Found in: Music, NewsAdele: 21
On 21, she sounds refreshed and poised to attack. There's no change in style—this is still the stuff of a sensual modern pop-noir landscape, heavy on retro textures and relationship drama. But she's sacrificed some of her debut's sparse moodiness, resulting in a more cohesive, immediate batch, littered with knock-outs.

Today, March 10, is legendary producer Rick Rubin’s 47th birthday, he of epic beard fame.

If Ain’t No Grave, the final installment in Johnny Cash’s rich collaboration with producer Rick Rubin, had appeared in, say, 1980, in the midst of an otherwise undistinguished run of Cash albums, it would have hardly caused a ripple. The raw ingredients—a few covers of well-known country hits, a couple of traditional folk songs, an original sacred composition—reprise the same formula that Cash employed since the early ’70s. It had all been done before, and many times.... read more
