Producer talks Adele, new Chili Peppers project
NEW YORK (AP) — So far, Adele’s 21 is the best-selling album of the year, with a little over 2.5 million copies sold. Rick Rubin, who produced several tracks on the album, says while he had no idea the album would connect with so many people, he understands why it has.
“She doesn’t carry any of the baggage of many of today’s pop stars, and it truly is about the music first, and her voice and her lyrics, and baring her soul with what she’s saying,” he said in an interview recently.
Rubin describes the Chili Peppers’ album “I’m With You,” due out Aug. 30, as unlike anything the band has ever done - but unmistakably Peppers music.
“I think it’s the first time in their career that they’d ever taken off that big of a chunk of time, and they’ve been a band for 28 years now,” he said.
