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

Can't stand her music, constant whining on and on. You're a grown woman, get over it love!

She's so hyped up it's ridiculous, yes she can sing but for God's sake do something more upbeat.

I'm aware she won't give a shit what I think and is laughing all the way to the bank.

It'll be a hit because it's Adele but I'm not loving it and the lyrics are pap.

Auroreforet · 15/10/2021 13:17

I love Adele.
I think she’s a very talented songwriter and sings her songs in the way she wants them to be.
She also appears to be a really lovely person.
I like this new song. Not my favourite but we all listen to the same tracks from our favourite artists and flip past the ones we’re not so keen on.

Awful, just like everything else she has ever done. Adele is the most limited, tuneless, overrated ‘singer’ of all time. I don’t blame the bloke who dumped her all those years ago and I’m not interested in listening to her still wailing on about it like a cow in labour.

Couldn't agree more.

Can't stand the woman. Gobby, graceless ( and talking about her public performances/rants/fingers and 'F' words on public stages, collecting awards etc, etc )
Oh, and I judge her by the friends she keeps - and most of hers are sycophantic twats 😛

Awful music, can't stand it.

( At least Taylor swift has a dancie- beat and a kookie video to her own multiple kiss'n'tells 🤔 )

tigger1001 · 15/10/2021 13:24

Can't say I'm impressed. Her songs all follow the same formula and are depressing.

My eldest and I were discussing it this morning before we heard it and both of us said no doubt it would be another depressing song, and we were right.

I don't get the appeal. When I heard that both Adele and Coldplay were going to be on radio 2 this morning, I knew not to turn the radio on until 9.30.

RunningToHeaven · 15/10/2021 13:30

She obviously got a very good voice but I don’t really like the sound of it or her music generally. Slow songs and her very recognisable voice means all her songs sound really similar. She acts really OTT in interviews too which I can’t stand.

Remmy123 · 15/10/2021 13:32

Boring

Great voice but boring

TwinklyBranch · 15/10/2021 13:34

I played it once this morning and thought it was a bit meh. I'm a listen-to-the-lyrics person and I didn't really get it or understand how it's meant to be about a divorce. Maybe I need to listen again.

EverExhaustedBudgie · 15/10/2021 13:37

Meh! I'm really not an Adele fan. I find most of her music quite dreary. First time I heard her new single was this morning... I thought "Meh", but after the umpteenth replay on morning TV, I began wishing to never hear it again Grin

trappedsincesundaymorn · 15/10/2021 13:48

Boringly average, the same as all her others.

NashvilleQueen · 15/10/2021 13:48

She has such an incredible voice. I find her songs all the same and not for me. I think she's a nice person tho and I wish her well.

SentDeliveredRead · 15/10/2021 14:02

God her PR team must have been working overtime
Her music is all very 'samey'. You've heard one, you've heard them all, just using different lyrics
I'm sure she is lovely but I'm not buying into the Adele worshiping

TinnedPotatoesRock · 15/10/2021 14:05

She does have an amazing voice but having listened to snippets throughout the morning today, it's nothing different, maybe different subject matter but the song is very samey

Lolly86 · 15/10/2021 14:08

Good voice, boring depressing song. They all sound very similar from Adele.

ILiedAboutBeingTheOutdoorType · 15/10/2021 14:32

Dull, dreary dirge and would struggle to identify it from any her other identical dull, dreary dirges

ChorizoJacketPotato · 15/10/2021 14:33

I don’t like any of her music personally. Great voice but not for me.

TUGGY2006 · 15/10/2021 14:43

I love it but then again I love all of her songs. Seen her last concert in Wembley and was blown away. Yes her songs aren't exactly upbeat and cheery but they are real and honest.

goingtotown · 15/10/2021 15:59

Nondescript.

occa · 15/10/2021 16:47

Boring and will no doubt be tedious af after being played non bloody stop for several months.

I think most of her music is quite dull really. DC always say 'oh it's the psycho stalker woman' when she comes on the radio.

She's clearly still wildly popular though so good for her for tapping into such a strong market.

RunningToHeaven · 15/10/2021 16:55

It seems most people says great voice but not for me. But someone is buying/streaming it...who are they? cos there’s loads of them. 😬

Blackbird2020 · 15/10/2021 17:00

The song is ok.... nothing to call home about. I find artists like Sia, who have similarity amazing voices with incredible range, far more interesting.

The video.. what can I say... driving a car away from an empty house whilst singing? Is that it?? All that amazing creative talent at her/her agent’s disposal and they came up with THAT?!

MonkeyPuddle · 15/10/2021 17:10

I bloody love it. Her voice makes my soul sing.

VsgKitt · 15/10/2021 17:33

Awful. Boring.

LucyGrey · 15/10/2021 17:33

Sounds like all her other songs.
