This refrain

She better not have anything as terrible as Uptown Trash

I don't know. I just feel like she went to the obvious pop producers for melodies, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Max Martin didn't even produce a single, just helped her write one.

She said she wanted something more "raw" than 21 and I imagine she still could have done that even using pop producers.

One more month

Let's hope.

Rolling Stone cover better be true.

"Rawer than 21" must mean using live instruments and raw vocals on the final album cut.

Amy's impact Exciting!

On the 23rd!

If they made something Cold Shoulder quality I hope it made the album. One of my favorite Adele songs.

OMG

Amy flies in paradise.

Didn't we already know this?

Isn't that what 21 is pretty much though?

At some points the CD/mp3 version of 21 doesn't do justice to Adele's voice. Read more about that here: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=103744.0.

So what does live instruments and raw vocals have to do with this? Seems like based off what I read it was something with compression of the sounds etc

Nothing really, let's move on.

I'm expecting more Back to Black then Uptown Funk

I miss the pre-21 era..where things weren't over-hyped and the music just came out.
all this yapping and media politicking.

And yes I was here for the bandwagon, my receipts are all over last fm, pre-dating 21 selling a single copy.
