Adele – 21 (2011)

The heartbreak-fueled 21 turned Adele into a global phenomenon. With a production dream team including Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, and Jim Abbiss, the 2011 album delivers sweeping ballads and foot-stomping anthems alike. Each producer adds a unique layer, resulting in a textured, emotional powerhouse that redefined modern soul-pop.
