The New Adele

I thought Adele's career was over. Everything that she wanted to say, she had said and she was finally happy. She had met the man of her dreams, Simon Konecki and had her son, Angelo in October 2012. '21' had sold 30 million albums and won 6 'Grammy Awards', to say the least.

I got the shock of my life when she posted on Twitter on May 24th 2014,"Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year." What was coming was either going to be a success or a flop that would end her career. Adele had actaully began the early stages of '25' in 2013 however suffered from writer's block, had many unfruitful sessions with numerous producers and had to go back to the drawing board a few times until she met with producer Greg Kurstin and 'Hello' was her major breakthrough - even though it took her 6 months to write.

Moving back and forth from the UK to Los Angeles, 'When We Were Young' and 'All I Ask' came to be.

Many people would say that '21' and '25' sound the same except '21' was better. That is completely wrong because you cannot compare those albums. '25' is the phase after '21' and the life after it all.

Track 1 is her smash hit 'Hello' which is currently number 1 in the whole world and was the first song to reach 1 million downloads in a week in the US. 'Hello' is a song about a break up that was her fault and her wanting him back and him just avoiding her.

Track 2 is called 'Send My Love (To Your New Lover)' and is about Adele letting ​​a lover go and wishing him well in his new relationship hoping that the new girl would be treated better than she was.

'I Miss You' is track 3 and is about the loneliness that comes after a breakup and wanting her lover back.

'When We Were Young ' is about seeing a past lover again and remembering the love shared between you when they were young.

'Remedy' is about what she is- a saving grace. Adele has gotten all of us out of many things and made us feel like we weren't alone in anything.

Track 6 is 'Water Under The Bridge'. This song is about a lover giving up on a relationship because it is facing rough tides. She feels strongly about him and asks that if he wants to end it, he should do it gently because he is becoming more and more distant.

'River Lea' is about a childhood memory in the form of a river called River Lea and how it shaped her to use other people to numb the pain.

'Love In The Dark' is related to '21' as it is about her leaving a relationship because she has fallen out of love with him as she does not feel the love anymore and it is all over.

Track 9 is called 'Million Years Ago' and is about her life when she was younger because she had not made any mistakes and her life was a 'party'. It is about how she has turned into the person she thought she would be and it is too late.

'All I Ask' is a piano ballet about her loving a friend and wanting him to give her a memory she cannot forget because she might not ever see him again.

The final track is called 'Sweetest Devotion' and features Angelo's voice in the background and his love for her bringing her new life.

'25' features paino ballets and instrumentals that are simple and clean in a sense to fully expose her vocals and the lyrics. '25' shows a more upbeat Adele and this shows that she is growing as a artist.

All in all, '25' is beautiful and transparent - I give it 8/10.

Thank you Adele for '25' and thank you for reading this - enjoy the listen!
