Adele

Arguably one of the strongest moments in "19", the third single off Adele's commercially triumphal debut begins with instrumental sounds that could pass for a sampler of Massive Attack's seminal classic "Unfinished Sympathy"; the similarities end there, as soon the singer's vocal pyrotechnics hit in, the track is turned into a far less sophisticated exercise. Mark Ronson is on controls, adding his blend of retro and contemporary soul touches, which will keep on fueling comparisons between Adele and the producer's most famous protégée Amy Winehouse. "Cold Shoulder" is correct and radio-friendly, but not truly inspired.  shazam
