The video for “Someone Like You,”the second single from Adele’s feverishly successful sophomore album 21 , will premiere this Thursday evening on MTV and online at Vevo.com at 7:56pm EDT. This minimal and graceful clip, directed byJake Nava (Beyonce, Kanye West), was shot entirely on location in Paris during the very early morning hours. “The location evokes style and romance,” Nava explains, “and shooting early in the morning allows you to focus on Adele in this lonely and emotional space.” “Someone Like You” has already been certified platinum for sales in excess of one million downloads. Adele’s 21 is the biggest selling album of 2011 with over 10 million units sold worldwide. 21 has remained in the top 3 of Billboard’s Top Album charts for 30 weeks since its release on February 22nd.
