The British singer is back with a new album, a new love and a new attitude.
All looks good on her, so this week’s Chronicle of Pop Life is all about Adele making her feel our love.
The lavish location, Adele in that couture gown and oh, the music.
You can watch (or re-watch) it all happening on Paramount+, where it’s currently streaming.
‘Skyfall’
No, Adele didn’t act in this part, but she did sing the theme song for the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise.
So go for the car chases, high-tech gadgets and elegant demeanor of Daniel Craig, but stay with the music that earned Adele an Academy Award for original song. best of 2013.
Adele’s Album of the Year Award at the 59th Grammy Awards
It wasn’t a movie or TV show to stream, but I had to include one of the greatest Grammy speech moments ever.
Adele took to the Grammys stage in 2017 to accept Album of the Year for “25,” talked about her life, praised her son and husband at the time, then tearfully said she couldn’t accept it. for her album. life is Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”, which was also nominated.
“It’s epic, Beyoncé,” Adele told her fellow nominee, who was seated in the front row.
The camera shot to a pregnant Bey, crying in the stands, talking about her love for Adele. They cried and so did we, how wonderful it is to see two queens supporting each other.
Two things to listen to
Adele’s fourth studio album feels like a long time since her last album was released in 2015.
I feel like any album with a single called “I Drink Wine” can’t help but win.
It’s out now.
For a bit of nostalgia, go back and listen to her “21” album from 2011.
With hits like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Set Fire to the Rain,” Adele defied her sophomore year, which often assumed that successful artists couldn’t do well on their second albums.
Not only has she received critical acclaim, she’s also unlikely to have all the Grammys she’s won next year.
One thing to talk about
Instead, she seems more confident and ready to let her fans know about her life and thoughts.
“It’s just time,” she said. “But it’s always interesting to see my reaction in general to anything that hurts my heart now that I feel very safe with myself and I’m also talking about love.”
Something to sip
For years, Adele would disappear from the scene and only return when she had new music.
It’s a risky strategy at a time when fans expect celebrity appearances on social media and elsewhere.
But the thing is, I don’t think Adele thought about strategy that easily.
She seems to be simply living her life, which makes it possible for her to write the songs we all love.
And even if she chooses to drop scenes again – remember this is one woman who said her last tour could be her last – she owes them absolutely nothing. me because artistically, she gave us a lot.
