It would be hard to find someone who hasn't listened (and cried) to Adele's music when they're going through a split, but it turns out that the certified queen of breakup tunes (aside from, like, Kelly Clarkson) doesn't blast her own work when she's grieving the end of a relationship. As she explained to People, she does "mope around for a little while," adding, "I do embrace the fact that I'm heartbroken. I don't move on quickly. I don't know if that's because it seems that I'm only really creative when I'm a bit momentarily depressed." During this routine, she listens to emotional tunes from Etta James and Bonnie Raitt, as well as fellow Brits Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machine, and David Gray.
