You Should Be Listening To: ADELE - HOMETOWN GLORY

Fantastic song by London singer/songwriter Adele. It's called 'Hometown Glory' and it contains a piano loop that is dark, haunting and atmospheric. The single is drawing a lot of attention and critical acclaim. In fact, 'Hometown Glory' was Jo Whiley's Pet Sound just last week.

Adele is currently signed to XL Recording, which is also home to Devendra Banhart, M.I.A., Basement Jaxx and The White Stripes. So, she is in very good company. The single will be released on October 22 as a limited edition 7" vinyl. There is no information on the release of a full length album but if this song is any indication, we should be hearing more from this promising singer/songwriter in the very near future.
