Adele might not be as unpredictable or transparently troubled as Amy Winehouse (thankfully), but there’s no question that she has equally stunning vocal chops and every bit of soul as her English chart-topping counterpart. If “Rolling in the Deep” — our first taste of her new Rick Rubin-co-produced LP, 21 — didn’t offer enough proof to that end, enter “Someone Like You,” a new piano-backed ballad directed at an ex-lover. Hear her perform this touching gem live from her home for MSN below (via MyPoproks).
Once you’ve wiped away those breakup ode-induced tears, enjoy Adele’s fun cover of the SteelDrivers’ 2008 song “If It Hadn’t Been for Love,” the B-side to “Rolling in the Deep,” after the cut, as well:
