Adele’s 25 album chases records with 300000 first day United Kingdom sales
25 was released on November 20 through XL/Columbia Records. Any of the album’s first ten songs could have easily ended up on 2011’s mega-selling 21 album.
One chart it won’t be topping is the Spotify’s, since “25” has not been made available on the streaming service. This was first shown in an global television show a few days ago. Still, he admits that Adele hasn’t lost her touch, even though contemporary pop has started to move in another direction. Adele’s not going to save the record industry, that ship has sailed, but she’s proof of the everlasting power of big, brassy ballads and the universality of heartbreak, her stock in trade.
There is only one way to find out if such expectations will be met or will even be surpassed and that is to do a proper review of it.
The anxiety is alluded to again on I Miss You (“I miss you when the lights go out / It illuminates all of my doubts”) with its slow galloping drums and tension-building arrangements. (Adele is backed by a single acoustic guitar.) The album’s thematic centerpiece might be “All I Ask”, yet another piano ballad-Bruno Mars is a co-writer-with a churchy, rolling quality that puts me in mind of Carole King or Elton John. It’s raw; you feel like you’re in a small café as she’s singing. A single like this further showcases how lyrically intelligent she is as a composer as well as one of the greatest pure singers alive today.
Whether it’s her voice, the lyrics or the song’s productions, the singer certainly has a way of pulling at the heartstrings of listeners. She is not just handed a piece of paper and told,”Here, sing this”. Adele writes her own material!
It won’t come as a surprise if Adele succeeds in breaking the aforementioned records considering her first single in three years, “Hello” (the only single she officially dropped from 25 prior to the new album’s release), became the first single to sell 1 million downloads in a week and the most-viewed music video on Vevo within 24 hours. In most likelihood, it would not stray away too much from the live performance version. Isn’t it cute how perky and expectant it is this morning, like a little kid on Christmas or your cat when it hears you opening a can of tuna?
