Adele - Rolling in the Deep

Music Appreciation

Written by Adele and Paul Epworth, Rolling in the Deep was released on November 29, 2010. The lead single and opening track received critical acclaim, reaching number one on many Billboard charts and received a Grammy for Song of the Year. 

Epworth and Adele composed the song one afternoon following Adele's breakup with her boyfriend. In an interview with Caroline Sanderson of The Independent, she explained, "[it was my 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. I was very insulted, and I wrote that as a sort of 'fuck you'."

Sam Brown directed the music video, which begins with Adele sitting in a chair inside an abandoned house. The video switches between various rooms that includes glass water, a pile of china dishes, a drummer, a cityscape model, and choreographer Jennifer White (IG: movejenmov) dancing in white powder. 

The music video won a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video and the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing.
