Its been a while since I've had a song pick of the week, but I just can't get enough of British phenom singer Adele, so I'm gonna plug my girl today! I've had her first album, 19 (title based on her age on the 2008 release date), for a few weeks now and I love her more and more each day. Adele recently won the Critic's Choice award at the 2008 Brit Awards. Most of the songs on her album deal with sour relationships and unrequited love, so yeah, I'm a huge fan! She's got a boisterous and powerful throwback sound for such a young girl, and is often compared to fellow Brit, Amy Winehouse (Stay clean Adele! Crack kills!).

Adele will be playing two sold-out shows at Joe's Pub in NYC on March 17 & 18.

For these reasons, my song pick-o-the-week is:

Right As Rain

By: Adele

Who wants to be right as rain

It’s better when something is wrong

You get excitement in your bones

And everything you do’s a game

When night comes and your all on your own

You can say I chose to be alone

Who wants to be right as rain

It’s harder when your on top

Cause when hard work don’t pay off

And I’m tired there aint no room in my bed

As far as I’m concerned

So wipe that dirty smile off

We won’t be making up

I’ve cried my heart out

And now I’ve had enough of love

Who wants to be riding high

when you’ll just crumble back on down

You give up everything you are

And even then you don’t get far

They make believe that everything

Is exactly what it seems

But at least when your at your worst

You know how to feel things

See when hard work don’t pay off

And I’m tired there aint no room in my bed

As far as I’m concerned

So wipe that dirty smile off

We won’t be making up

I’ve cried my heart out

And now I’ve had enough of love

Go ahead and still my heart

To make me cry again

Cause it will never hurt

As much as it did then

We were both right

And no one had blame

But now I give up

On this endless game

Cause who wants to be right as rain

It’s better when something is wrong

I get excitement in my bones

Even though everything’s a strain

When night comes and I’m all on my own

You should know I chose to be alone

So who want to be right as rain

It’s harder when your on top

Cause when hard work don’t pay off

And I’m tired there aint no room in my bed

As far as I’m concernedSo wipe that dirty smile off

We won’t be making up

I’ve cried my heart out

And now I’ve had enough of love
