BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ Adele - 30

Posted by: burbe 21st August 2017, 08:37 PM

I know it's probably up to 2 years away but with the 25 era officially over (cry.gif) let's get the ball rolling with discussing Dame Adele's next world saving collection!



What do we expect from her? ohmy.gif I'd really like her to expand out the sound she had going with River Lea and I Miss You out more - easily two of the best songs. Could we even get a HAPPY album?!?! Sweetest Devotion was fab and I think with some more polished instrumentals a happy album could actually work for her. Maybe she will come back and shock everyone with a happy banger? Hopefully there will be less pressure on her this time, now she's proved 21 wasn't just a fluke success for her.

In terms of date PLEASE before 2019 but I can't see it happening sad.gif I reckon she'll go for a February release date in 2019 like her first two albums, but I hope for Autumn 2018.

Adele is coming with an album influenced by Kelis's 'Food'

Posted by: Saenerys 21st August 2017, 08:49 PM

Ahhh the finale was spectacular, cancellation of the final two dates aside. That taxi :pic:

As I mentioned in the Pink forum, I'd love Adele to go into songwriting for other artists until the release of her next album. I loved her work wit Sia and Tobias Jesso Jr on Alive and branching out with others for writing might lead to her discovering new producers like she did with 25. It's unrealistic but I can hope laugh.gif I would love a Q4 release as she's more than capable of dominating (kink.gif) and ensuring first week sales. Rant aside something in the lines of Water Under The Bridge would be fab - I think an upbeat lead would really surprise people! #SelfTitledAlbumPlease

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 21st August 2017, 08:54 PM

Sweetest Devotion is AMAZING

An album like that would be wub.gif

Ikr. Looking back I feel so lucky to have been her last show, albeit unplanned. I was just re-watching some videos I took and it was just so perfect cry.gif

That ikonek taxi shot makes her look like the Spices.

Posted by: cqmerqn 21st August 2017, 09:42 PM

Think 25 will be her last album. Just can't see another one coming.

If she is releasing... then I doubt she's started writing it yet. I just hope we get another Hello type song with the album getting a Q4 release. Although saying that she may get a bit lost if she released Q4..

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 21st August 2017, 10:05 PM

Adele.

Lost.

In Q4.

Adele.

Adele.

Lol.

Lol.

Her last album when she has specifically stated she will release more lmaooo.

Damn it, thought there was a proper annoucement or even a surprise Xmas album when I saw this thread laugh.gif

Speaking of which, I would love it Adele did a Christmas album for next year. It wouldn't be too difficult to record - of course she would want a bunch of originals, but a decent amount of the songs would likely be covers. It'd be a great way to keep her name out + voice out there every year whilst taking a long while to record her studio albums. Plus I'd just love to see the jawdropping sales it'd have and to finally knock Bublé off his Christmas throne!

I've only just seen this! I feel so privileged to have been able to see her twice, but the finale was just something else! I find myself looking back at my old videos as well, it's a tad addictive!



Rewatching this interview and shes stated she wants to work with Danger Mouse (River Lea) and Tobias Jesso Jr (When We Were Young) whenever she decides to record next. Without a doubt I don't see her NOT working with Ryan Tedder and Paul Epworth again either so some familiar faces in the mix I hope!

Posted by: THEO. 29th October 2017, 10:52 AM

Not related to new music (sorry!) but I am absolutely screaming at Adele's Halloween outfit that she posted on her Instagram!! I actually thought she was a Drag Queen until I saw her username attached 😬😂




Posted by: Steve201 31st October 2017, 11:59 PM

We won't get new music from her until Autumn 2020 I think!

Posted by: cqmerqn 5th November 2017, 01:49 PM

New music coming very soon!!!

......October 2019

Posted by: burbe 5th November 2017, 05:45 PM

I'm hopeful of February 2019 or sooner. I don't think Sony will be happy signing her for £90m and then having to wait so long for an album laugh.gif

Posted by: SGrey 5th November 2017, 05:50 PM

I think after 25 she will be pushed for Q4 releases. Interesting point about Sony though, they’ll definitely be more pushy than XL.

