Adele - Easy On Me. What do you think?

[Crunchymum]

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

Crap. She can't enunciate and the new song just treads water.

I don't get the hype.

Listening to a local radio station today that was playing it every hour (and one of her older songs) and waxing absolutely lyrical over it and her. Every supposed called texting I'm loved it. I would say that her publicist is doing a great job except that it was so over top it made me want to hate the song because of the ridiculousness. Still don't actually know what i think of it.

Too howl-y and I find the way she pronounces a lot of the words really distracting. Won’t be going out of my way to listen to it again.

And she was what 22 when she had her son? 20 when she met her ex? Actually 19 when she wrote her first album? If you listen to th lyrics you can understand it’s just very personal to her but will resonate with a lot of women who married young and it didn’t work.

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.

ooooh salty! Are you her ex new bird?

She is an incredible singer. Her sell out tours show people like her. I dont think she would honestly give a fuck about a few jealous MNers slagging her off

I wonder what those that are slagging her off sing like ..

Not sure what the poster is talking about a bloke who dumped her all those years ago, she split from her husband in 2019 and was divorced last year.

It's rubbish. I find her music generally overrated and depressing

Well, there isn't really anything else significant going on in the world for radio 4 to discuss.“

Yep, gobsmacked that it was the second item on lunchtime BBC news. I hope she’s paying her publicist really, really well.

I adore her voice but most songs seem the same to me. Because her voice is so phenomenal I don't mind listening to it, but I won't be "buying" her album, if that's a thing nowadays.

It isn't jealousy to not love something. I don't buy into the whole 'bow down' to Beyonce thing either but I'm not jealous of her.

I just don't like Adele's new song 🤷‍♀️

I found her speaking voice a bit of a shock after her singing voice

I do like her voice in small doses.But the songs are all whiny and miserable.

And i wouldnt mind she comes across as being able to laugh in interviews.Why not put more of that in to her music.

And the video is basically Hello part 2.Theres nothing new or original there.
If i was her new bf i would be worried in a few years i would be next on the list.

Her stuff is just so samey

I love her music and really like this new single. I do find that I can't listen to her music all the time, really just when I'm a but emotional and need a release

I’m not keen on her voice or her music. Good voice and production but just boring

She knows her fan base though and that who she has recorded for it’s made her very successful.

It's shopping centre musak.

She is so freaking tedious . And I'd be ok with that if it weren't for the fact that she complains constantly and gets annoyed at paying tax. What a piece of work!

That's kind of why I love her.

I was driving down a motorway on my own heading home after a very full on day & just put her on & belted out her songs along with her whilst sobbing my eyes out.

She's awesome. Not cool. But awesome.

Ok yes she should get the fuck over her tax avoidance thing.

But there are WAY more annoying people out there.

And she's mega talented. She just is 🤷🏻‍♀️

So are lots of very talented people.

This 💯

Well it was just a bit boring wasn’t it
Her voice is still great though

Always been a "pub singer", and not even a particularly good one. I have never understood her success, and such dreary songs too.
No accounting for taste, I suppose.

Just dreadful. I can't stand her voice. How she got so loaded is beyond me.

MN is the worst place sometimes honestly it is.

Bill Bailey nailed it
