After what seems like a forever wait, Adele has released the first video single from her upcoming album 30. The first single and video from the album is title ‘Easy On Me’. My first impressions of the song is it is in line with what we would expect from Adele. The base of the song surrounds Adele’s vocals with a melancholic accompanying piano. This is a formula that I personally expected and was happy to hear.
Since it has been such a long-time between albums, reminding all of us what we love so much about her seems like the right move. In Easy On Me her voice initially sounds wounded and ramps up and soars. Her voice, is as powerful as it has ever sounded and just conveys emotion and connects to the listener in a way that few singers can. Outside of the vocals and music, the lyrics are deep and personal. From media and interviews it seems the album will center around her divorce, her son and her journey to find happiness. Based on that, I would say the overall album will stay the course and be in line with the theme of the initial single. I personally have always enjoyed Adele and followed her starting with 19. At this point, most will have made an opinion if her style fits their musical tastes but it would be a hard argument that her vocals are not fantastic. Do yourself a favor and listen to the final bridge of Easy On Me for an example of simply a near perfect vocal performance.