Posted by: cqmerqn 5th November 2017, 07:23 PM

She would definitely release the next album in Q4 for those huge opening sales.

Wonder if the next album will be bigger than 25.

Posted by: SGrey 5th November 2017, 07:26 PM

I’ll guess it will be bigger than 19 for certain.

Posted by: cqmerqn 5th November 2017, 07:32 PM

Hope it does well

Posted by: Steve201 5th November 2017, 09:16 PM

Can't imagine it being bigger but you never know!

Posted by: Spiceboy 5th November 2017, 10:01 PM

If she achieves another 20 million selling album I am going to be so impressed! She is surely guaranteed to have a hit album but whether it will be a colossal album like the last two who knows.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2017, 06:41 PM

This thread is about 3 years premature laugh.gif Have to hand it to her though - she always waits the right amount of time between albums and keeps herself out of the limelight in between so there is always a bigger demand when she does return.

Posted by: cqmerqn 12th November 2017, 08:34 PM

Is she releasing Fastlove then?

Posted by: SGrey 12th November 2017, 09:32 PM

Rumours on twitter since early October claiming a December release.

Posted by: burbe 12th November 2017, 09:37 PM

?! about 9 months late if true

QUOTE(burbe @ Nov 12 2017, 09:37 PM) *

This, unfortunately. It would have been a huge smash if she'd released it straight after the performance but I understand why she didn't as it would have felt like she was capitalising on George's death. I do think they should have put it out sooner than December though, it's a gorgeous cover and there's literally no way to find a good quality version of the performance on Youtube sad.gif

Posted by: SGrey 12th November 2017, 09:46 PM

Think it’ll be similar to Gerri and her George track, more of a commemorative piece than a commercial piece.

Posted by: burbe 12th November 2017, 09:49 PM

omg okay I just saw the studio snippet on twitter and already slayed. The full version better be released!

Posted by: Mistletheo 14th December 2017, 04:52 PM

Fresh rumours of an imminent "Fastlove" release are circulating as Adele's odds of being Christmas #1 have shortened. The Daily Express have written an "exclusive" article and 'Freedom' (the George Michael documentary that the studio version was recorded for) is due to be repeated on Christmas Day. Very excited to hear the full version, thank God that Kevin didn't win X Factor to ruin her chances!

Posted by: burbe 14th December 2017, 08:10 PM

I heard it wasn't coming now laugh.gif I guess we'll find out in a few hours! Adele to be our Christmas miracle and save the charts pls

I know it's The Sun but they're speculating a Grenfell tribute too! Queen of rumoured releases which never materialise *_*

23 being Album 3 was my favourite of fake rumours laugh.gif

Posted by: Candlelit Snow 14th December 2017, 08:31 PM

So is it true???

Posted by: Liаm 14th December 2017, 08:35 PM

For the bookies to slash it that much they must know some inside info? Especially by tht much, the rumours might have shortened the odds a bit but that's huge!

I'm excited if true, another number 1 for her and on Christmas too!

Posted by: Candlelit Snow 14th December 2017, 08:49 PM

She would SO deserve it, especially over Ed bloody Sheeran, and ao would the Grenfell families - and to do it with a George Michael song!!! Wow.

The Sun is trash, but second to none on celeb inside info...

Posted by: Jordan Lee 14th October 2018, 11:01 AM

Things have been very quiet from her lately. Could she drop an album on us next month? I personally think it’s coming next year but it’s already almost three years since 25.

laugh.gif I used to work in a bookies they have no inside information at all. Also after 8 years of working in a bookies not once did I take a christmas #1 or winner of xfactor/strictly etc bet ever! People don't bet on those things.

Posted by: The Feline Lorde 14th October 2018, 11:42 AM

It's definitely going to be 2019

Posted by: Pinhead 14th October 2018, 11:55 AM

And the album title will be 29 biggrin.gif if the release date is for next year

Posted by: Crazy Chris 14th October 2018, 05:35 PM

Could it beat the opening week sales of 25 here in the UK? I wouldn't bet against it. The hype will be so big.

