With sessions in LA and London, Adele battled with the desire to stay “private” while “sharing with millions and millions” her most intimate thoughts on her break-up.
One of the album’s top engineers, Andrew Scheps, today reflects on how 21’s tunes went beyond heartbreak anthems, and were a “real woman talking about a real break-up in a real way”.
Multi-Grammy winning Scheps reveals Adele took charge of much of the process despite working with top creatives like Paul Epworth, Dan Wilson and Rick Rubin. Scheps says that audiences fell in love with the star, who has the rare ability to convince listeners of her true and heartbroken emotions.
