Adele announced on Wednesday that her next album, “30,” will be released on November 19th, six years after her last. She is out of the public eye, musically speaking. Since the release of her “25” album in 2015, she has been underground. An initial single, “Easy on Me,” is coming out on Friday.
The British singer, in a lengthy Instagram post, expressed herself. She says after “throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil,” she’s feeling better. An “I’m ready to finally put this album out,” she writes. Giant hits like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Hello,” her previous two albums rank among the 50 biggest-selling in music history.
The album “21” was released in 2011 and is believed to have sold 31 million copies worldwide. The album “25” was released in 2015 and has sold 22 million copies. Adele, or anyone else, will never again achieve those sales statistics. Thanks to the dominance of streaming platforms like Spotify. Nonetheless, she has a level of celebrity that only Taylor Swift can match in the music industry.
Vogue describes “Easy on Me” as a “gut-wrenching plea of a piano ballad
In an interview with Vogue, Adele mentions “there isn’t a bombastic ‘Hello.’ But I don’t want another song like that. That song catapulted me in fame to another level that I don’t want to happen again.” “I’ve learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way,” Adele wrote on Instagram. “I’ve shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones. Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I’ve finally found my feeling again. I’d go so far as to say that I’ve never felt more peaceful in my life.”
Vogue describes “Easy on Me” as a “gut-wrenching plea of a piano ballad.” “It’s sensitive for me, this record, just in how much I love it,” Adele told the magazine. “I always say that ‘21’ doesn’t belong to me anymore. Everyone else took it in their hearts so much. I’m not letting go of this one. This is my album. I want to share myself with everyone, but I don’t think I’ll ever let this one go,” she adds.
