lively piece, with a swing feel, while the last track, number ten, is very laid back. A nice wrap-up.
