There have been many famous singers who have entertained us over the years, but you would have a difficult time finding one with a bigger following than Adele. Some of her songs have truly gone in their own direction, and this includes a single from her second studio album, 21.
It’s hard to believe that the song, ‘Rolling in the Deep’ has been out since 2011. As the lead single for her second studio album, it helped to launch her popularity in an entirely new way.
She describes the song as being a dark blues-y gospel disco tune, but was much more than that. It was one of the biggest crossover hits of all time, and it was played on radios everywhere.
Rolling in the Deep seemed to gain a lot of favor, not only from her loyal fans but also from the critics. It was seen both in the way that the music came forward as well as the performance that she put into the music when she sang it.
In 12 different countries, Rolling in the Deep reached the top of the charts and was in the top 10 in many more. It also reached number one in the United States, which was a first for the artist.
Every song has a story, and a Nashville US tour bus driver seems to be the one who inspired the song. After Adele had broken up with her then-boyfriend, the song was written in a single afternoon.
According to some, it was ‘her reaction to, ‘being told that my life was going to be boring and lonely and rubbish, and that I was a weak person if I didn’t stay in the relationship.’
It’s one thing to hear the song playing on the radio but quite another to watch her singing it in real-life. Fortunately, you can experience that in this video, even if you missed the concert.
