Rewind: Adele on 21, Devastating Breakups, and Covering The Cure

from Kyle Meredith With... Hosted by Consequence Podcast Network

In this 2010 Rewind interview, Adele chats with Kyle Meredith about the growth that took place between her debut album, 19, and her second album, 21. Listen to the conversation now. Adele discusses the emotional inspiration behind 21, which emerged from a devastating breakup that led her to create some of her most powerful music of her career. She reveals that she initially struggled to find direction, waiting for life to hit her with the emotional experiences she draws upon for songwriting. Such raw vulnerability is clear in hits like "Rolling in the Deep," which, contrary to her expectations, skyrocketed as a viral hit worldwide. Adele also shares her experience covering The Cure's "Lovesong," a choice suggested by producer Rick Rubin, and her deep appreciation for reinterpretations of her music, like Jamie xx's remix of "Rolling in the Deep." Listen to Adele chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.
