Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988), better known simply as Adele, is an

from XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on MySpace in 2006. The next
year she received the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" and won the BBC
Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to much commercial and
critical success. The album is certified four times platinum in the UK, and
double platinum in the US. Her career in the US was boosted by a Saturday Night
Live appearance in late 2008. At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Adele received the
awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Adele
released her second album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received
critically and surpassed the success of her debut. 21 helped Adele earn six
Grammy Awards in 2012 including Album of the Year, equaling the record for

American Music Awards. The album has been certified 15 times platinum in the

is the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in
the UK. With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in
the Deep" and "Someone Like You", Adele became the first living
artist to achieve the feat of two top five hits in both the UK Official Singles
Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964.

Someone Like You:
"Someone like you" is a song by English singer-songwriter
Adele. It was written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her second studio album 21.
The piano and soul ballad was inspired by a broken relationship of Adele's, and
lyrically it speaks of Adele coming to terms with it. XL Recordings released
the song as the second single from the album on 24 January 2011 in the United
Kingdom and on 9 August 2011 in the United States. Accompanied only by a piano
played by co-writer Wilson, Adele sings about the end of the relationship with
her ex-boyfriend. The song received near universal critical acclaim from music
critics who chose the song as a highlight on the album and praised its simple sound.
The lyrics and Adele's vocal performance in the song were also praised.
