Then again, with a voice like Adele’s, she could sing about anything and still earn our undying devotion.

The pressure on 25 to perform is very big and to say no expense was spared or stone left unturned in the quest to reignite the successful formula of 21 is a gross understatement. Danger Mouse and Adele wade out into a few hypnotic, atmospheric gospel in “River Lea“. And whether it’s pain or heartache or exuberance that fuels the fire, Adele serves it up with an effortless, albeit more mature joy.
During the chat with Norton for upcoming TV special Adele At The BBC, the singer goes on to admit she almost quit music for good following the huge global success of her 2011 album 21. She received this trophy for her original ‘Skyfall, ‘ which was featured on the credits of the James Bond film of the same name. There are songs that allude to lost or fading youth, betraying her still tender years.
Her first Top 40 hit in the United States of America, the song earned three Grammy nominations and won one for Best Female Vocal Performance.
“It’s definitely heavier, I agree”.
“I feel like the idea of naming albums after my age is always to show a photograph of what’s going on in my life [at that time]. We know we have to enter adulthood, but we’re all a bit frightened and sad about it”. Part of the film was shot on IMAX, the first music video ever to use that format.
On October 21st Adele took to Twitter to address her fans, and announce her return to music.
Many music publications who’ve been lucky enough to hear the album in full ahead of its release have touted “When We Were Young” as its best track, the BBC music guide labeling it 25’s “real centerpiece, and a future standard”. I only listened to it once before getting sidetracked by Justin Bieber’s objective and One Direction’s Made in the A.M. But even after repeated listens of both albums, guess which song I kept whistling over and over again?
It was only once she had given birth to her son that Adele realised she had been “craving” motherhood. I’m very conscious of how much my life has changed and how much his childhood will be very different to mine, but I haven’t changed. I missed the intimacy I had with my friends before we all became grownups.

Two-minute snippets of all the songs on “25” leaked online Tuesday, according to Billboard.
