InQuire more: Inspired by an interview that ran in the Guardian between two of my favorite artists, Adele and Tobias Jesso, Jr, a 30-year-old singer-songwriter from Vancouver whose debut album, Goon, was released just this March. Adele invited Jesso to co-write a song for her new album, ’25.’ Here’s the lovely back and forth in which Adele interviews Jesso Jr. on topics ranging from the fears that chase every artist, to dream collaborators and favorite books, to movies, and soundtracks. Listen to the track that initially caught Adele’s eye, Jesso’s piano-laden “Hollywood,” then listen to Adele perform the song they wrote together, the heart-wrenching “When We Were Young.”
