Last Night: Adele brings “Rolling in the Deep” to Letterman

By Derek Staples on February 22nd, 2011 in Last Night, News

Adele is definitely not your typical leading lady. With one of the most robust voices in the industry, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter doesn’t rely on a press worthy dress or drawn out choreography to penetrate a live audience. Last night, Adele captivated The Ed Sullivan Theater, including Dave himself, with an effortless performance of “Rolling in the Deep”, off her sophomore LP, 21. Introduced with a simple, strumming acoustic guitar, the track quickly swells into a driving blues tune led by the fierceness of Adele’s vocals. And it’s all capped off with some gospel-influenced hand clapping.

You can watch the performance above, via The Audio Perv. 21 is out today.
