"I was like, 'Who did this?' I knew it was Taylor, and I've always loved her, but this is a totally other side - like, 'I want to know who brought that out in her.' And he said (Swedish music producer) Max Martin.
"I was unaware that I knew who Max Martin was. I Googled him, and I was like, 'He's literally written every massive soundtrack of my life'," Adele said.
Praising her collaborator she said, she can hang out with him forever.
Marking Adele's first full-length effort in four years, "25" was released last Friday. It has broken multiple sales records in both the US and the UK.
