Adele hinted at her concert in Glasgow that Send My Love is the third single from 25!




(thanks to ATRL for the pics)

Excellent choice I think, an uptempo was definitely needed after two ballads! If it turns out to not be the single, I can change the title

Posted by: SeanGrey 27th March 2016, 05:10 PM

I AM READY *.*

Posted by: burbe 27th March 2016, 05:16 PM

She needs to release an uptempo, and whilst I would prefer WUTB, this is a good choice too!

Let's hope a video actually gets filmed and released this time round

Posted by: Noahspike 27th March 2016, 05:16 PM

Always felt that this has the potential to get very irritating with the inevitable overexposure that comes with her single releases. A catchy song and solid single choice still though, and it's good to see a different side to her getting pushed.

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 27th March 2016, 05:17 PM

YES!!!

MY SECOND FAVE ON THE ALBUM AFTER HELLO!!

ALWAYS SAID SINCE XMAS IT WOULD BE A GREAT SINGLE,MUUUCH BETTER THAN WWWY WHICH IS NOT A CLASSIC AND ALREADY FORGOTTEN!!

Then Water Under The Bridge annd over.

Posted by: SeanGrey 27th March 2016, 05:20 PM

Because that's why it went top ten in the UK and the video that we do have has surpassed most of the vids from 19?

I thought Water Under The Bridge would get the single treatment next given it's airplay but still, this is fantastic!

Posted by: Umi 27th March 2016, 07:03 PM

Zzzz. She made no effort at all to push 'When We Were Young' and I don't even know what was going on with 'All I Ask'. Pretty sure she'll change her mind on making a video, perform it... once (?) and that's it. And unlike in 2011 I don't think that's enough for a hit.

Posted by: Joe. 27th March 2016, 07:08 PM

I find this the most irritating song on the album. I always skipped it and don't really want to hear it on the radio!

Posted by: River Lea 27th March 2016, 11:37 PM

I would have rather had Remedy or Water Under The Bridge, but I don't mind the song.

Posted by: Envoirment 27th March 2016, 11:59 PM

Love this, really hope she does film a video for it. I guess she'll film the video after her UK leg of the tour when she has 3-4 weeks off.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 28th March 2016, 04:20 AM

I love 'Send My Love'.

Posted by: Juliano 28th March 2016, 09:31 PM

YASSSSSS!!! She needs to be on a beach in the Caribbean sipping cocktails.

Posted by: Common Sense 28th March 2016, 11:29 PM

My fave song on 25!

Posted by: Envoirment 30th April 2016, 11:34 PM

Adele has confirmed she has filmed the music video and she's dancing in it!

THIS IS THE NEWS I NEEDED!!!

Posted by: Jake 1st May 2016, 05:06 AM

this is such a bop, when the album initially came out this didn't leave my head for days, as a summer single too at this stage of the album release schedule it is just perfect and also a new side to adele in quite a few ways...impressed!

Posted by: Jake 1st May 2016, 05:07 AM

question is tho

will sean paul feature on the single version?

Posted by: Jester 1st May 2016, 09:02 AM

Great choice. She's been dead on so far with single choices so far, Water Under The Bridge for 4th single though please (if she gets round to a fourth that is).

Posted by: River Lea 2nd May 2016, 01:58 AM

I can't wait to see it!

Posted by: SeanGrey 2nd May 2016, 05:50 AM

With the tour going on until November I think we could get another two singles after this - Water Under The Bridge for definite and maybe Million Years Ago, I feel that would resonate with people and it proved popular upon 25's release.

I cannot wait for the video for this, apparently it was filmed last Monday so could see it in the next week or so hopefully

Posted by: burbe 3rd May 2016, 07:35 PM

Ready for this to smash and annoy everyone with the excessive radio play

Posted by: Karma 4th May 2016, 12:59 PM

Imagine

Not sure this was the right single choice, prefer water under the bridge but hey ho it's nice enough and she needs a new single out, radio has butchered when we were young which i always thought was a good album track but not a single.

Posted by: pippa 4th May 2016, 01:20 PM

I disagree, i would regard when we were young one of Adele's finest singles.

Posted by: Karma 4th May 2016, 02:02 PM

Yeah my sister says the same, don't get me wrong I love it. I just wouldn't have chose it as a single myself.

