Product Information

Adele Inspired by Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now": Grammy-Winning Singer Discovers Country Music Through Her Bus Driver". 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. The album's performance on the Billboard 200 chart earned 21 the distinction of all-time number one album on the chart, according to a summary performed by Billboard in November 2015. The album was nominated for the 2011 Barclaycard Mercury Prize [216] but lost to Let England Shake by PJ Harvey. In February 2015, the album reached 208 straight weeks, or four years, on the Billboard 200 chart, spending only 24 of those weeks outside the Top 100.

Due to these successes, Billboard declared Adele the Artist of the Year for the second year in a row, making her the first solo female artist to receive the honor twice. This makes 21 only the seventh album to ever achieve this feat in Australia and the first to do so since Delta Goodrem's Innocent Eyes.Although the initial popularity of these artists in the early 2000s incited the media to declare a "new wave of British invasion", [261] Joseph Viney of Sputnikmusic saw their subsequent absence as an opportunity for Adele to "stake her claim as the UK's leading solo female artist".

When they met in Malibu, he attempted to "capture her live show across on [her] record," [14] assembling a team of musicians—including drummer Chris Dave, guitarist Matt Sweeney, James Poyser on piano, and Pino Palladino on bass—to contribute live instrumentation to the recording sessions. Nevertheless, although my first copy was a little noisy, when replaced, the new one sounds mostly quiet and continues to make for an enjoyable listening experience. Quality of vinyl shames most audiophile pressings and less background noise than any recent Pallas output I have heard.Coincidentally, it perfectly captured the experience of the singer, who arrived at the studio moments after another altercation with her former lover. Rubin, notorious for his unorthodox production style, pushed the singer beyond her comfort zone, and despite being drawn to his unconventional methods, Adele described working with the producer as daunting.

Ryan Reed of Paste regarded her voice as "a raspy, aged-beyond-its-years thing of full-blooded beauty", [39] while MSN Music 's Tom Townshend declared her "the finest singer of [our] generation".
