It’s been pointed out by a fair few people that Adele’s new, haunting track “Hello” has some interesting parallels with another emotional song with the same title.

After “Hello” was released and many people recognized the similarities, one fan made a mashup of Adele’s video with Lionel’s classic video. The mashup started making the rounds online within hours of the official Adele release, but over the weekend, Richie too was tweeting about it. On Instagram, the singer posted a video clip that mashes up his “Hello” music video with Adele’s.
With Lionel Richie and Adele’s mini-mashup now complete, we sit in waiting for either a full mashup of both tracks or a real-world collaboration – we can dream, right?

Like Richie, we couldn’t be happier to now have two “Hello” songs about loneliness to cry and binge eat ice cream to. When Richie asks his trademark lyric “Is it me you’re looking for”, Adele snaps her flip-phone shut, promptly ending the phone call.
