Have only heard it once. I'm not over enamoured with it.

Lovely voice.
However went to see in concert and it is such depressing music I will never go again.

Dragongirl10 · 15/10/2021 11:32

Stunning voice, love the song and looking forward to the others on the new album.

rainbowdashsneeze · 15/10/2021 11:33

It made me cry, I related to every word and my 14 year old listened to it and rang me straight and said it reminds me of you mum!! Love it.

I found it slightly samey, but I will give the benefit of the doubt until I have had a few more listens.

I prefer more upbeat ones really.

Adele's getting boring now

AdmiralCain · 15/10/2021 11:42

First Album - Warbled
Second Album - Warbled
Third Album - Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) Co-wrote an album with her, a lot edgier, Damon tried to get through to her she was the biggest singer on the planet and she could make WHATEVER music she wanted and people would follow her. She didn't use Damon's songs and you guessed it... Went back to warbling and playing it safe.
Did that James Bond song, When the skyfalls, Apple crumble or some such Warbling.
4th Album - Warbled.

I love her voice so much and the bit of personality she shows to the public I love too. I can’t speak for how she actually is as nobody knows except for her and the people she’s close to but I’ve seen her live twice and I think she’s fantastic.
She also looks amazing in her new video!

HarrisMcCoo · 15/10/2021 12:16

Prefer her older stuff.

MrsBirkett · 15/10/2021 12:23

Whiny and boring, as usual. I really don't get why she's so successful. Over hyped like that other bore, Ed Sheran.

*Sheeran

furbabymama87 · 15/10/2021 12:27

She's overrated in my opinion. I find her songs boring and mediocre and this is no better. She can sing but I don't think she's any better than the majority of female singers out there today.

Enterifyoudare · 15/10/2021 12:27

I don't think she needs to give a flying monkies about what MN says about her. It's not like she needs to work or needs the money TBH.

Be honest, if you could do a half arsed job, still get paid a few million and keep your swanky LA manion, you would wouldn't you?!

Enterifyoudare · 15/10/2021 12:27

*mansion even

Enterifyoudare · 15/10/2021 12:28

FWIW, I actually quite like this song. I like the line about being someone else to keep everyone else happy.

Bluntness100 · 15/10/2021 12:31

I really like it, but I needed to listen to it w couple of times and not watch the awful video.

Bagelsandbrie · 15/10/2021 12:41

Probably get slated for this but I actually feel a bit sorry for her 9 year old son. She’s made out this is all about her explaining her need to divorce his dad and get her life back - yeah, so many of us can relate to that- but what child wants to have their Mums feelings played out so openly like this? I can still remember how upset and cringed out I was when my Mum started to write poetry about breaking up with my Dad and reading it at poetry festivals when I was 13 - and that was only to about 200 people.

LaurieFairyCake · 15/10/2021 12:56

Great song

ichundich · 15/10/2021 12:58

I've never got the hype. To me her music and voice are incredibly boring and whiney. Have to switch the radio off when she comes on! The only song I can just about tolerate is Skyfall, and even that is probably only thanks to Daniel Craig.

FourteenthDoctor · 15/10/2021 13:04

She gives the fans what they want

NeedAHoliday2021 · 15/10/2021 13:05

I’m not a big fan but I heard it this morning and liked it. I wasn’t watching the tv so just heard it and thought “wow” what a voice… then I realised it was Adele.

mydogisthebest · 15/10/2021 13:06

She can sing but I hate her whiny voice. I also hate her depressing songs. Sick of all the hype about her

Floristry382 · 15/10/2021 13:06

Decaffe I thought that line was about her career rather than marriage maybe?

NotFrozen · 15/10/2021 13:08

The lyrics are so poignant, they make we want to cry and remind me of how our children could judge our choices one day. I wonder what choices I will have to explain to mine. There is so much depth in it. To me, it’s breathtaking, but maybe that is because they lyrics connect with me.

LeaveYourHatOn · 15/10/2021 13:10

@TempleofZoom

Tedious warbling.
Exactly this.
TopTabby · 15/10/2021 13:11

Neither really like nor dislike same as most of her stuff.
Oh but it was being played every hour on the radio in case you were lucky enough to miss it!
It's the usual being told what to like that will never sit right with me, it's Adele, so what?