Posted by: Scene 14th October 2018, 05:49 PM

I think 2019 is a little too early if we are to go by the gap between 21 and 25. Her team might schedule the album release around the 2020 BRIT's/Grammy's rather than chase the pre-Christmas sales. It'll sell big regardless.

Posted by: SGrey 14th October 2018, 05:53 PM

She pens the title of age based on album writing time; in this case rumours seriously flew around this year so if it were to be after her age (which she has denied a few times) then it would be 30.

Posted by: 🎃 Cqmerqn 🎃 14th October 2018, 05:57 PM

I just can't see her releasing anything until 2020 at least.

Posted by: ¡Michael Myers! 14th October 2018, 05:59 PM

Don't care about the sales. She has more than proved herself on that. She has also proved herself as the best singer of the generation. Loads tried and failed to copy and ended up screeching laugh.gif Hope the album is AMAZING full of Sweetest Devotion moments

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th October 2018, 06:17 PM

I really cant see anything comes from Adele before 2020 either.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 14th October 2018, 06:54 PM

Did she not say during her Carpool Karaoke appearance that 25 would be her last album named after her age?

Posted by: ¡Michael Myers! 14th October 2018, 06:58 PM

She did

It will be called something else

Posted by: SGrey 14th October 2018, 07:47 PM

She did but unless something massively poignant happens I can see her backtracking imo.

There was a post on Twitter that said as she has claimed to believe in trilogies that the next three albums will be Adele, Laurie-Blue and Adkins rotf.gif

Her comeback needs to be as equally iconic and well executed as "Hello"...looking back that was SO well done and particularly compared to how her eras are usually handled.

Posted by: PAJ88 14th October 2018, 10:19 PM

100%, I was SO shook at the random advert teaser during X Factor when we hadn't heard anything *.*

Posted by: Jordan Lee 5th March 2019, 01:15 AM

Im really intrigued as to what sound she will follow on this album. Of her albums for me 25 is her strongest but I do enjoy her first two but 25 just feels so strong for me. What I love of all her albums though is they’re all relatively short in length but they’re no skippable songs on any of her albums quality over quantity.

I do feel this album we may possibly have a featured artist on there though I don’t know what’s making me think this but I feel we may get one this time around.

Posted by: Bjork 5th March 2019, 02:26 PM

For me 25 is her worst and a big drop in quality, especially the lyrics
I actually only like 1 song, All I Ask
Seems to me 25 didnt come from the guts like 21
you can see it in the lyrics
It was like autopilot Adele

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 5th March 2019, 02:31 PM

I feel like Adele's lyrics have always been simplistic tbh.

But she's great at conveying the emotion with simplicity. I think that's probably her appeal.

Because while she was there she said that she's working on it.

Posted by: SGrey 4th April 2019, 04:45 AM

Fans on Twitter are drawing comparisons to 2015 where she walked around with her laptop which she has been doing recently which is straw clutching but would make sense if she has said she is working on new material.

I really hope she’s got a good theme or concept for this album though.

Posted by: Bjork 4th April 2019, 10:22 AM

I would have said yes from the post alone but the fact she's changed her profile picture too. I know fans of big pop girls obsess over these minor details (Taylor, Gaga etc) but I'm sure it's still significant for Adele

Posted by: jakewild 4th April 2019, 11:59 AM

i can't believe that this nov will be 4 years since 25! i remember listening to hello for the first time like it was yesterday. her naming her albums after her age always makes me realise what i was doing when it was released cos i'm always the same age.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 20th April 2019, 01:18 AM

She’s split from her husband now.

So I guess there may be a change in sound of this album now due to this.

Or she may have split at the start of recording and only announced it now.

However I do feel this will influence the sound.

Posted by: tommie 20th April 2019, 07:57 AM

Her comeback single is expected to be released in November. She has been working with Mark Ronson, Ryan Tedder, Paul Epworth and Jim Abbiss.



