Adele - Hello (Single Review)

Adele Adkins is a very successful singer-songwriter from Tottenham, London. The soul singer has a net worth of over £50,000,000, and has been performing for almost a decade. Even though Adele had based her most renowned album '21' on heartbreak from a previous break-up. Surprisingly it became a humungous success; honouring her with many rewards and heart-warming feedback from other well-known artists,  due to her relatable lyrics. '21' is also the fourth best-selling album of all time in the UK. The single which I am going to review is a teaser from her new album '25' and it is called 'Hello', this track was recently released on the 23rd of October, 2015.

'Hello' welcomes her return to music after 3 years; since her 2012 hit - 'Skyfall'. The lyrics are accompanied by a slow piano and the first verse proposes a sense of extreme nostalgia.

"Hello, it's me. I've been wondering if after all these years, you'd like to meet? To go over everything."

On the other hand, this song does not just portray a sense of nostalgia. This track is also solidly based on regret.

"Hello from the other side, I must've called a thousand times. To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done."

Unlike her previous work, Adele appears to be singing from the males prospective this time. This song is showing how she has built up the strength to finally get over him and accept the break-up and the male has realised that.

"Hello from the outside, at least I can say that I've tried to tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart. But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart...anymore."

I am glad that Adkins has surpassed and accepted the break-up stage; resulting in her overcoming her stage of remorse and heartbreak. She is also bringing her new work into a more positive light; still deep and soulful lyrics, however it is no longer about remorse on her behalf. This track was absolutely flawless.


10/10
