Rolling in the deep, tears are gonna fall.

When Britain's soulful Adele first made it across the Atlantic a few years back it was easy to lose her in the shadow of the Amy Winehouse's invasion of the airwaves.

I found it hard not to compare the two singers, and frankly, for me, Amy Winehouse could do no wrong in that period before she spiralled into tabloid crack-whore infamy.

So it's refreshing to be caught off guard now by Rolling in the Deep, Adele's sorrowful yet thumping lead single off her new album, 21. A little melancholy suits her, along with a gorgeous video that proves you don't necessarily need pyrotechnics, when you got the pipes to sell the song all on its own.

Awesome.

Amy who?