QUOTE
Adele has been hard at work on the fourth album for several months, and has sent round an as-yet untitled track to record company bosses which is expected to be her comeback single. A music industry insider said: "The song is upbeat and is all about Adele's relationship with her ex-husband Simon. But it's optimistic, reflective of the good times and about learning to move on from them and make new memories by yourself. It has been cathartic for her to put her feelings into her music. Fans can expect to hear personal details on her album. All being well, the song should be out in November but she is still working on everything."
QUOTE
Adele returned to some familiar songwriters and producers to make her new album. She has been working with Mark Ronson and OneRepublic's frontman Ryan Tedder, who have helped make a handful of her tracks in the past. She has also been back in the studio with well-regarded producers Paul Epworth, who worked on her last two albums, and Jim Abbiss , who had imput on her first two records.

really? so soon? we should have the single by now if true

I was thinking late November to coincide with Black Friday

Posted by: Jordan Lee 11th October 2019, 03:15 PM

I think the 22nd or 29th feels more likely.

I wonder if we’ll get another advert out of the blue style though during X Factor or some other big show.

On the topic of what’s her best / worst albums I think each album has got better.

25 is my favourite.

Wasn’t there also rumours that the lead single is uptempo?

Posted by: Frenchie 11th October 2019, 03:17 PM

Only four weeks away! Surely that would mean the lead single could be released as soon as next week if this is true. I guess it's possible as 'Hello' was first teased on October 18th and was released the 24th, then the album 4 weeks later, but just seems crazy that it could be so soon!

Posted by: Bjork 11th October 2019, 06:19 PM

for me 25 is my least favourite, barely like 1-2 songs, so hope it's a return to 21, with songs coming from there guts, unlike the ones in 25, which lack something

Posted by: Common Sense 11th October 2019, 09:00 PM

Adele albums ranked for me: 21 > 25 > 19

Posted by: slowdown73 11th October 2019, 10:26 PM

25 is my favourite album by far.

Posted by: Botchia 11th October 2019, 10:33 PM

It does feel like we're in that stage where Adele could drop a teaser or even the single at any moment!!

Exactly, it's a solid album and I'd say it even showed evolution from 21. 'Water Under The Bridge' as well is a gorgeous, heartfelt song.

Nicki Minaj and Adele have teamed-up on a collaboration, Entertainment Tonight exclusively reports.

"But Adele made me swear to secrecy that I'm not allowed to tell anyone that I'm working with her. And that we already shot a video. And it's an epic song!“ - Nicki Minaj

I'll believe it when I see it, but also don't really want it. I don't think the two of them together on a song would work.

I'm kinda surprised Adele doesn't have her own artist forum on here.

she used to but it became very inactive as she takes long breaks between albums and doesn’t do a lot of promo/social media between eras.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 16th October 2019, 10:54 AM

I think the collab sounds more like Adele is gonna be a feature on a Nicki track

When it comes to Adele’s album I don’t think we’re gonna get a lead single being a collab

I’m a bit gutted that of all the people to work with though she chose Nicki!

Speaking of Adele, she has got some new relevance recently with ha song being used for this vid:



It's Make You Feel getting incidental promo just before she returned to remind everyone of her all over again!!

She should say all this to Ed Sheeran tbh. Very jealous!

I genuinely believe Adele is the one artist where it won't matter what period she releases, right now. Aha. It's crazy. Ofc I'm sure we're all expecting a dip in opening week sales etc.. Even if it was Q1 or 2, I feel like she'd get such a huge opening and just have ridiculous longevity to grab herself another 3m+ selling album in total.

actually it's the opposite, in the past all best sellers were always limited to Q4 (ie Westlife)
now with 21 and Ed and Ezra things have changed completely and any time of the year fits

Posted by: Dexton 19th October 2019, 06:21 AM

I reckon for bigger artists it makes more sense to release in Q1/Q2 tbh, they get huge sales early on in the year then a huge Christmas boost just as their sales are beginning to slow. Whereas smaller artists or “only buy as a present” artists benefit a lot more during Q4.

