Customer Reviews

Chasing Pavements.
This is one of those songs I'd heard a few times but didn't know who it was by and when I made the effort to find out, I was glad I did.

The sound is gloriously modern soul/jazz. What a voice, with real emotion driving it and emotive lyrics. I also loved the string instrument arrangement; it doesn't always work so well in such a commercial song, or should I say, songs with these instruments in them don't always get such commercial success, but anything less for this song would be a travesty. This song is absolutely beautiful and one you'll recognise the minute you hear it. An instant classic.

Pretty awful!
I really don't understand what the fuss is about with 'Chasing Pavements'. When there are female singers like Amy Winehouse, KT Tunstall, Shirley Manson and Dolores O'Riordan around we don't need a mediocre tune. We need something from them, and if not them, someone with a good strong and a voice with some personality.
This is the thing. It's a pretty average song; perphaps if better singers made it their own, then it would be a different story. But her voice is (it's got to be said) boring. She isn't a musician, but someone who got lucky. I think that we should celebrate the talented musicians, rather than the choosen.
I do realise that everyone loves this song, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Thank you for reading

Mega successful single from Adele's debut number 1 album
Barcode: 0634904032128

Early 2008 - you couldn't go anywhere without hearing this song. It was all over the radio and provided a fantastic showcase for Adele and her amazing voice. With insightful lyrics coupled with a brilliant video, Chasing Pavements isn't just a great pop song, but one that easily stands out from the crowd as something special.

The production quality is great, the string section in particular on the chorus is stunning as Adele sings 'would it be a waste even if i knew my place?'. The song is just so uplifting and classy, it'd perfect to brighten up a morning and along with previous single Hometown Glory serves as a perfect introduction to her album.

You also get the stripped back B-side - a cover of Sam Cooke's 'That's It, I Quit, I'm Moving On' - on here.
