Billboard.com reports that Adele's songs are being reimagined as lullabies for the Rockabye Baby series.

Check out the "Rolling in the Deep" track below!

Set for an April 29 release, the 12-track Lullaby Renditions of Adele will feature hits such as "Hello," "Rolling in the Deep" and "Chasing Pavements," all of which have been reworked to have that lullaby feel.

The Rockabye Baby brand has converted the music of more than 70 artists to baby-friendly nighttime tunes, from the likes of U2, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, Rihanna and Taylor Swift. The series has sold upwards of 1.6 million units, according to a statement.

Adele is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. In 2007, she received the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008 poll. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to commercial and critical success.

Adele released her second studio album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically and surpassed the success of her debut, earning the singer numerous awards in 2012, including a record-tying six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year; two Brit Awards, including British Album of the Year, and three American Music Awards. The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness Book of World Records. She is the first woman in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three simultaneous top 10 singles as a lead artist, and the first female artist to simultaneously have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. In 2012, she released "Skyfall", which she wrote and recorded for the James Bond film of the same name. The song won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. After taking a three-year break, Adele released her third studio album, 25, in 2015. It became the year's best-selling album and broke first week sales records in the UK and US. The lead single, "Hello", became the first song in the US to sell over one million digital copies within a week of its release.
