Answer 1 : ALTO

In vocal music alto (Italian: “high”) is the register approximately between the F below middle C to the second D above—the second highest part in four-part music. The word alto originally referred to the highest male voice, singing falsetto (countertenor).

Alto derives from the term contratenor altus, which in Renaissance music referred to the part immediately above the tenor part. Female alto voices are often called contralto. The term alto is also used for musical instruments having a more or less comparable range—e.g., alto saxophone, alto clarinet, alto flute. The meaning of alto in French is “tenor violin” or “tenor saxhorn”—a pitfall for translators; contralte in French means the English “alto.”

Answer 2 : ADELE

Adele, byname of Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, (born May 5, 1988, Tottenham, London, England), is an English pop singer and songwriter whose soulful emotive voice and traditionally crafted songs made her one of the most broadly popular performers of her generation.

After building anticipation in Britain with some well-received live performances, Adele released her first album, 19, in 2008. (The title referred to the age at which she penned most of the tracks.) The recording debuted at number one on the British album chart, and critics praised Adele’s supple phrasing, her tasteful arrangements, and her ability to channel her intimate emotional experiences  into songs that had wide resonance. In 2009 she won Grammy Awards for best new artist and best female pop vocal performance.

Her next album, 21 (2011), was a bolder and more stylistically diverse set of material, with singles ranging from the earthy gospel- and disco-inflected “Rolling in the Deep” to the affecting breakup ballad “Someone like You.” Both songs hit number one in multiple countries, and, despite a vocal-cord ailment that forced Adele to cancel numerous tour dates in 2011, the album became the biggest-selling release of the year in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

In 2013 Adele won the Grammy for best pop solo performance for “Set Fire to the Rain,” from her concert album Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2011), and she picked up an Academy Award for the theme song for the James Bond movie Skyfall (2012).

Adele returned in 2015 with the album 25, which sold more than 20 million copies, followed in 2021 by the album, 30. The emotionally candid work—many of the songs deal with her divorce and its aftermath—was widely acclaimed.
