מארק רונסון מדבר על אדל
המפיק התותח, שהפיק לאדל את "Could Shoulder" מהאלבום הראשון, נשאל עליה לפני כמה ימים בראיון ל"איבנינג סטאנדרד": How do you feel about your pal Adele's success? With all the manufactured, computer-adulterated pop out there, it's great that when a person comes along with an incredible voice and real songs it still trumps everything. It's great for the music industry that it happened. And I love Adele as a friend, I think she's f***ing amazing. Can you take some of the credit? I championed her early on but she didn't need me for her success; it was always going to happen. Sometimes the stars just line up and that's it. What were your first impressions of her? When I met her she was 18, chain-smoking Marlboro Lights, and watching Jerry Springer. She said, 'This is the song I want you to produce.' I was struck by her determination.
