Adele - 21

Product Information

Adele first intended to title the album Rolling in the Deep, [29] her adaptation of the slang phrase "roll deep," which summarises how she felt about her relationship; in her loose translation, the phrase refers to having someone "that has your back" and always supports you. Where 19 marked the turbulent swan song to a teenage life, 21 introduces the realities of adult life, where grown-up responsibilities collide with heartache and emotional scars run deep.

was the best-selling worldwide release in 2011 with 18million units sold, and it remained the best-selling release with an additional 8. The singer underwent corrective vocal surgery in November 2011 and cancelled all public appearances until February 2012. Matthew Cole from Slant Magazine was less impressed, believing Adele's vocals masked the "blandness" of many of the songs, a fault that he said would have been more apparent had they been performed by a lesser talent. Adele had written "Take It All" during a difficult moment in her 18-month relationship, which ended shortly after she first played this song for her boyfriend. On 17 May 2012, 21 became the 29th album since 1991 to sell over 9million copies in the United States and became the first album in the United States to sell that amount since Usher's Confessions reached sales of 9million in 2005.Er stand 2013 für 10 Wochen an der Spitze der Single-Charts, war Sommerhit 2013, Hit des Jahres 2013 – und schaffte es im Frühjahr 2018, kurz nach dem Tod Aviciis, noch einmal bis auf Rang 13. Each note serenades the soul, carrying on its wings the deep despair and euphoric exaltation only Adele can evoke.

That record was later broken by Billie Eilish, who was 18 years old when she won all "big four" Grammys in one night in 2020. And it's like this on all tracks with a little more instrumentation than a voice and a single instrument. Crafted using top-tier vinyl to ensure durability and sustain the resounding richness of the tracks over time.Robert Christgau gave the album a two-star honourable mention in his consumer guide for MSN Music, writing that "part of me likes how many albums this proud white-soul normal has sold, but the part that likes fast ones wins". With the demos of two songs recorded, Adele approached American musician and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who was in London at the time for a radio show. The lead single " Rolling in the Deep" was released in November 2010 and peaked on the charts in the Netherlands, [73] Germany, [74] Belgium, [75] Italy, and Switzerland. Delivered starkly at first with Adele set against simple piano accompaniment and later backed by a gospel choir, it's an instant-classic sort of song in the tradition of "The Rose," "And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going," and "All by Myself" that could stand over the years as a career landmark for the singer and a cathartic moment for fans who identify with their idol's Pyrrhic lovelorn persona.
