This video for Adele’s new single, “Rolling in the Deep,” off her Rick Rubin-co-produced sophomore record, 21, hit the Web earlier this week, and, though it’s probably crossed your path already, I’d be remiss in not endorsing it here. Perhaps we’re just suckers for behind-the-scenes studio footage, timeless soul-pop jams, or anything with the Rubin name attached ‘round here, but her voice, the arrangement, and production on this tune are just killing me. (Not sure we even need an Amy Winehouse comeback while Adele is unleashing gems like this.) If you dig it, check out her great new ballad, “Someone Like You,” performed on Later with Jools Holland the other day.
