Adele - 30

A friend who always gets in touch: Adele's new album
Undoubtedly, few songs in 2021 were as eagerly anticipated as Adele's new single, "Easy On Me." After just a few hours, the video for the piano ballad had been viewed by around 15 million people on YouTube alone—and the number is still rising, of course.

And the music world is just as excited about the new album by the British pop, soul, jazz, and R&B singer and songwriter: "30" is the title of the record, Adele's fourth studio album, which, like its three predecessors, "19" (2008), "21" (2011), and "25" (2015), she named after the age at which she began working on it.

She spent three years writing the new songs, which she ultimately recorded with star producers Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, and Shellback, who had also collaborated on the album's predecessor. Further support came from Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson, Canadian singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr., British producer Inflo of the music collective Sault, and rappers and producers Tyler, The Creator and Skepta. As with Adele's previous albums, the vocals on "30" are the original demo recordings.

On "30," Adele processes her divorce from her ex-husband while also singing about motherhood and the downsides of fame. "I learned a lot of bitter truths about myself along the way," the 33-year-old wrote in a social media post. During this time, she said, music was like a "friend who always reached out to me, even when I stopped reaching out because I was so consumed by my own grief. Since then, I've painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart, and this album is a story about that."

"30" will be released as a CD, as a double LP on classic black vinyl, and as a double LP on clear vinyl. But only while stocks last.
