Adele appeared on an alternate version of The Raconteurs’ single “Many Shades of Black.” The original version of the song was included on their album Consolers of the Lonely, while the version featuring Adele’s vocals was released on the deluxe edition of her debut album, 19.

According to Adele, Jack White was almost one of the producers on her sophomore album, 21:
| “ | We were doing a lot of collaborations after ‘Many Shades of Black.’ We were going to get together in Detroit after the 2009 Grammys and finish some tracks and then it never happened. It’ll happen at some point. I definitely want to follow it up.[1] | ” |
