Conclusion: She has the sweetest voice that could pretty much make any song a lullaby. As soon as her album drops I'm pretty sure she will take the scene by storm... she's just just that good. Anyone that likes Adele will definitely jump this band wagon... I know I have! Although, I have noticed that everything I like from her seem to be covers... so we'll see how her writing will hit me. Fingers crossed!

  1. i love birdy, particularly Skinny Love. but i just wish she didn't do so many covers, all 3 of her singles have been covers so hopefully her album will have more original stuff.