Posted by: Bjork 19th October 2019, 01:46 PM

true, people like Alfie Boe I'm sure he's always released in November biggrin.gif or Westlife

Posted by: Jordan Lee 19th October 2019, 02:07 PM

Yeah!!

Adele is someone who’d do really well whenever released.

Ed’s never had a Q4 release either has he and he’s the only person this decade who I can match to being on Adele’s level for album sales.

I do think her team would try and push for a pre Christmas release though.

I hope so! I’ve really missed her and I’ve been listening to 25 a LOT lately!

For me so far all of her albums have gotten better so hoping this follows that trend. Plus with what happened in her personal life too I’m guessing that would provide plenty scope of material.

Posted by: Steve201 16th February 2020, 09:26 PM

September sounds pretty spot on with what to expect, means the album has time to sell through the build up to Xmas with 2-3 singles.

Yes as Medellin says expect a single in July then. Adele is t one for releasing 5 singles pre album!

Sure, looks aren't the be all and end all, but let's not pretend they're not a significant part of a person. I don't see what's wrong with saying how great she looks or applauding her for the hard work and dedication she's put into losing weight.

She does look gorgeous and seems so happy with life right now, it makes me happy for her.

At a guess - they view the live touring bit as a huge part of Adele's act and likely won't be releasing anything until they're sure she can tour (even if I'm sure she'd still sell tonnes without a tour).

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 2nd July 2020, 06:44 PM

She would sell loads without the tour but im sure they are holding off to get the maximum from the new album whenever it comes but i think that will be next year, i cant see anything coming this year.

That's correct and I think it's based because of this.



Either way, if she's hosting SNL, I guess Adele is going to take this opportunity to re-introduce herself, so let's see if something is announced in the following weeks.

Posted by: jlj 18th October 2020, 08:29 PM

October 30 seems possible for a single release but not an album!

I’d say the album must be almost ready to go and the recording should be done though. She’s very smart Adele she’d surely have something setup to go and she’s just waiting for the best way of announcing it.

I’m thinking either a November 20 or November 27 release date for the album.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 18th October 2020, 08:38 PM

If an album is coming next month, it should be November 27. There's no way that she will drop the album the same week as BTS because Columbia is handling the promotion of both of them.

Posted by: jlj 18th October 2020, 08:42 PM

In that case it would be wise for BTS to go first as Adele would sell like crazy in her initial weeks.

Her week two sales will still probably be way more than what everyone else this year has done in week one (bar maybe Taylor in the US). So BTS should still get the #1 if they release that week and Adele goes the week after.

Posted by: Chemistry 19th October 2020, 11:44 AM

Very excited to see her hosting, she is one of the funniest singers out there, so I am sure it will be a blast (although it will be a challenge for her not to swear!).

And I am sure something music related will come soon as well, Adele always disappears between albums and it would be very unlike her to do SNL out of the blue, with nothing music related to be released anytime soon. Just hope she won't go for November 5.

Posted by: dannjohn 20th October 2020, 08:27 AM

Posted by: Voodoo 25th October 2020, 05:55 PM

There's no way the album is not finished yet. She is probably sitting on it in the hope that the pandemic will be over soon, so she can tour stadiums.

There's a lot of money on the table to be made from this album, hundreds of millions of dollars from ticket & album sales. This album will also be her first for Columbia & Sony. They need to make sure everything is ready for her official return. Heads will roll if mistakes in the campaign happen.

She could release the album as stream version this Q4, then release CD in January-February, and announce the tour together seeing the atmosphere around COVID next year.
Otherwise I can't understand this one-off performance at SNL. Everybody remembers Adele. There is no special need to give this appearance just to remind people that she is still here.

Anyway, we will see smile.gif

Posted by: Count Olaf 26th October 2020, 08:04 AM

Is she not allowed to do something just because she wants to do something for fun? She’s never done this type of thing before so it’s a new challenge and she probably wanted to focus on it outside of an intensive promo schedule. Not everything is about promo!!

