Adele, the singer/songwriter from across the pond, debuted her first album, 19, in 2008. Since then, she has released a second album, 21, and won the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in the 2009 Grammy Awards along with topping charts virtually everywhere. “Someone Like You” is the second single off of her latest album and is a musical, bittersweet treat.
A simple melody of a piano backs up Miss Adele, wringing our hearts of every ounce of pity. Adele bares her songwriting soul in a way that guarantees at least a sniffle from audience members if not a full-out cry fest. (Warning: GRAB THE TISSUES NOW!) Thoughtful and solemn, she stares calmly into the camera as she drifts around an abandoned Paris. Simple, black and white camerawork with a home video quality give this music video a vintage-tinged feel. The majority of it is captured in a single shot as Adele serenely strolls down a path while she recounts a story of love, loss, and heartbreak. Not exactly cheery stuff, but hey, life’s tough. The video closes with Adele looking in the mirror and watching the reflection of the man who got away.
Fans seem like they can’t get enough pain and heartache, anyways, as the video has climbed steadily up the music charts and the video has claimed the TOP favorited spot on Youtube this week.
