Heartbreak never sounded so triumphant. Adele's 21 weaponises romantic devastation across soul-drenched anthems and piano-bar confessionals, her voice suggesting Amy Winehouse's grit without the chaos. Paul Epworth's gospel-stomp production on "Rolling in the Deep" turned jilted fury into a stadium singalong, while "Someone Like You" proved raw vulnerability could stop traffic.
The album's staggering success—31 million copies, six Grammys, two years atop charts—wasn't just commerce but cultural validation: proper songs, properly sung, still mattered. Adele made misery feel monumental.
