It has already been a few months since Adele said hello to us again.
Hello, Adele!
The dynamite comeback of the songstress was definitely not easy to miss, television and radio shows have kept on playing her tunes, day and night.
On 23rd of October, the UK singer released “Hello”, one of the first tracks of her upcoming album 25. And since then rave reviews and accolades have been heard left and right about how good, sensational and heartfelt her album has been. It has even broken records, inspiring jealousy from lesser divas and wannabes.
The song is a much diverted message compared to her previous album of pain and loss. It evokes regret and nostalgia themes which plays like a conversation to her other half. In a Telegraph UK review, it says “Hello is a class act, an old fashioned ballad that never hurries, never overdoes it, but delivers the raw, honest feeling that has made Adele a superstar. “Much like the rest of us feels, Adele said in an interview with Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show that “I felt all of us were moving on, and it’s not about an ex-relationship, a love relationship, it’s about my relationship with everyone that I love.”
She also added, “It’s not that we have fallen out, we’ve all got our lives going on and I needed to write that song so they would all hear it, because I’m not in touch with them.”
In a Rolling Stone interview, the line “hello from the other side” means “But it’s actually just from the other side of becoming an adult, making it out alive from your late teens, early twenties.”
Talking about the message, the record also broke the internet that when it debuted, it achieved almost 30 million Vevo views within 24-hour span, surpassing Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood music video. It also had the shortest time to have 100 million views in Vevo which was previously held by Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball. There are even memes in social media circulating.
Amidst the craze music listeners are showing, Adele acts like a personification of everyone’s in-depth emotions. She’s always able to release the honest messages we want to show to the world. She’s a force to reckon when it comes to music and will always be one of the greatest singers of all time.
Now put in those earplugs on and listen to the captivating song again.
