New music Friday – Welcome back Adele – Radio SRF 3

With “Easy On Me,” Adele shows her strong side: an uplifting song, tailored to British acoustic wonders.

Can you expect anything other than Adele showing herself at her best? Anything else would be disappointing. The 33-year-old is one of today’s most successful singers, has sold over 100 million records and her cup treasury is rich in stock – including the Grammys and Oscars.

It was expected that her first new music label for life after 6 years was not only perfectly announced little by little, but also perfectly advertised: a good week ago, the British woman posted the intro to her music video on Instagram, which has been posted so far. Clicked on it more than 17 million times. And a few days ago, she gave her fans even more: in a live chat on Instagram, she played a track from “Easy On Me” for her fans.

Although the quality was suboptimal, it was an ear treat that gave a hint that Adele’s typical song was on its way. Somewhat sad, touching and goosebumps.

The song can now be heard in full from today, Friday, October 15, 2021. And here’s what makes it official: “Easy On Me” shows Adele at her best. A track with an audio dress that encapsulates your voice in a tailor-made way, with a video that perfectly displays the text. It didn’t take long last night and the video got over a million clicks, and by 6am it had crossed 8 million views. And at the premiere last night, the BBC wrote, there were 299,000 people live on YouTube.

I did it again. Adele makes the world cry.

Adele’s ‘Easy On Me’ tracks fans into a ‘storm of emotions’

The new song sounds like you know Adele. Passionate, strong, authentic.

“Easy On Me” – A perfect introduction to the new album

Adele hasn’t just turned the single release into an event beforehand. Along with fans and celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon from “The Tonight Show,” the party has already started – five weeks before the new album “30” is due to appear on November 19, 2021. The album was supposed to be called “30.” As with her previous albums “19”, “21” and “25”, the 30 marks the year she started working on it.

30 hasn’t been an easy year for Adele

At the age of 30, after the wedding, Adele broke up with her husband Simon Konecki, the father of her 9-year-old son Angelo. She said on social media that the album was produced at the most turbulent time in her life. As a friend and savior, this helped her through difficult times. Now she is ready and returns from the ashes like a phoenix.

Talking about it in detail, the singer was already in the “Vogue” USA and UK editions. In the first interviews five years ago, she revealed among others: “I have a feeling this album is self-destructive, then a self-reflection and then some kind of self-redemption.”

“Vogue” reporter Giles Hattersley is also one of the first to describe the new songs. Adele played a little for him. He’s excited and says: The range of the new album is more diverse, you experience Adele as a singer/songwriter more than – as he writes – the midnight song, and it also brings out the cool sound you can hear in the Balearic Islands at sunset.
