In today's episode of Boing Boing tv, our UK-based music correspondent Russell Porter interviews Adele, who describes her sound as "heartbroken soul." Adele's new album "19" was nominated for a Mercury Prize (think: Grammys, sort of, for the UK), and Russell caught up with her at the awards show backstage. Adele will be the musical guest on the October 18 edition of Saturday Night Live! The video for her song "Chasing Pavement" excerpted in today's BBtv was directed by Matthew Cullen.
