British Soul Women

It took me awhile, but I've finally gotten caught up with the British Soul Women of 2008. Adele, Estelle and Duffy. The latter was in my Top 10 of 2008. While Adele and Estelle were good but not great records. Yet, of all 3 I would bet Adele's vocals will keep her in the game longer than the other two. And then there's Lily Allen's new album, which while not Soul, is better than all 3 of those albums. She's got a sense of humor, she writes about her love life with a frankness that only Pink could match, and her songs come wrapped in just enough hooks to keep me interested.
