Adele’s Co-Writer Can Finally Talk About Her

NEW YORK (AP) — Imagine what it’s like to write a song with Adele and you can’t tell anyone for close to a year. Songwriter Greg Kurstin says he wanted to run around on the streets and shout to random strangers that he had written “Hello” with Adele. The song was released Friday and went to number one on the iTunes singles chart in 85 countries. “Hello” almost was a dud. Kurstin says Adele and he had written the verse, but their time together ran out and he went home with half a song. He says they managed to get back together a few months later and they finally finished it.
