Unless you've been outcast on a desert island for the past few months, you should be well aware of these two ladies who have been making a serious impact on the music scene since the beginning of the year.
Adele already broke music ground with her successful, Grammy-winning debut album, '19' in 2008 and she's achieved even more success with her follow-up releases - breaking records after spending four weeks at the top of the UK album and singles chart with three singles in the top ten.
Jessie J has also been making noise on both sides of the pond with her debut album 'Who You Are' pushed forward after strong demand - both young women are incredibly talented, blessed with powerhouse voices and so Fl@unt puts the two music forces together to see what exactly makes these women stand out artists:
ADELE
- An example of pure singing talent, an artist who doesn't rely on image to breakthrough - a refreshing rarity.
- She's simple in the most stunning way - her makeup minimal enhancing her natural beauty, while the notes she carries through her voice are prolonged to create effective tone (although she can still riff like no other).
- Her low tone of voice is unmistakably hers, capturing audiences with her sincere portrayal of vulnerability.
- Through such portrayals her music emotes aspects of blues mixed with modern folk.
- Her retro styling and sound is like no other contemporary music out today.
JESSIE J
- All about the image, rocking neon colours and clashing prints in every spectrum, Jessie J has built a huge fanbase based on her image alone, with fans copying her garms and that rigid, slick fringed bob of hers, fl@unting her feminine edge.
- She hasn't got this far based on just her appearance, Jessie J is more than a credible artist, winning over audiences with her creatively, authentic live performances showing off her wide vocal range and dynamic music tastes.
- She's a girl with attitude but also not afraid to reveal her vulnerability through music - don't let the hard-ass picture above fool you, she's a sweetheart really.
- Adopting soulful music flavours just like Adele but in a different manner, singing over more urban, hard-hitting beats.
- With an unstoppable charge to achieve international music status - Jessie J is well on her way to matching Adele's worldwide success.
