I like the idea of hello being a reply to hotline bling...

supposedly it sounds like 70s soft rock!
hello rumer.

this almost makes the song acceptablehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZwGLYjxdXU

I was walking down our alley and we passed a sorority house where what sounded like ten girls were singing along at the top of their lungs and when they hit the chorus, ouchhhhhhhh. Terrifying!

this one sounds to me a bit like that big ballad on the brandon flowers album (which in a way makes sense as reichtshaid produced the studio version)

could do with a bit of a donk on it though. there's a shellback song on the album, i'm intrigued by that at least
― art baengels (monotony), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 12:16 (eight years ago) link
new song is just .. there.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 15:54 (eight years ago) link
The album is also just...there.

why did i ever like adele. this sounds like a reality show winner's album.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Friday, 4 December 2015 13:29 (eight years ago) link
people love this though and seem to think she is the most talented thing ever . idk it's just ok
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 4 December 2015 14:05 (eight years ago) link
people are buying a personality (adele is pretty irresistible as a person) and an outlook on heartbreak, and the music is a functional device to deliver those things, it is "good enough"
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 December 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
she's such a great example of how far a "normal" persona gets you. "oh she'd be fun to go down the pub with" the fucking nigel farage of pop
xp!!
― lex pretend, Friday, 4 December 2015 14:26 (eight years ago) link
embodiment of yt privilege too obv, imagine a black woman singing ballads about heartbreak having even half her success in the past...two decades?

So I just heard this for the first time, and the formula seems to be Pat Benatar verse + American Idol chorus, repeat
The consensus / ubiquity of Adele also reminds me of Macy Gray's popularity circa 2000, before anyone used the term "monoculture" to describe things that were bland enough for everybody to enjoy
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 4 December 2015 16:22 (eight years ago) link
i forgot another element, her voice, which you kind of have to admit is great? alongside that i'd add something about her JUDGMENT as a singer - she goes big when she needs to, she keeps it simple when she needs to

They play a dance mix of "Hello" on the pop station here, I don't get it

so it's not actually an album? gutted & heartbroken, truly we are living in the worst timeline, etc.

ohhh never mind, i thought she and h.e.r. were gonna release a duet. it will probably get grammys-a-plenty regardless

Anybody heard her new single “Easy on Me” yet?

it’s quite forgettable

on first listen i'd say i like it
― dyl, Friday, 15 October 2021 01:14 (two years ago) link
really been dreading her “comeback”, i still have nightmares of hearing “hello” everywhere for 2 years. she is awful
― groovemaaan, Friday, 15 October 2021 02:03 (two years ago) link
the one time I got an MRI I made the mistake of asking for the radio to be on, and it was when Adele was big. I'll never forget being trapped motionless in a tube listening to "Never mind I'll fiiiiind, someone like youuuuuuuuuu BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM foooooor youuuuuuuuuuu BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM"

this is better than any of her previous huge hits
looking forward to the inflo tracks at least

I listened to 21 a ton. Then Hello and 25 came out and they were garbage, and I stopped listening to 21.

I made the mistake of listening to "Easy On Me" after a morning blasting soft Jessie Ware.
It's fine. You know what's a jam? "Rumour Has It." Forgot about that one. I pretend Ryan Tedder credit doesn't exist.

I think "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" absolutely destroys everything else she's ever done. New song seems "adult contemporary" in a really bland way, but the chorus has a nice melody
