The sophomore album from British singer-songwriter Adele. "21" offered Adele the opportunity to work with such luminary producers and songwriters as Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson and Fraser T. Smith, as well as continuing to work with Francis "Eg" White and Jim Abbiss.

It's fitting that the self-titled album will bear the iconic logo of Stax Records, because at certain moments Rateliff seems to be channeling soul greats like Otis Redding and Sam & Dave. But as this gifted multi-instrumentalist honors the legacy of the legendary Memphis label, he's also setting out into audacious new territory.

Released in 2003 and previously available only as an import, this debut album from Amy Winehouse proves to be one of the most original, honest, and brave to emerge in recent years. The first single, Stronger Than Me, has a contemporary soulful jazz-influenced sound.