Posted by: Contrules 4th May 2016, 03:42 PM

Best song on 25!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 4th May 2016, 11:40 PM

Was WWWY considered a single?

Posted by: SeanGrey 5th May 2016, 07:48 AM

It had artwork, several performances and peaked relatively well so of course.

Posted by: Joe. 5th May 2016, 07:51 AM

It was released on Spotify and sent to radio too. Why wouldn't it be a single?

Posted by: burbe 5th May 2016, 07:29 PM

Of course

Interesting on tour she said that she didn't want to film 'any old video' for WWWY because it's her favourite, which is why the video never happened. However, her doing this has meant her 'favourite' didn't do as well in the charts as it could have.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 7th May 2016, 12:34 PM

But when it came to promoting it as a single... she performed 'All I Ask'?

Posted by: Envoirment 11th May 2016, 11:22 PM

Adele said at the start of the album campaign that she wants to perform lots of different songs on TV. She still performed "When We Were Young" on a bunch of shows.

Also, the video for this is apparantley "about to drop" according to this:

http://daily.plaympe.com/adele-send-my-love-to-your-new-lover/

Emails have been sent out to Radio DJs about the song being the next single as well/to start playing it. US adds date is May 17th, so not long until it starts gaining traction there. Can't wait for this song to become a massive hit worldwide.

P.S: Maybe the video is out Friday (later today)?

Edit: Thought today was friday for some reason lol

Posted by: SeanGrey 12th May 2016, 07:11 AM

I am certain as well with 21 she performed other songs as well. She is typically an album artist though so wants to showcase that as much as possible.

Posted by: mdh 12th May 2016, 07:15 AM

this is the best post of the month

Posted by: Mango 12th May 2016, 01:30 PM

The funniest thing is, I can actually imagine him on it

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 13th May 2016, 10:05 AM

Perform other songs? She had two major TV appearances and performed 'All I Ask'? When WWWY was a single...

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 13th May 2016, 10:06 AM

Forgive me if I'm wrong but bar 'Hello', what else has she performed from the record as promotion?

Posted by: Joe. 13th May 2016, 10:19 AM

Brit Awards: When We Were Young

Posted by: SeanGrey 13th May 2016, 02:24 PM

Water Under The Bridge on Fallon and Million Years Ago on Today or Good Morning America, can't remember.

It is no different than say, Little Mix, performing Black Magic on X-Factor with Love Me Like You when it was the single, I don't get the fuss you're making?

Posted by: *Tim 13th May 2016, 02:49 PM

That's actually quite a big difference.
Little Mix performed an old single and a new single they were kickstarting.
Adele performed an album track when she was trying to kickstart her new single, when she could've performed the new single and propel that into the top 10

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 13th May 2016, 03:25 PM

It'd be like if Little Mix performed ADIDAS on the X Factor instead of LMLY.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 13th May 2016, 03:34 PM

When We Were Young was clearly the single, it had artwork, a digital single on iTunes/Spotify and got sent to radio (in the UK at least). No two ways about it.

Posted by: *Tim 13th May 2016, 03:42 PM

That wasn't even what the discussion was about anymore?
We were just wondering what the reasoning behind her performing other songs instead of WWWY

(And the album artist argument seems kinda odd, when her singles were performing incredibly well during 21 as well)

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 13th May 2016, 04:09 PM

I am well aware of that

Posted by: *Tim 13th May 2016, 04:31 PM

Then I am confused why that randonly pops up when that discussion was done with ~10days ago

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 13th May 2016, 04:37 PM

I apologise for posting my thoughts.

Posted by: *Tim 13th May 2016, 04:43 PM

Ur allowed to post ur thoughts, I was just wondering if you misunderstood the discussion that went on in the past few hours or something. No need to throw ur toys out of the pram

Posted by: Regina 13th May 2016, 04:43 PM

Careful Tim, you'll be getting a very passive aggressive PM soon if you're not careful.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 13th May 2016, 04:45 PM

I understood the discussion entirely :heeheehe: so no need to worry. My toys are firmly in the pram.

