Firstly, I love Adele’s music and very much admire her character and was very much looking forward to her new music.
However, her new song never goes anywhere. There is nothing, musically, to make your hair stand on end or really want to listen. If I were having a conversation in the car, I would not notice it in the background.
Of course, her voice is, as ever, sublime, but many of the ornaments sound forced and some good clear long notes would have been far better. In addition, after about 90 seconds it is , effectively, ‘on repeat’.
As for the words, I can just imagine her child listening to them as a teen or young adult and cringing.
Of course, the professional reviews love it, but I suspect they would not review Adele badly regardless of what she put out.
So AIBU or do I just not appreciate what is being done here (open to any opinions)?

AIBU?
Adele’s single-boring and self absorbed ( and slightly cringeworthy)?
