 While she was touring North America in support of her Grammy-winning 2008 album, 19, R&B singer Adele says a whole new world of musical inspiration opened up for her after a friend introduced her to a country legend. "I got addicted to this Wanda Jackson hits album," says the singer. "She's so cheeky and so raunchy. She's kind of like the female Elvis: really sexual, not afraid to embarrass herself." It wasn't just Jackson's music she discovered: Traveling extensively in the South for the first time, she found herself drawn to American country music, in general. ("I never was a fan of it growing up, because we don't really have it in England.") Back home in London last fall, Adele began incorporating those new influences — Jackson, Alison Krauss, Lady Antebellum, in particular — into songs like "Rolling in the Deep," where her voice takes on a hint of Jackson's dirty-blues growl. "I wanted the songs not to have anything glittery or glamorous about them, like an organic tapestry rather than like a Gaga album," says the 21-year-old singer. "I mean, I love Gaga, but I didn't want to get wrapped up in all that European dance music." Keep up with rock's latest news in Random Notes. Instead, Adele headed west, to Malibu's Shangri La Studios, to work with producer Rick Rubin on her second disc, due out in September. "I was expecting it to be really difficult and that I would be quite scared the whole time, being in his company," she says. "But I've never been so chilled out in my life. Rick is the calmest person I've ever met. We would jam out a song for a while, and then see what we had." She had support from a crack session band, including bassist Pino Palladino, keyboard player James Poyser, guitarists Matt Sweeney and Smokey Hormel, and drummer Chris Dave, who do a masterful job augmenting Adele's melodies without intruding on them. "It's such an honest record, and I'm really moved by it," she says. "It's not hidden behind anything, and even though that's what I wanted, I was a little bit scared of it. It makes me want to burst out crying whenever I hear it." www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/184422At least one US DJ has heard the upcoming single, "Rolling in the Deep," and had this to say: "is one of the best songs I've heard this year! They haven't even serviced the record yet, but if I had it, I'd be pushing very hard to get it on here! It's THAT good!" Kirk Michaels, San Jose, CA, KEZR |

I'm definitely stoked about hearing new material from Adele. It's great to hear that she doesn't feel compelled to follow trends.

Her debut album was beyond genius! A true masterpiece.
I have been wanting a new album since then. MAN, I cannot wait!
I'm so glad she's not following any trends too. And Rick Rubin? It's GOTTA be good.

Nice title.  I love "Chasing Pavements" and "Hometown Glory" but the rest of "19" is just okay IMO. |

Love the cover and the title. I'm excited about hearing new Adele. 19 was excellent.

I'm very surprised that rolling in the deep hasn't leaked yet. DJs and other insiders have been raving about it for months now.

"Rolling In The Deep" is fantastic. It's so authentically 60s; it sounds like "Gimme Shelter". Somewhere Duffy is PRESSED.

I haven't felt this level of enthusiasm for a new song in a few years. I hear a bit of rockabilly in the verses, along with the other influences mentioned. What a terrific statement single from Adele.

The single is a masterpiece. Grammy winner right there, ladies and gentlemen. Too bad it will never go anywhere on US radio but weirder things have happened!

Adele didn't disappoint! "Rolling in the Deep" is a fantastic song. It's right up there with "Hometown Glory" and "Chasing Pavements."
