"Cold Shoulder" is the third single from soul singer Adele released from her debut album 19. It was released digitally in Ireland on 30 March 2008 and in the UK on 31 March 2008. This is the only song on the album to be produced by Mark Ronson. Ex-Jamiroquai bassist Stuart Zender plays on the song who is also part of Mark Ronson's touring band. Adele performed the song on Friday Night with Jools Holland on 8 February 2008 and on Saturday Night Live during the October 18th, 2008 show. A remix by Basement Jaxx has also been receiving airplay and is digitally available.[1] The song's B-Side is "Now and Then", which was released as a bonus track from the Japanese deluxe edition of 19.

Adele explained to the Sun newspaper January 18, 2008 about this Mark Ronson collaboration:
| “ | It's about being cheated on. Wishing you were the other girl. I love the tune. I've loved Mark since his first album, Here Comes the Fuzz. But I didn't know he'd got into producing for other people. Then when Amy's (Winehouse) record and Lily Allen's Littlest Things came out, I remembered hearing about his covers album. I wrote my song 'Cold Shoulder' and my label XL were really keen to keep it how it was. But I thought it needed a beat because the album was lacking a real upbeat club tune. And I couldn't think of anyone else but Mark Ronson to do it. [3] | ” |
PromotionEdit
Adele performed this song, along with "Chasing Pavements", when she was the musical guest on the October 18, 2008 episode of Saturday Night Live. The show got a huge audience thanks to an appearance by the political candidate Sarah Palin, and for many Americans, it was their first look at the British singer. Adele began climbing the iTunes chart immediately following the show. [3]
Music videoEdit
The video was shot in February 2008 in London. It has begun gaining airplay on UK music channels, and features Adele singing in a darkened room amongst melting ice statues who all have looks of despair. The video ends with many of the statues melted and final shots of Adele interfade into those of the statues. [1]
Digital EPEdit
A digital EP featuring remixes of the track was released exclusively to iTunes UK on April 20, 2008; it is still currently sold there for £4.94. [4]
