Adie's Singing Voice

Music critics have often praised Adie's unique voice. Todd Hertz from Christianity Today described her voice as both "lovely and ferocious." He noted it had a "strange combination" of the soft, wavering style of Björk and the powerful sound of Shirley Manson. Another reviewer from the Daily Herald newspaper said Adie's voice reminded them of singers like Gwen Stefani, Aimee Echo, Christina Aguilera, and Shakira. Even with these comparisons, her voice always remained "very unique and distinctive."
