Adele – Rolling in the Deep

“Rolling in the Deep” – Single by Adele from the album 21, released on November 29, 2010.

This is the first single from English R&B singer-songwriter Adele’s second album 21. The song was written and produced by Adele and British producer Paul Epworth, who is best known for manning the boards for Bloc Party and Florence and the Machine, and also for his work on Everything Is New, the second release from Adele’s chum, Jack Peñate. Adele describes the single as a “dark bluesy gospel disco tune.”

While she was touring North America in support of 19, Adele was introduced by her bus driver to a Wanda Jackson greatest hits album. As she traveled round the Southern states, she found herself drawn to American country music, including Alison Krauss, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. Once she began prepping her sophomore release back in England, Adele began incorporating those new influences into songs, like this one where her voice incorporates in part Jackson’s dirty-blues growl.

21 was the best-selling album of both 2011 and 2012 in the US with sales of 5.8 and 4.4 million respectively. It was the first time one longplayer had topped the sales chart for two years in a row since Nielsen Soundscan began tracking US album sales in 1991.

Adele also scored the best-selling single of the year with this song.

The music video for “Rolling in the Deep,” directed by Sam Brown, premiered on Channel 4 on 3 December 2010. The video begins in an abandoned house, where Adele is sitting in a chair singing. During the video, the scenes show hundreds of glasses filled with water that vibrate to the beat of a drum. Jennifer White, who also choreographed the sequence, dances in a room kicking up white flour.] The drummer plays his drums under the stairs, and china is thrown breaking on a piece of suspended plywood at the bottom of a staircase. There is a white model of a city which is set on fire by five bursting light bulbs at the end of the song. The music video received critical acclaim, with critics praising its dark tone and simplicity.

On 20 July 2011, the music video was nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Direction, and won three for Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.[9] The video won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video on 12 February 2012. As of May 2023, the music video has received over 2.28 billion views, and 11 million likes on YouTube.
