21

'21' is the second studio album by multi-award winning British singer-songwriter Adele. Oozing with maturity and confidence, Adele delivers a stunning follow up to her sensational debut, '19', exploring themes of anger, revenge, heartbreak, and forgiveness in a compelling fashion.

With fresh influences of country and blues, in addition to the essential folk and Motown incorporations, tracks such as 'Rolling in the Deep', 'Someone Like You', and 'Set Fire to the Rain' typify the quality on offer. An esteemed production team, including Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Jay Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Paul Epworth (Plan B, Bloc Party, Florence & the Machine), provide a solid structure, allowing Adele to spread her wings and showcase her powerful and emotional vocal talent on every track.

'21' is an outstanding album that compels, excites, and provokes the listener. Undoubtedly a must have! (John Minard)
