Contralto in five octaves is the highlight of the singer Adele. She allowed the British singer to gain worldwide popularity. She is very reserved on stage. Her concerts are not accompanied by a bright show.
But it was this original approach that allowed the girl to become a record holder in terms of increasing popularity.
Adele stands out from the rest of the British and American stars. She is overweight, but there is no excessive amount of Botox and skimpy outfits.
Often the performer is compared with Piaf and Garland. And it is clear that she was able to achieve such popularity only thanks to the contralto and sincerity, which captivates listeners from the first seconds. Adele herself says:
“When I perform for foreign listeners, I know for sure that they understand the mood of the song. I know what I'm singing about, and I know for sure that an emotional connection arises between me and the audience. I love my fans very much for their devotion.”
Youth and childhood Adele
The future star was born on May 5, 1988 in north London. The girl did not live in the best area of the city. Often her family had nothing to eat and no money to buy groceries for.
When Adele was 3 years old, her father left the family. The singer herself recalls that only one thing remained from her father - a stack of records of the famous jazz performer Ella Fitzgerald. The girl enthusiastically listened to records, and even imagined that she was performing on the same stage with Ella.
At home, Adele hosted mini-concerts for her mother and grandfather. But as the future star notes, she did not see herself as a singer at all. As a teenager, she was complex because of her appearance (a plump, short girl with an unremarkable appearance), which modern show business definitely did not want to see.
The girl's views changed when she saw the performances of her favorite jazz performers on TV. She realized that it was not necessary to meet the set standards. Mom gave the girl a guitar. It took a month for Adele to learn how to play it.
In the summer Adele went to Croydon. The teachers immediately recognized the talent in the young girl and predicted glory for her. This was a great motivation to move towards your dream. In 2006, she received a diploma from one of the most prestigious London Schools of Art.
The first steps towards popularity
After leaving school, Adele recorded several singles, which were published in PlatformsMagazine.com. In the same year, her friend published Adele's first solo record on the popular MySpace resource.
The powerful and at the same time velvety voice of the then unknown performer was very warmly received by the users of the resource.
One of the well-known producers listened to several tracks of an unknown singer a little later and offered Adele cooperation. And so began her stellar career. At the age of 19, Adele received her debut award and went on tour.
Adele has often been compared to world-class stars. In autumn 2007, the young star released a single called Hometown Glory. For more than a week, he remained the leader in the number of plays.
Some time later, one of the major record companies offered to sign Adele a contract. She agreed, releasing the single Chasing Pavements. For more than a month, he occupied the 1st position of the British charts. It was popularity.
The number of fans of the British singer increased every day. This is the case when you do not need to have a model appearance or a perfect figure in order for fans to wait for your songs to be released. Adele was not shy about singing live. Her voice didn't need processing.

In support of the second album, the singer went on a world tour. At the same time, Adele had problems with her voice:
“I have been singing every day since I was 15. I sang even when I had a cold. At the moment, my voice has completely disappeared, and I need to take some time off to renew my strength and voice, ”Adele told fans who were waiting for the singer’s performance.
In 2012, she released the track Set Fire to the Rain. This single entered the top XNUMX hot hits on the national chart in the United States of America. One of the "fans" of the singer made his own video for this track.
