Adele - New 90-minute live DVD recorded at the famed Royal Albert Hall in London caps off a phenomenal year for this critically adored singer (and songwriter)...her 21 is the year's biggest and most successful album with over 12 million albums sold worldwide, boasting two huge hits -- "Rolling In the Deep" and "Someone Like You" -- and more to come... // Release: Adele: Live at the Royal Albert Hall (November 29, Columbia) // What you get: the big glitz-and-glam show with waves of swaying, sing-a-long fans, full orchestra and lush, super-rich production values...we kinda miss the loose immediacy and raw force of her smaller live sets (see: her unplugged set, Brit TV appearances, etc.) -- and her performance at times seems as reserved and measured as the setting -- but this "dress up affair" still boast some incredible moments...(watch video previews below)
More: the top-notch live footage also features backstage scenes shot documentary style...the package includes a full-length CD of the concert includes Adele-styled takes on Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” (a moving version dedicated to Amy Winehouse), The Cure’s “Love Song”, Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and The Steeldrivers “If It Hadn’t Been For Love"...Of note: Adele's debut album 19 has resurged as well -- it's the #2 best-selling album in the U.K. this year (behind 21, of course)...