There’s no way an artist like Adele does a split release schedule either given she’s one of the last remaining artists who can sell tonnes of physical copies.

Thinking it’s probably more than likely she will as streaming counts for way more than it did back in 2015. But really intrigued at how her single does in pure sales as I think it could be the biggest selling non charity release for a while.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd September 2021, 01:48 PM

IF Adele releases i want it to be a seperate week to ABBA, Ed Sheeran etc, let all the big releases get their week/s at number 1 as the albums market needs a good sales boost and Abba, Adele and Ed Sheeran are 3 releases that can do that. I miss the days of big album sales or weeks when albums consistently sold 100k plus.

Hello was originally the only song available on streaming until each single 'release' so WWWY was only added in around Jan or Feb time(?) when it was officially a single. IIRC 25 itself was added to streaming services around the time she did Glastonbury and Send My Love's single campaign was in full push mode.

Well he may have known ABBA was coming and worked around that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in contact with Adele casually anyway they certainly have been in the past, not surprising giving their the two biggest solo British artists of the last decade.

19 is the only album she's released which corresponded with what her age was at the time of its release.

Adele's date of birth: 5 May 1988

28 Jan 2008 - '19' - Adele's age: 19
24 Jan 2011 - '21' - Adele's age: 22
20 Nov 2015 - '25' - Adele's age: 27

When she released 25 she said that the album's lyrics are a reflection of the frame of mind she was in during that age. So if her next album is called 30, presumably it'll be for the same reason.

Surely she's not releasing a single this Friday? I would've thought her team would put out an official teaser or something to start the deluge of hype similar to the week before "Hello" was released.

I agree. If something comes out this Friday, I assume it should be a teaser or the annoucement of the single.

The ABBA album already has over 80k pre-orders in the UK and broke the pre-order record. laugh.gif It'll do big numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if the album ended up selling 500k+ by the end of the year.

Well tbf I don't even follow the charts to know that Abba scraped the top 10 a couple of times! But it can't be that hard with streaming. Look at some of the dross top 10! 80k pre-orders? Well, ok, Abba fans are old. They probably think they have to pre-order in case there is a shortage of Abba cds next after the fuel and supermarket crises. Thry will do around 100k, which is ok for a week, but Godele will show them who's boss.

Yes everyone knows Adele, as well as Ed, will sell more, both first week and altogether as they're currently the two biggest acts. A bit like Abba in 1976 to 1979. I bet you Abba does 200k+ first week though. Some industry insiders are thinking 250k+. It's going to be a big first week for them and sell well up to Christmas. The question is whether Ed will beat them in his second week.

Agreed. I have a feeling she will kinda flop. Cheesy Ed, with his 12 track slices of cheddar, has been constantly pumping out crap, and has kept on top of the pile. Unfortunately, that atrocious warbler is now bigger than Adele.

And yes - you can hear the chords are weaker and more upbeat than before. I am not confident. It is no Hello.

It seems the 30 campaign mimics the 25 campaign. Same collaborators, similar teasing & buildup, black & white music video, ballad as a first single... coffee.gif

Easy On Me Snippet

Sounds lovely, I can't wait for this

Posted by: Sean. 9th October 2021, 08:30 PM

Not feeling it at all, if a boyband and or some female singers previews that you would all be slating it. Really hope for more but sounds very middle of the road average ballad. I will try to reserve any more judgement till Friday.

Posted by: Envoirment 9th October 2021, 10:23 PM

Love the snippet. I bet it's going to build beautifully into a massive chorus. *_*

A boyband couldn't pull off that in quite the same way, and BuzzJack loves female singers typically so I don't quite get your point there.

It's typical Adele so far admittedly, but she's baring her emotions which is why she appeals. I really felt the way she sung "drowning"

I am hoping for something outlandish and not typically Adele on the album though.

The snippet sounds very promising already.

But isn’t middle of the road kind of Adele’s thing? She does it well but it’s the reason her music reaches so many people.

