So good I almost can’t look right at it is Adele’s new video for her first single from 21 (out February 22nd), ‘Rolling in the Deep.’ The video was directed by Sam Brown (Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Doves) and takes place in an abandoned mansion turned abstract art project. I have a deep affection for her debut single ‘Chasing Pavements’ but this song is a triumph, with echos of Peggy’s Lee’s ‘Fever,’ gospel, and Nina Simone whose gradual intro grows into a bursting well spring of soul. And god the clapping around 2:32? AMAZING.
