Alexa, play “Easy On Me”. On repeat.
Music Alexa, play “Easy On Me”. On repeat. The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived, Adele’s highly anticipated fourth album is just around the corner, and the first single from it has just been released. “Easy On Me” is Adele’s first single in six years and, let’s just say, she did not go easy on us. Her familiar soaring vocals sound over a romantic piano melody, and allow the vulnerable lyrics to do the talking, wreaking havoc on the emotional wellbeing of her millions of fans. In a recent interview with British Vogue, Adele described her forthcoming album 30 (set for release on November 19) as “self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption” provoked, one assumes, by her separation from Simon Konecki in 2019. As the album announcement on Instagram explains, she knowingly threw herself into “a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil” during the process of creating the album.
