Now more than ever, music is the most sought out method to relieve emotional or physical stress. Adele, a British singer-songwriter, is best known for the descriptive narrative she tells through her songwriting. Her upcoming album, <\/span>30<\/span><\/i>, named after when she started the songwriting process, is planned to release on November 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rise to Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adele\u2019s claim to fame may have seemed instant, but it was not coincidental. She released three demos on her MySpace account in 2006 and received a lot of traction. Her debut album which includes songs  \u201cChasing Pavements<\/a>\u201d and \u201cHometown Glory<\/a>\u201d, had massive success in Britain and even more so in America where it debuted at No. 1 on iTunes. Continuing in this trajectory, Adele won 15 Grammys, 5 No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top 100, and has accumulated over 10 billion views on Youtube. A majority of her success derives from her raw and emotional albu<\/span>ms that describe different aspects of relationships.<\/p>\n

25<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cHello\u201d singer\u2019s most recent album, <\/span>25<\/span><\/i>, encroaches on topics of timelessness and self-discovery. She says about her album, \u201c25 is so much more complex than that. It’s a brazen, beautiful statement about confronting self-doubt head-on \u2014 and coming out on the other side.” Her track \u201cWhen We Were Young<\/a>\u201d seems disconnected, having only lived a mere 25 years, but the you<\/span>th she describes is not quantified by age. She wants to go back before she matured, before the heartbreak, before the public image, and before parenthood.<\/p>\n

Easy On Me<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, she released her first single in 6 years, “<\/span>Easy On Me”<\/span><\/a>. She reflects on her divorce from Simon Kockbeni and what she wishes she could\u2019ve done. In contrast to other chart-toppers, “Someone Like You” and \u201cHello\u201d that utilize the F-minor scale, “Easy on Me” is in F-major, which suggests a brighter and more positive approach to the song. The bridge to the second chorus puts closure to her reflective process and starts the process of moving on: \u201cI had good intentions\/And the highest hopes\/But I know right now\/That probably doesn’t even show.\u201d  <\/span><\/p>\n

A short while before she released \u201cEasy On Me\u201d, she announced her new album <\/span>30<\/span><\/i> on her Instagram along with a heartfelt note. Many fans took to Instagram to share their support. Fellow artist Lil Nas X even chimed in to show full support for Adele\u2019s new album. Adele stated recently in a Vogue interview<\/a> that 30<\/em> is the rawest album she has made.  She discusses divorce, motherhood, and adulthood while reflecting on that through music.<\/span><\/p>\n
