Let me know what you think of the new tunes! Ryan@1049JRfm.com

Adele’s Rolling in the Deep has quickly become a heavy favourite on my iTune’s list.

If you are unfamiliar with Adele, her vocals have been described as having “a hint of Wanda Jackson’s dirty-blues growl”.

Adele has been around for a few years now and is finally starting to hit North American Music Charts with her new single “Rolling in the Deep”.

But did you know?…In 2009, Adele won two  Grammy Awards! One for “Best New Artist” and another for “Best Female Pop Vocal performance”.

Rolling in the Deep peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and continues to top the charts worldwide!

You can hear Rolling in the Deep on the airwaves of 104.9 JRfm!
