Whilst most British 19 year olds choose to loll about their student digs in yesterday’s pants, the industrious Adele was out touring the world in support of her supremely assured debut album, astounding everyone with a richly soulful voice that massively belied her youth. The influence of those American tours can now be heard on second album 21, infused as it is with foot-stomping gospel and bluesy Americana. So whilst most graduates can look forward to debt and a potentially debilitating addiction to ‘Loose Women’, Tottenham’s finest will be enjoying the finer things in life and thanking her lucky stars that she got all the education she needed from the BRIT School.
