Adele choses the Tracks of My Years and live music from Jason Mraz

Adele chooses the Tracks of My Years back in 2011 following the release of her second album '21'. Plus Ken has live music from Jason Mraz as part of Radio 2 House Music.

Adele chooses the Tracks of My Years with Ken back in 2011 following the release of her second album '21', which became the fourth biggest selling album of all time and was the longest-running number 1 album by a female solo artist in the UK and America.

London born Adele won the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sound of 2008 poll and released her debut album '19' that year. She is one of the most successful artists of the 21st Century. Her award shelf features nine Brits, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and fifteen Grammy Awards. Following her debut single 'Chasing Pavements' were a string of top ten chart hits including a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love', but her first number 1 came in 2011 with the release of 'Someone Like You'.
Adele's penultimate picks of the week in 2011 come from Gabrielle and The Cranberries. In the subsequent years Adele released her third album '25' in 2015 which is the fastest-selling album of all time and recorded the James Bond theme 'Skyfall' for the film's 2012 release. Her fourth album is due out later this year.

Ken has live music on the show from Jason Mraz as part of Radio 2 House Music in an exclusive collaboration with the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra. Jason joins us from his organic farm in Oceanside, California in the USA. Jason released his debut album β€˜Waiting For The Rocket To Come’ in 2002. In 2009 he received his first Grammy Award nomination for his single β€˜I’m Yours’, and went on to win two Grammys the following year. In 2017 Jason made his Broadway debut in the musical β€˜Waitress’ in the role of Dr. Pomatter. His seventh album β€˜Looking For Good’ is due for release in June. The album is produced by reggae mastermind Michael Goldwasser who has previously worked with Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse and his own band Easy Star All-Stars.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
