Released on Friday October 23, it has been more than four years since Adele's last released album 21 which won 6 Grammys.
She’s back.
The much anticipated single has already hit over 50 million views on YouTube (safe to say it will reach double by the time this is published) and is exquisitely beautiful. While her song resembles her previous album about heartbreak, she has made a comeback with a sense of maturity and self forgiveness.
The songs powerful lyrics starts out with “Hello it’s me” and builds up to a chilling “Hello from the other side, I must’ve called a thousand times.” The haunting melody given off portrays that Adele's heart still aches about someone who tore her apart while trying to find this never-ending closure. Even if you’ve never had a relationship, this song will be giving you the feels when you hear her eerie ballad incorporated with booming vocals. The only downfall of this song (I am sure many of you can relate to) is that the vocal range is a bit out of my league. Hearing me sing this sounds like a dying frog.
So why is everyone freaking out about this song? Is it because it’s been four years since a new release from her? Or because this song brings a much needed breath of fresh air to pop music? Personally for me, her new single is like cheese curds. I should have never let them into my life but now that I have-it is painfully amazing. This is the kind of song that will never be deleted off your playlist. The type of song that brings you back to a point in time when you said goodbye to someone. Rarely does a four minute song give me chills, congrats Adele, you proved me wrong.
Even famous people are going crazy over her new single including other singers.
Emma Watson tweeted this to show her fans how much she loved the song.
As well as Kate Hudson (this picture actually makes me really sad, sorry readers).
Oh and the emotionally unavailable...
A couple tips if you’ve never heard her song before.
1.Be alone. (You might tear up a little...or a lot)
2. Have ice cream with you. (depressing song=good food to make you happy again)
3. Do not text your ex (She's famous. That's the only reason she could call her ex a thousand times. Don't take this verse to heart.)
If you haven’t already heard or seen the song or want to listen it for the 100th time again. Here it is:
Thanks to this song, I forgive Adele for not releasing new music since 2011. I would not be surprised if her new album 25 has people calling their therapists around the world. heart attacks around the world with it's release date on November 20th.