Posted by: Noahspike 14th May 2016, 01:16 PM

I think the only explanation is what's been said before here about her wanting to showcase the album when she's promoting rather than focusing exclusively on the single of the time, I'd imagine partly because she's very aware of her overexposure on radio etc. She talks about that a bit at the start of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkIKgZoLJIY. The 'All I Ask' performances during 'When We Were Young''s stint was still a bit odd as it seemed like it was actively being pushed as a replacement single, but it's probably just a case of Adele being in such a uniquely privileged position that she can choose what song she wants to draw attention to at any point in the campaign and no one's going to have a problem with it. Seems she genuinely has no interest in racking up chart hits.

Posted by: SeanGrey 16th May 2016, 07:14 AM

Supposedly the artwork!

Posted by: Joe. 16th May 2016, 07:58 AM

Assuming this'll go on Spotify on Friday?

Posted by: Karma 16th May 2016, 09:41 AM

Looking forward to a new Adele song on the radio, WWWY killed still a beautiful song though.

Posted by: Joe. 16th May 2016, 11:35 AM

Oh, she's put it up now!


Video premiering on Sunday at the Billboards.

Posted by: Frank! 16th May 2016, 12:39 PM

Oh YES. Let the hype begin! The preview looks good too, bring it!

Posted by: Karma 16th May 2016, 01:10 PM

I'm more excited by this now - looking forward to the video looks slick, strong and cool.

Posted by: Envoirment 16th May 2016, 01:30 PM

So excited! Love the single cover.

Posted by: burbe 16th May 2016, 08:03 PM

So excited for this release to get going!

Posted by: Martyn 16th May 2016, 08:25 PM

I feel like I know the blonde in your signature. Who is it?

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 16th May 2016, 08:26 PM

Benjamin, your former BJSC artist! (and now my former artist too as of last month )

Posted by: Martyn 16th May 2016, 08:31 PM

I thought it was him. I must check out what you entered of his!

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 16th May 2016, 08:39 PM

Definitely check both the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JCt7-vrn0A and the http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Benjamin-Body-2016-2480x2480.jpg out

(sorry for the off-topicness guys v excited for this video)

Posted by: burbe 17th May 2016, 08:15 PM

This is now on Spotify!

Posted by: SeanGrey 19th May 2016, 03:47 PM

I'm really excited for the video for this. It looks set to be completely different to anything shes done so far and the fact she is dancing as well is just

Posted by: Envoirment 23rd May 2016, 01:58 AM

Video:



Love it.

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 23rd May 2016, 07:24 AM

Can't decide whether I love it or hate it. It's perfect in its simplicity but the overlapping Adeles are a bit of an eyesore.

Posted by: Hayzayy 23rd May 2016, 09:18 AM

I can't believe how someone as amazing as Adele can release such a mockery of a video.
It is awful, half-arsed and the effects make it actually hard to watch. A total mess. She will get away with this because she's Adele but any other big artist would get backlash for releasing something as dreadful as that video.

Seriously, Adele, I don't get what's your problem with videos.

Posted by: Joe. 23rd May 2016, 09:20 AM

I really liked the effect, but I just wanted something..more..

I don't think it's as shit as people are saying though, well executed for what it is.

Posted by: liamk97 23rd May 2016, 10:50 AM

You can tell this was recorded in between the tour but I like it for what it is. It's not the sort of song that screamed amazing video anyway.

Posted by: *Tim 23rd May 2016, 10:52 AM

I thought someone slipped a substance in my drunk. These double adele effects wereso weird and it looked a mess

Posted by: John-James 23rd May 2016, 10:58 AM

Only Adele can make a video this boring for an upbeat song

Posted by: burbe 23rd May 2016, 06:41 PM

Well that was disappointing, but at least we got a video!

Posted by: Atonement 23rd May 2016, 06:45 PM

Posted by: SeanGrey 23rd May 2016, 08:02 PM

First watch was pretty boring and an eyesore in which I had to double take but I think it's probably her most standout video after Hello.

Posted by: Davidson 23rd May 2016, 09:21 PM

I wish Adele actually gave a f*** to make a decent music videos outwith just that of her lead singles.

Some of her songs are so cinematic (not really this one as much, granted) and really lend themselves well to some great visuals. Would make her eras feel more exciting and more like an artistic event as well as a commercial one.

Posted by: Riser 24th May 2016, 04:33 AM

I was so disappointed. The special effects ruined it. Thought it was starting to improve around the second verse but it just got worse again by the end.