Posted by: Bjork 10th October 2021, 07:30 AM

I disagree, I think she reaches so many people cos her songs come from the guts and touches people

by comparison Ed Sheeran's music is like hospital food

But that’s what I mean by doing it well. At the end of the day, she has never reinvented the wheel with her music and people use the term MOR to shade music when actually it just makes the music more universal.

YES!!!! THAT IS IT!!! His stale, shite, pasteurised "songs" are run through thr commercial think tanks agaaain and agaaian. It can't even be called music at this point, just processed, mass-produced junk sound.

It really is just the musical equivalent of hospital food!

Posted by: 30 Spells Flirty 10th October 2021, 09:57 AM

Anyway, I sas right. The song sounds ABYSMAL. The chords aren't strong like Hello, and the lyrics are whack. ANYTHING from 25 is better and stronger than it ... and if that is the song they chose to open the album campaign with, then eek, unless it is another Gypsy/ Applause situation...

Exactly that!

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th October 2021, 11:25 AM

Surely Ed's music touches many people as well? Certainly his ballads...

Posted by: T Boy 10th October 2021, 11:38 AM

All artists touch people with their music. Just not always the same ones. I would just argue that the reason Adele and Ed get such big sales is because they know what people want from them, rather than being particularly experimental.

Certainly, there's one of his ballads which reminds me of my grandfathers battle with dementia, makes me cry every time I hear it.

The same could be said of Pink tbf.

I don't think Adele writes for others, her music is very expressive of herself and very personal. I'd argue that Ed's earlier music is also.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 10th October 2021, 12:22 PM

I'm not even Ed's biggest fan but he has got some incredible songs especially some ballads.

You are right about Pink, or course, but I find it odd that you bring her up at this point of the dicussion.

Adele’s music certainly is personal but her style isn’t. And personal doesn’t mean unique either, she has a very universal sound.

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 10th October 2021, 01:48 PM

Sounds like it's gonna be more of the same. But meh... if it ain't broke...

Posted by: Botchia 10th October 2021, 05:58 PM

It sounds very safe! I hope it builds to a big chorus at least like "Hello" did (and that there will be some more experimental songs on the album).

Posted by: Voodoo 10th October 2021, 06:34 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the chorus already featured in the snippet that Adele has shared? thinking.gif

Only a tiny bit. It's the first verse/pre-chorus and then she cuts it off as she starts to sing the chorus from what I can tell.

Posted by: 30 Spells Flirty 10th October 2021, 08:32 PM

And the chorus sounds as flat as a pancake and the chords weak as non-cholesterol mayonnaise :')

That song is the most emotional song I have heard, so so sad! Afire love! The hate for this man when he can write songs like that is odd.

Back to Adele, surely this song can’t be as bad as that preview makes it sound. Label wouldn’t have it! Hopefully we will be surprised.

Well Ed Sheeran does great with trash songs ans hospital food music, so maybe they are hoping that the same will happen with het? Remember, the label actively pushed Lady GaGa to release Applause, for Katy Perry to release Chained to the Rhythm and Rise, and Vixtoria Beckham to release Not Such An Innocent Girl laugh.gif Labels are often clueless.

Posted by: Sean. 10th October 2021, 09:34 PM

True about labels 😂 does make you wonder who makes some of the decisions. To be fair, I didn’t mind ‘Chained to the rhythm’.

Some label heads clearly should have known better. 'Whale, Whale, Whale' destroyed Duffy's career whereas 'Don't Believe in Love' destroyed Dido's. cry.gif

Posted by: dannjohn 11th October 2021, 10:21 AM

the good thing about Ed is at least he has changed up his sound... another piano ballad from Adele seems too safe at this point. They know she's going to sell, why not try something else as the lead single?

I doubt 25 would have as HUGE had she released Send My Love as its first single. Clearly, bops are not what the general public wants or expects from her. coffee.gif

Posted by: dannjohn 11th October 2021, 01:31 PM

'25' sure... as it was the follow-up to '21' and a way to gage if '21's success was a fluke or not.

Global release of "Easy On Me" this Friday at midnight UK time.
