• Last Night: Adele at The Warfield

  Adele The Warfield January 29, 2009 Better than: Watching Amy Winehouse frolic a step away from death. British singer/songwriter Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (known simply as Adele) totes a voice that's dripping with old soul, yet she's only 20. When she took to the stage last night at the Warfield, that voice sounded as crisp, clear and pitch-perfect as it does on her debut album 19 (so named for her age at the time of its recording), a tone that outclasses performers more than twice her age.
