Which song by The Cure did Adele cover on '21'?

Which song by The Cure did Adele cover on '21'? Adele covered “Lovesong,” The Cure’s 1989 classic, on her second studio album, '21'. The track appears among the album’s cover versions and is credited as a song by Robert Smith and his band.

Adele’s rendition preserves the song’s romantic core but recasts it as a slower, fuller soul-pop performance. The recording was produced by Rick Rubin, whose production approach on '21' often emphasized spacious arrangements and the emotional force of Adele’s voice.

The original “Lovesong” was released by The Cure in 1989 on the album 'Disintegration'. It became one of the band’s best-known songs and reached the United States top 10, making it a particularly recognizable choice for Adele to reinterpret.

Listeners sometimes confuse this cover with other famous Cure songs, including “Pictures of You,” “Just Like Heaven,” and “Friday I'm in Love.” Those songs are not the Cure cover on '21'. Adele’s album also includes covers associated with The SteelDrivers, Brandi Carlile, and Lady A.
