Adele released her previous album, 25<\/em>, on November 20, 2015. After that, she disappeared from the spotlight, leaving listeners unsure when she would make music again. six years later, almost to the day, Adele\u2019s new album, 30<\/em>, will be released on November 19, 2021. However, she released a sneak peek for her viewers; her new single \u201cEasy On Me\u201d dropped on October 15. Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into the lyrics and hopes for the new album!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Adele was asked on Instagram live what her new album is about, she famously responded \u201cdivorce, babe, divorce\u201d in her lovely British accent. But what is \u201cEasy on Me\u201d about? It is about the baggage that Adele has in her previous relationship, which happened when she was \u201cstill a child\u201d, and to be gentle when letting her in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musically, this song was modeled after water. In the visuals of her music video, she is seen making waves with her arm outside of the car window to the song\u2019s first line, \u201cthere ain\u2019t no gold in this river.\u201c She also refers to herself as drowning in prior baggage. This metaphor is also shown vocally through runs, aka words that consist of several notes, that seem like waves. These runs are modified constantly throughout the song which shows that baggage is fluid and strong but it can also be beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am looking forward to hearing the process of Adele\u2018s divorce in the upcoming album and possibly some more tributes to her son. Adele\u2018s infectious talent and personality shine through in her press interviews and in her music. 30<\/em> will be the best and most uniquely \u201cAdele\u201d album yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
