|content=[[File:Raconteurs many shades of black.png|150px|right|link=]]'''"Many Shades of Black"''' is a song by the band [[The Raconteurs]]. It appears as the eighth track on their second album, Consolers of the Lonely. It is also the second single from the album and was made available in 7" vinyl format. The cover art depicts Mary Todd Lincoln or Abraham Lincoln depending on the way the inner sleeve is turned. The track is also available as downloadable content for the music video game Rock Band 2. The release of the single contains a version of the song performed by British soul singer [[Adele]]. Adele has performed this song live several times, including during [[An Evening with Adele|her tour]], and it was included on the deluxe edition of her album [[19]]. The Adele version was featured in the ending of the 90210 episode, "Wild Alaskan Salmon" (episode 6, season 2). It also appeared as the first track on the 90210 soundtrack. The song peaked at number 37 on the U.S. Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.
|content='''"Hiding My Heart"''' (sometimes referred to as '''"Hiding My Heart Away"''') is a song recorded [[File:ADELE - Hiding My Heart.png|150px|right|link=]]by [[Adele]] for the UK Limited Edition release of her sophomore album, [[21]]. It was originally recorded by Brandi Carlile for her album, ''The Story'', in 2007. The song was written by Tim Hanseroth and produced by Rodaith McDonald. It was one of two bonus tracks released for the UK Limited Edition of the album, the other being "If It Hadn't Been For Love", which was a cover of a song originally recorded by a band called the Steeldrivers. Adele has stated the reason for her covering it is the fact that she relates to it so well.
 
   
  +
Following Adele's collaboration with The Raconteurs, it almost resulted in future collaborations between Adele and the band's lead singer Jack White on Adele's sophomore album [[21]], however, Adele stated they never got around to finishing collaborations they had planned in 2009 following the [[Grammy Awards]].
"Hiding My Heart" is a song that is exactly 3 minutes and 28 seconds long. It was written in the key of C Major , according to MusicNotes. It was written by Tim Hanseroth and was originally performed by Brandi Carlile as a hidden track on her album ''The Story'' in 2007. Following this, Adele performed a cover of it and included it on some European extended editions of her album ''21''. Prior to Adele covering the song, she said in an interview that the song made her very emotional. She added that one of her friends exposed her to the song, and "It's so cheesy but I'm really relating to that song at the moment." She said that the song "really makes me cry".

Her style spanned a variety of music genres including blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, gospel and jazz. Starting her career in 1954, she gained fame with hits such as "Roll With Me, Henry", "At Last", "Tell Mama", "Something's Got a Hold on Me", and "I'd Rather Go Blind" for which she wrote the lyrics.

|content='''Angelo James Konecki''' is the offspring of [[Adele]] and [[Simon Konecki]]. His name [[File:Adele_and_Angelo.png|150px|right|link=]]was supposedly confirmed to be Angelo after Adele was spotted wearing a necklace bearing the name; several sources also claimed that they had heard that was the child's name, although they had no clue of the name's significance. On October 20th, 2012, it was reported that Adele had given birth to a baby boy the previous week, although her spokesperson would not comment on whether it was true or not. More reports stated that they had received the same information and that the baby had been born on Friday, October 19, 2012 somewhere in the UK. When Adele made her comeback to the public at the [[Golden Globe Awards]] in 2013, she confirmed her son's birth as well as stating her plans to keep the child's name private for the time being, due to it being "personal" for her. A few days later, however, she did confirm that she has affectionately given him the nickname '''"Little Peanut"'''. (That same day, reports started going around claiming that his name was Angelo.) After winning the award for Best Original Song at the Awards the same night, Adele thanked her three-month-old son.
 
  +
James is regarded as having bridged the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and is the winner of six [[Grammy Awards|Grammys]] and 17 Blues Music Awards. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall of Fame in both 1999 and 2008. ''Rolling Stone'' ranked James number 22 on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number 62 on the list of the 100 Greatest Artists.
Angelo is said to be the inspiration for the majority of Adele's [[third studio album]]. He will celebrate his first birthday on October 19, 2013.

AboutAdele
ADELE
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988), better known simply as Adele, is an English singer-songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. Adele was offered a recording contract from XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on MySpace in 2006. The next year she received the Brit Awards' "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to much commercial and critical success. It certified four times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US. Her career in the US was boosted by a Saturday Night Live appearance in late 2008. At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Adele released her second album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically and surpassed the success of her debut, earning the singer six Grammy Awards in 2012 including Album of the Year, equalling the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night. The album has also led to her receiving numerous other awards, including two Brit Awards and three American Music Awards. The album has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK; in the US the album has held the top position longer than any other album since 1985, and is certified Diamond. As of right now, it is the fourth best-selling album of all-time in the UK. According to IFPI, the album has sold over 26 million copies worldwide.

AdeleMTV

The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness World Records. She is the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK. With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", she became the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top-five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964. With her third release from the album, "Set Fire to the Rain", which became her third number one single in the US, Adele became the first artist in history to lead the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Billboard Hot 100 number-ones. Two more less successful singles from 21 were released: "Rumour Has It" (which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100) and "Turning Tables" (which peaked at number 63 on the Hot 100 due to not being released as an official single in the US like it was in the majority of Europe).

Adele is the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist, and the first female artist to have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. 21 is the longest running number one album by a female solo artist on the UK and US Albums Chart. In 2011 and 2012, Billboard named Adele Artist of the Year. In 2012, Adele was listed at number five on VH1′s 100 Greatest Women In Music, and the American magazine Time named Adele one of the most influential people in the world. In 2012, Adele announced via her official website that she and her partner Simon were expecting a child, and on October 19, 2012, Adele gave birth to their son, Angelo. In 2013, she received an Oscar as well as the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for her song "Skyfall", written for the twenty-third James Bond film of the same name.

In spring of 2013, Adele was rumored to have entered back into the studio with past collaborator Paul Epworth and producers Kid Harpoon and James Ford to begin work on her third studio album. She reportedly has four songs finished and will continue to work on it in London before flying to Los Angeles to finish recording the album, with plans to release the album by mid-2014. Adele confirmed via Twitter that the album would be titled 25 and would be released later on in 2014.
