When we think of songs and singers that have captured our hearts with power ballads and pop tunes, London native Adele is one of the first to come to our minds. From writing beautiful lyrics about healing a broken heart to falling in love, the singer-songwriter knows exactly what it takes to reflect our personal experiences.

Whether she is headlining stadiums or minimal concert halls around the world, Adele's presence makes us feel connected to her as a person and an artist. Without a doubt, one of Adele's best and most stirring concerts is her charming and charismatic appearance on NPR'S Tiny Desk Concert in 2011.

Given only a confined space of a cubicle to make music come alive, NPR's Tiny Desk Concert shines a spotlight on musicians without the roaring hum of thousands of fans. It's the artist, their music, and us, the listeners.

It's impossible to deny the power of emotion Adele evokes not just in the melody of her songs but also her voice as a performer.

In 2008, the singer shared with Rolling Stone magazine, "I make music for the ears, not eyes."
