A short disclaimer: Because a lot of our interviews are conducted at festivals, music venues, hotels, restaurants, and the like, the quality of the audio isn't always in our full control, so please bare with us when the sound quality doesn't always match that of other podcasts. Having said that, we do want to provde the listener with as comfortable a listening experiences as possible, so not every interview that we do as FaceCulture will find its way to the podcast. All interviews we do are still available on www.youtube.com/faceculture. Thanks for your continued support!

Adele (2008)
Back in 2008 we were extremely lucky to get an interview with then 19 year old Adele, just as her star was on the rise and she had released her first album 19. Obviously nobody knew exactly how big her voice and music would become, and the ridiculous levels of success she would rise to. That's partly why we really like this interview, because it shows Adele as who she was at that moment in time, how she thought about her music and where she wanted to take it. We spoke about the album, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald, songwriting, being just like anyone else, and a lot more! Support the showThank you for listening!