Posted by: Hayzayy 24th May 2016, 08:17 AM

Oh please...

Posted by: SeanGrey 24th May 2016, 05:46 PM

It's sort of true though - apart from sitting in a chair watching plates smash and the comeback of the flip phone there isn't really anything that memorable in her videos and that's coming from me!

Posted by: Jester 24th May 2016, 05:58 PM

You'd think she could at least afford a hair brush!

Posted by: Mango 24th May 2016, 09:55 PM

Ha, yeah that was the first thing that sprang to my mind too

Posted by: J▲hq 25th May 2016, 05:26 PM

Only listened to the song for the first time today, it's not what I'd expect from Adele at all and because of that I'm digging it!

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th May 2016, 01:08 AM

I am an Adele stan and could only watch 30 seconds of the video, What a mess - Looks like it's a fan made edit! Will be interesting to see if the single makes any kind of impact - Can see it missing the Top 40 officially.

Posted by: Hayzayy 28th May 2016, 12:43 PM

Could this has to do with the fact she signed to a new label?
Maybe her current label can't be arsed to pay videos when they know she's moving to a new label for the next album?

Sounds like a poor excuse but I need to find a reason for that mockery

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 28th May 2016, 05:46 PM

She only made one music video last era... Be glad we got one lol

Posted by: *Tim 28th May 2016, 05:53 PM

Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You tho

Posted by: Umi 28th May 2016, 07:58 PM

I don't think 'Someone Like You' really counts as a music video that got "made". It was one 4 minute shot of her miming on phone cam.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 29th May 2016, 12:05 AM

Lol she was across Blackfriars Bridge and her friend filmed her on a phone. Hardly a music video.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th May 2016, 03:20 AM

I don't blame her for snapping up the reported 90 million deal with Sony but I always loved the fact she was with XL - A global superstar on an indie label.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th May 2016, 03:23 AM

Blackfriars Bridge? If your referring to 'Someone Like You' it was filmed in Paris, No Blackfriars Bridge there

Posted by: Jaÿ 29th May 2016, 04:50 AM

"Her friend filmed her" makes it sound like she plucked a random to do it on the cheap; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Nava has directed loads of high profile videos.

Posted by: PVRISPVDVM 29th May 2016, 09:52 AM

This is quite good! Better than Hello

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 29th May 2016, 12:11 PM

I think you missed my sarcasm there dear

Posted by: Scene 5th June 2016, 01:29 PM

What a truly horrific video. Her album campaigns would be far more interesting if there were great visuals to go with the songs. I don't really rate this single choice anyway but I might be able to like it if the video sold it to me. Her only good videos are Hello and Someone Like You.

Posted by: Mackenzie 5th June 2016, 10:05 PM

why are her visuals so weak when the audio is so strong? seriously she has the best vocals why not accompany it with an equally stunning visual?

the Rolling in the Deep, Hometown Glory, Chasing Pavements, Cold Shoulder and Hello videos are all in their own right either cinematic or iconic (coff coff flip phone) and then for the remainder of her singles, she either doesn't have a video (Skyfall, When We Were Young, Rumour Has It etc.) to go with the song or when she does it seems half-hearted e.g. Someone Like You, Send My Love. I don't know, wish her team would pick up on this. I mean I get she's on tour but it's becoming a running theme which is a bit of a joke when she releases an album every 5/6 years?

Also this is probably my favourite Adele song since A Million Years Ago which I first heard when 25 came out, happy it's achieved a top 40 placing. Hope it climbs further!

Posted by: burbe 8th June 2016, 09:05 AM

This is finally picking up some steam now - 21 on Spotify and 22 on iTunes! I hope it can sneak a week in the top 10 like WWWY.

Posted by: Cucumberella 3rd July 2016, 12:09 AM

omg LOVE this song! heard it for the first time today and i'm soooo super into this

Posted by: Cucumberella 3rd July 2016, 12:09 AM

ps the video is gr8 everyone bye

Posted by: Colm 3rd July 2016, 08:31 AM

The video is a good idea - an Adele for each of the voice overdubs. But it could have been done a lot better. As for the song, I dont think much of it.

Posted by: Moooo 4th July 2016, 08:22 PM

Very interesting
