Influences: "POOR YOU" TOUR KICKOFF, RICHARDS ON RICHARDS, FEB 2009
ADALINE OPENING FOR HOLLY MCNARLAND
ADALINE LIVE ON GLOBAL MORNING NEWS
Sounds Like: "Top Echelon of Canada's female Indie singer-songwriters: This year’s squad includes Jenn Grant, Emma-Lee, Paisley Jura, Lucie Idlout, Adaline, Sierra Noble, and Hannah Georgas." February 2009
THE VANCOUVER SUN, THE EDMONTON JOURNAL, THE CALGARY HERALD, THE OTTAWA CITIZEN, THE MONTREAL GAZETTE
"Watching Adaline perform her own melodic pop material is a bit like watching someone in the midst of some kind of massive physical and emotional release. Her performance is intimate and raw and exuberant. She plays the keyboard like it's an extension of her own body and smiles with genuine appreciation at her enthusiastic audience.
On Famous for Fire, she succeeded in her mission to make it both accessible and personal. The songs go far beyond traditional singer-songwriter fare - so much of which sounds the same. Instead, it verges on experimental pop rock that showcases her gorgeous voice and skill at the piano.
It's also a name you should remember, because there's enough talent behind it to take Adaline well beyond the confines Vancouver's live venues."
-Amy O'Brian, THE VANCOUVER SUN
"Sweet Adaline's on a winner"
"There are a lot of good debut CD's that come across [my] desk. Few can boast the combination of ethereal and sassy vocals, pristine musicianship and mature songwriting in "Famous For Fire". From the dirty Basin Street trumpet lines Adaline matches in "Whiter Straighter" to the roboto-groove of "Chemical Spill", her disc is a winner. Where did this girl get her chops? She says the results [of recording] were both artistically intriguing and - she hopes - appealing. I say yes."
-Stuart Derdeyn, THE PROVINCE
"Vancouver-based singer/songwriter/keyboardist Adaline deftly blends elements that seemingly range from Brian Eno to Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, Kurt Weill to Radiohead. Entrancing arrangements highlighted by vocal acrobatics soaring overtop of undulating keyboards and propulsive percussion, both real and electronic. Clearly a standout from the glut of Sarah McLachlan wannabes."
FOUR STARS, TV WEEK MAGAZINE
"Adaline kept it in the family by working on" Famous for Fire" with Tyson, whose guitar contributions fuel the more rock-oriented half of the album, including tunes like "Broken Glass", "State of Mind", and "Poor You". And as far as melodic rockers go, the pounding "Pioneering" would be a standout on anyone's record. But the most anomalous track is "Chemical Spill", an alienated, paranoid-android type of song featuring a skittish drum program and blunt guitar tone. And the result is Famous for Fire, a promising debut showcasing Adaline's talents."
-Shawn Conner, THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT
"Adaline has interesting moods and sounds in her songs and several numbers on her debut release Famous for Fire have chilling, modern, psychedelic overtones. The lush and reverberant atmosphere sits well with the arty vibe that Adaline projects. She non-pretentiously embraces the pop and experimental characters of her own genre and her voice is relaxed and expressive; able to sound soothing while scaling high registers. The intimate delivery that she achieves works well in the dense and exploratory sonics of Meaningless Meeting and Broken Glass and culminates in contemporary, electric, Edith Piaf Parisian rock café tunes. These songs choose a different path than most, and this approach works to create an album that vibrates with unique presence and haunting sounds." VERNON MORNING STAR
"When I got this album in, I was kind of under the impression it was going to be a fairly low key, female vocalist kind of thing. What surprised me was the depth. It’s nice then to hear something that bucks this trend, an manages to carve a niche of it’s own.
Just an amazing album, that had me constantly notching up Adaline’s final mark, as I kept playing the album and finding new things to love. Aural candy and very tasty - 9 out of 10"
