I thought this was going to be the thread where we all talk about how deranged she is, and how she screams this song, and how she needs some serious counseling. Guess not.

marbel Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I love her voice. Seems that so many of the current singers have such thin, whiny voices. She can really belt it out.

SproutMamaK Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I heard an interview with her recently where she said that she basically totally redid this album. She had more current songs that reflect her current life and happy relationship and child and when she listened to it all... it just didn't suit her voice at all. And she decided that while she wants to be true to herself, she also wants her music to speak to people and be something she can be proud of. She went back to square one and stuck with songs about heartache because that's just what suits her. I can imagine it must be taxing to sing about heartbreak all the time when you're happily married with a family, lol, but artistically I can certainly see what she means. Her voice does not naturally seem suited to being joyous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 In all seriousness, I am mildly disturbed by the number of teen girls who claim to be playing "Hello" on repeat for hours at a time. I worry that they will believe that this level of angst is acceptable or desirable when it comes to their own little teen crushes. I think of Adele and her themes as more appropriate for grown-ups, not 16 year-olds. But mostly, I want to yell at her to "move on already." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an angst-filled teen I spent hours in my room with my record player, playing the same songs over and over, thinking about whatever boy I had a crush on and wondering when I would ever feel good again. I assume it's a pretty typical stage and most girls get over it. Hope I am right about that. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, I think that verse struck many as creepy. LOL I'm surprised if that's true. I think it's a pretty common human experience - you think that your feelings will somehow almost compel the other person to love you, if only they really understood how deep they were. Or showing up to a place where you know someone will be. It's not true of course that someone will love you if you love then, but it's a really common feeling in the young. Even older people might hope that someone would be interested in rekindling a relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I love Adel and her music, but I was a little disappointed that this sounded just like her other music. I understand that she believes her voice is best with a particular type of song, but I'd like to see her break out a little bit. So far, from what I have heard, there isn't a different 'sound' to this album compared to the others. That makes me feel like I don't need to buy it if they all sound the same, kwim? But, maybe I will be surprised by what is to come. I was actually looking forward to hearing some new sounds, some new music, from her new life. I say that knowing that often when a singer or musician has a a very strong 'voice' their fans go nuts when they try to change and grow as an artist. I have certainly been disappointed in the past when that happens. So, maybe there is just no pleasing me, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Love, love, love Adele! As for my angst music listening years, they were also in high school. I wore out Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. She's someone with anger and sadness issues on that album! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 For some reason this song grates on my nerves. I have even thumbs downed it on Pandora. I think it is just how depressing and repetitive it is. I feel like I am spending time with a friend wallowing in a depression. It it one of those times when you need to support the other person and keep saying 'it will get better' 1000 times in 1000 different ways, but inside you are screaming... "Seriously, just get over it and move on"! I don't find beauty in her voice this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 As far as the song itself, it's not my favorite of hers either. It just seems to lack something to me. Areatha Franklin - she had some similarities in the style of her songs, but they still had an individual character. My feeling about this one is that the voice is great, but the song sounds like 100 others on the radio in every other way. Teens do like their angst music. I guess it makes them feel less alone in their emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 For awhile, ds was obsessed with Adele. Probably around the time he was about 8 yo - so a few years ago when she was first really big. I remember he had the following conversation with his aunt about it. Aunt: Who's your favorite singer? Ds: I love Adele. Aunt: Why? Ds: She's just so strong and her songs are just (he hummed a bunch, I think). I just think her music is so good. Aunt: And the heartbreak, right? Ds: What? What are you talking about? I like the new song. Ds liked it too. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I'm on my second listen to the new album. It's very good and she sounds great, but the slower songs, though pretty, all blend together for me. I love River Lea, and I'm pretty sure Send My Love (To Your New Lover) will soon be stuck on repeat in my head.
