Composed in the aftermath of the singer's separation from her then partner, the album typifies the near dormant tradition of the confessional singer-songwriter in its exploration of heartbreak, introspection, and forgiveness.Īdele began writing 21 in April 2009, when still involved in the relationship that subsequently inspired the record. 21 shares the Motown/ soul influences of her 2008 debut album 19, but was further inspired by the American country and Southern blues music to which she had been exposed during the North American leg of her 2008–09 tour An Evening with Adele. The album was named after the age of the singer during its production. It was released on 24 January 2011 in Europe by XL Recordings and on 22 February 2011 in North America by Columbia Records. 21 is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Adele.
