10 Best Revenge Songs
6. Adele - "Rolling In The Deep" (2010)
There are few solo singers out there who are so consistently talented, however Adele is certainly one of those people. When Adele produces a song all about being betrayed by a former lover, you know it's going to do well, and carry a huge amount of emotional heft. "Rolling in the Deep" is about as vengeful as Adele can get.
Adele's performance in the song is utterly captivating, shifting from relatively comfortable and collected in the verses to this sweeping, completely iconic chorus that countless people have tried to emulate at this point. This is a powerhouse song that showcases so much of Adele's vocal range; it's less pop or ballad, but bluesy and almost gospel in tone.
It's no wonder that "Rolling in the Deep" was the song that really cemented international success for Adele. There's no surprise as to why the single regularly appeared at the top of Best Single of the Year lists across the music industry, and even less surprise to learn that "Rolling in the Deep" netted Adele Song of the Year at the 2012 Grammy awards.
