Click to listen to Adele's 'Live at Royal Albert Hall'

Adele has had a phenomenal year. Her second album 21 has been the biggest-selling record of 2011, and her hits "Someone Like You" and "Rolling in the Deep" have made her a cross-generational superstar. Though the British singer has had the sort of year most artists can only dream of, there has been a downside, as her struggle with recurring hemorrhaging of her vocal cords has forced her to cancel dozens of concerts and keep out of the public eye until she has fully recovered. In the meantime, fans can enjoy her new concert album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, which includes selections from both of her albums performed at the legendary venue in London earlier this year. You buy the DVD/CD set from Amazon tomorrow, and stream the album in full today.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
