Strong vocals.

At first I wanted to make Fiona Apple comparison because of her husky voice but she's definitely more of a singer than a songwriter. The songs are driven by the vocals which are impressive. The melody is strong and the pacing of the song is also quite satisfying, though I can't help but think that her future as a musician depends on how willing she is to take control of her own music. This single Chasing Pavements sounds like a joint-songwriting project with industry professionals that lends it a polished but ultimately soulless feel that is juxtaposed sharply with Adele's soulful warble.
