What are the singer’s career prospects after the break
British singer Adele after a six-year break has presented a music video for the song “Easy On Me” and announced the album release. The album is called “30. The record will be available on streaming platforms on November 19. Fans took the news positively, and music critics are discussing how timely will be the return of Adele. Judging by the new track, her style hasn’t changed much in the meantime.
The last album by Adele was released six years ago. The record with a laconic title “25” became platinum right on the day of release, in Britain it was bought by more than 300 thousand people in a day. It brought the singer two Grammy awards. And the tour in support of the record secured the status of Adele as one of the most successful performers. In 2017, the publication Forbes estimated her income in $69 million. Then the singer admitted that she was very tired from the tour, and did not rule out that will not arrange a large-scale tours anymore.
In 2019, Adele said she was ending her music career because she wanted to devote more time to her son. Although the news upset fans, they supported the singer with a flash mob. On numerous videos one of the main hits of Adele was sung by jelly bears and buses.
Lately Adele has been the heroine of socialites. Glossy publications discussed the divorce and the new image – the singer lost a lot of weight. The singer’s return to the stage became known not so long ago. In early October, she posted a small excerpt of a new song on Instagram, and a week ago, she gave her first big interview for several years to Vogue magazine and shot for the cover. By the way, after the photos appeared in the network, the requests for black eyeliner – a trademark element of Adele’s style – jumped dozens of times.
The singer’s new track is called Easy On Me and the title can be translated as “Be gentle with me”. In an interview Adele confessed that she wrote the album for her son. According to her, it is an attempt to explain to her child why she divorced and destroyed his world in pursuit of her own happiness.
The new song was greeted positively by fans and music critics. Rolling Stone published an article with the headline “Adele brings the world to tears”. The singer’s voice is full of regret and determination, writes BBC. Stereo.ru columnist Alexander Belyaev has no doubt that it’s impossible to ignore the singer’s new work: “I would compare Adele to Bjork, which annoyed a lot of people when it appeared, but it was clear that this is a phenomenon and it’s not going anywhere. With Adele, I think, the same thing happened.
For an artist like that, who was making a career systematically, it was a disaster for pop music, of course, to take a break like that. There are very few people who could afford it.
There’s a certain kind of calculation. No matter what she released, there would still be some interest, because it’s clear that she’s a cool artist and she’s a cool person – that’s the main thing.
Nevertheless, some music critics are skeptical about Adele’s comeback. The main arguments are that the industry has changed a lot: during the singer’s absence there have been many of her followers, and listeners are simply bored with piano ballads. Whether that’s true will become clear after November 19.
