Dan Wilson Preps Solo Album, Praises 'Visionary' Adele -- Exclusive Video

Minneapolis-bred songwriter Dan Wilson has been rocking the airwaves for years with bands like Semisonic, Trip Shakespeare and the Love Monsters.

The 49-year-old rocker has also penned songs for Josh Groban, the Dixie Chicks and even co-wrote three tunes on Adele's new blockbuster, '21,' including the chart-topping 'Someone Like You.' During a recent chat with Spinner, Wilson revealed what working with the young British singer was like.

"We did three songs on her new album," he said. "She is a very visionary artist. She knows exactly what she wants. She's doesn't mess around. She's really funny and a good hang, but she knows exactly what she wants to do."
