Adele

House
HouseJazzPop

Adele is a House and Jazz act. Their catalogue also touches Pop, Rhythm and blues and Rock. Their sound grew out of Brown Eyed Girl, The Bird and the Bee, Vicetone, Fastlove and Jamie xx. Those roots explain a lot about how Adele arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sam Smith, Sia, Sienna Spiro, Jessie J and Rihanna, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sam Smith, Bridgit Mendler, Anna Naklab, Black Country, New Road and Mary Lambert, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 160 connections around Adele, reaching back through Brown Eyed Girl and forward to Sam Smith.
