Adele Hello: Intense, Raw and Witty
Adele is back, reintroducing herself with a slightly iffy “Hello”. Beginning from the crack piano chord and that very first hello she sounds nervous, determined and lovelorn. Adele with her vintage aura arrives back on the stage with her private sphere.
Adele avoided over the top glamour, Ta-ra lightning, explosion of whistles and snobbish appeal. In Hello, her gorgeous, husky tones and enormous vocals take us back to the Adele we fell in love with all those years ago.
However, the lyrics are a far sob from those that we may be used to. Gone were the days where Adele's songs would be termed as Cry Baby or we needed a good cry into a pillow. This single is about making up and moving on.She Added,
'My last record was a breakup record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record'
Hello, unfurl gradually. Although delivering a mood of an emotional dilemma, it’s a perfect confident comeback. It travels on two ominous piano chords, orchestral strings shading the end of the first verse, bulging through the second, before the chorus hits with a grave blast, the double thump of a bass drum and her voice topping up a range. This sense of each woman sentiment is what people always reacted to in Adele, she is a pop diarist, sharing the pure puzzles of her heart with no qualms.
A beautiful song of loss and regret, it takes a grasp on the kind of memory every listener contains somewhere in their heart and blends it with Adele’s own drama. The opening is punching – it’s quite witty to launch your first album for five years with the initials “Hello, it’s me” – and the chorus sticks after one listen.
