Adele - 21

Adele is set to return with the release of her eagerly anticipated
new single and album.

About its release she says “I'm very excited, nervous, eager,
anxious but chuffed to announce my new album! It's taken a
while and it knocked me for six when writing it. It's different
from ‘19’, it's about the same things but in a different light. I
deal with things differently now. I'm more patient, more
honest, more forgiving and more aware of my own flaws, habits
and principles. Something that comes with age I think. So
fittingly this record is called ‘21’. The whole reason I called my
first album ‘19’ was about cataloging what happened to me
then and who I was then, like a photo album you see the
progression and changes in a person throughout the years” .

Most of the album was made in Malibu with the legendary Rick
Rubin (Johnny Cash, Jay Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and back in
Kensal Rise in London with Paul Epworth (Plan B, Bloc Party,
Florence).

Adele cites Wanda Jackson, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Mary J
Blige, Mos Def, Elbow, Tom Waits and Kanye West amongst
others as key influences on ‘21’.

Adele has already had an incredible career. Aged 19, she
became the first recipient of the BRITS Critics’ Choice Award.
Her Mercury nominated debut album ‘19’ went straight in the
UK Charts at number one and went on to become double
platinum and sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Her debut
single ‘Chasing Pavements’ was also a massive hit reaching
number two in the UK and becoming a big hit globally. In 2009,
at 20 years old, she won two Grammy Awards for Best New
Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Critically acclaimed by many of her musical contemporaries,
Adele well and truly made her mark. Chapter two begins here.
