Florence comes across as being a little more organically influenced than Adele, but others are right, Florence still has a lot to prove with her next outing. Time will tell.

Is Adele writing her own songs. I could give two turds about singers. I think they are great musicians but I want singer/songwriters to make a comeback. To me singer/songwriters are artists and great singers are just great musicians.

I liked Chasing Pavements and her new song is nice, but she is not blowing me out of the water. Florence seems to be more of the real thing to me

P.S. I hate to sound negative about Adele because I'm sure she is a nice person.
