Adele is a 22-year-old woman from London whose voice sounds as if it's being yanked out of her chest through the throat of someone much older; someone shouldering more painful stories and a far larger chest cavity. She says that both of her albums — 2008's 19 , for which she won Best New Artist at the Grammys, and this one, 21 — are about boys, two different ones. The stories she tells about them are average, familiar, normal. The voice she uses to tell them is a force of nature.

Traditiegetrouw organiseert 3voor12 op Motel Mozaique sessies, die ook voor mensen zonder festivalbandje gratis te bezoeken zijn. En die ook voor niks online terug te zien zijn, want we nemen ze uiteraard ook op. Ditmaal was jazzcafé BIRD, de nieuwe aanwinst in het Rotterdamse live-circuit, onze sessielocatie. Elf acts traden op en fotografe Leonie Poot legde ze allemaal vast.
