A British Invasion

                             

Lately in the U.S British bands and artists have become more and more popular. Bands including One Direction and the Wanted. Some singers include Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Jessie J. All of these artists have had a song that almost everyone in the U.S had heard at least once on the radio.

                            Adele, a British pop singer who has won over fans internationally in recent months, has reportedly described her musical style as a “heartbroken soul.”   It’s hard to ignore her soulful, contagious voice, along with her classy style and new songwriting skills. You can’t help but notice this in her hit songs: “Someone Like You,” and “Rolling in the Deep.” Since January, the release of her second album, 21, Adele has sold out her entire North American tour.

                            As for bands I would say the most popular in the U.S is One Direction. Members that make up the band include Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They are an English-Irish pop boy band that's based in London, England. They signed with Syco Records, Simon Cowell's record label, after forming and finishing third in the seventh season of the British singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Some of their most popular songs include "What Makes You Beautiful" from their first album Up All Night, and their song "Live While We're Young" from their second album Take Me Home.

                             If history keeps repeating itself then I think every generation will have their own British invasion. Whether it's a small one or a big one (like The Beatles, The Who, and The Rolling Stones or One Direction and Adel). Some of today's best artists are British. Also some of the greatest bands of all time are British such as The Beatles.
