balladeer

Since Grupo Firme’s record-setting run, other regional Mexican acts have played at Crypto.com and Peacock Theater, such as corridos tumbados singer Junior H, sad sierreño act Eslabon Armado and romantic balladeer Iván Cornejo.

Earlier this month, the British balladeer confirmed during another Munich show that she and sports agent Rich Paul were engaged after repeatedly referring to Paul as her fiancé — and sometimes her “husband” — for months.

The British balladeer, who broke through with the 2008 hit “Chasing Pavements,” added that she misses everything about life before fame.

McLachlan didn’t stay, returning instead to Canada, where she continued honing her style until she became a star on her own terms: a sensitive but muscular balladeer known for her pristine vocals and for the searching, philosophical tone of hit songs like “Adia,” “Possession,” “Angel” and “Building a Mystery.”

An elite balladeer with stylistic range, Boone made like a seasoned pop-soul troubadour at times, later delivering soaring folk-pop anthems with “My Greatest Fear” and the heart-pouring “Pretty Slowly,” a cathartic unreleased number.
