Adele, “Chasing Pavements” acoustic raw (video)

I can’t help liking Adele, the darkhorse Grammy-winning British soul songstress with a loverly husky and powerful voice. A friend sent this video to me a little while back and it made it to the bottom of my Inbox before I’d even registered I received it. Here, she performs a Virgin Radio in-studio of her now well-known single, “Chasing Pavements,” and she’s all acoustic raw and make-up free and still beautiful and natural and wonderful and she sounds damn great. Am I gushing too much?
