    WASHINGTON: The tracklist for Grammy-winning singer Adele’s highly anticipated album ’30’ is here. The album, which marks her comeback to the music scene, is set to release on November 19.

    On Monday, the tracklist for ’30’ was revealed via a listing for Target’s exclusive deluxe CD. The standard tracklist is 12 songs, with an additional three songs listed on the deluxe album, reported People magazine.

    The deluxe version of the album, which is Adele’s first since she released ’25’ in November 2015, includes a version of her latest single, ‘Easy On Me’, with Chris Stapleton.

    See the entire tracklist below:

    1. Strangers By Nature

    2. Easy On Me

    3. My Little Love

    4. Cry Your Heart Out

    5. Oh My God

    6. Can I Get It

    15. Easy On Me (with Chris Stapleton)

    Last week, the singer announced that she will perform twice in London’s Hyde Park in July 2022, her first shows since 2017.

    “Oiii Oiiiiiiiiiiiii,” Adele wrote with a heart emoji, dropping details on presale ticket information for the July 1 and 2, 2022, shows. Fans can follow the link to a page with the official music video for her new single ‘Easy on Me’. Once there, those interested are able to sign up for Hyde Park presale access.

    When announcing ’30’ to the world earlier this month, Adele said that she started working on the album nearly three years ago, and was in a completely different place than she expected to be.

    “I was certainly nowhere near where I’d hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago,” the hitmaker said in a statement at the time.

    She added, “Quite the opposite actually. I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly — willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!”

    Adele’s last two albums, ’25’ and ’21’, both won album of the year at the Grammys. Her total Grammy haul sits at 15, starting back in 2009 when she won best new artist.

    She has plenty of material to draw from — in the years since releasing her last record, Adele split from husband Simon Konecki after seven years together and recently began dating sports agent Rich Paul. 

  • WATCH | Adele drops ‘Easy on Me’ music video from much-awaited album ’30’

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: Grammy-winning singer Adele released the new song and music video for ‘Easy on Me’ from her much-awaited album ’30’ on Thursday.

    After a long wait of five years, the ‘Hello’ singer, who is known for her powerful vocals, is back with an emotional ballad that reflects on how she has grown over the years.

    As per The Hollywood Reporter, the ballad is the first single off her upcoming album titled ’30’, continuing the trend of naming her records after pivotal ages in her life.

    Adele during the chorus belts, “Go easy on me, baby. I was still a child. Didn’t get the chance to feel the world around me.”

    The song dropped just a day after the 33-year-old songstress revealed the release date of her album ’30’ is on November 19, almost six years to the day since she released her last record.

    Adele had previously teased ‘Easy on Me’ last week by posting a short black-and-white clip on Twitter of her cruising down the road as pages fly from the car seats, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

    In the recently released music video, the singer could be seen driving away from an empty house with her packed car. The video transitions to colour and shows the frame where Adele continues to sing with the music pages fluttering in the wind.

    The track release also comes after a year of her divorce from Simon Konecki, with whom she shares her nine-year-old son Angelo.

    The Hollywood Reporter obtained a statement of Adele from one of her recent interviews with Vogue, where she specified that she is not writing a “divorce” album.

    “He’s not one of my exes. He’s the dad of my child. It was more me divorcing myself. Just being like, ‘Bitch, fuckin’ hot mess, get your fuckin’ shit together!’” she explained.

    When announcing the album on her social media, the singer described it as her “ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life.”

    “When I was writing it, it was my friend who came over with a bottle of wine and a takeaway to cheer me up. My wise friend who always gives the best advice … The friend who’d stay up all night and just hold my hand while I’d sob relentlessly not knowing why,” she wrote.

    She added, “I’ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it. Home is where the heart is.”

    The upcoming album finds the singer working again with Greg Kurstin, who paired famously well with her on ’25’ — and Max Martin, Inflo (known for his work with Sault) and Swedish composer and producer Ludwig Goransson, who won an Academy Award for his ‘Black Panther’ score and has worked closely with Childish Gambino. There are no featured guests on the record.

    The title of ’30’ follows a pattern Adele has embraced since her debut album ’19’, in that each of her records is named after the age she was when she wrote it.

    The album will be her first in six years after ’25’ came out in 2015 and sold 11 million copies in America. Adele’s last two albums, ’25’ and ’21’, both won album of the year at the Grammys. Her total Grammy haul sits at 15, starting back in 2009 when she won best new artist.

    On the personal front, Adele and her ex-husband Simon Konecki finalised their divorce in March, nearly two years after they first split. The singer recently started dating sports agent Rich Paul.

  • Adele opens up about her upcoming album ’30’

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: Grammy-winning singer Adele recently opened up about her forthcoming album ’30’, her divorce and her inevitable return to the spotlight.

    As per Variety, Adele had her first sit-down interview in five years with British Vogue. The star, who gave her last one-on-one interview in 2016, said, “I have to sort of gear myself up to be famous again, which, famously, I don’t really like being.”

    In the past five years, the ‘Hello’ star has been raising her son Angelo and gotten married and divorced from her now ex-husband, Simon Konecki.

    Adele said the new album explains her life changes but is ultimately a letter to her now 9-year-old son.

    “My son has had a lot of questions. Really good questions, really innocent questions, that I just don’t have an answer for … (like) why can’t you still live together?… I just felt like I wanted to explain to him, through this record, when he’s in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness. It made him really unhappy sometimes. And that’s a real wound for me that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to heal,” she said.

    Adele married the businessman in 2018 when she was 30 — the titular name of the album — and said the record will encourage those lost in a relationship to move on.

    She said, “Can you imagine couples listening to it in the car? It’d be so awkward. I think a lot of women are going to be like, ‘I’m done.’”

    The star explained what she hopes for in ’30’, comparing it to her two previous blockbusters: “I was drunk as a fart on ’21’; I really don’t remember much, I just remember being really sad. On ’25,’ I was obviously sober as anything because I was a new mum. That one, I was sort of more in tune with what I thought people might want or not want. With this one, I made the very conscious decision to be like, for the first time in my life, actually, ‘What do I want?’”

    What she wanted, in part, was to resume working with Greg Kurstin, who paired famously well with her on ’25’, and Max Martin, Inflo (known for his work with Sault) and Swedish composer and producer Ludwig Goransson, who won an Academy Award for his ‘Black Panther’ score and has worked closely with Childish Gambino. There are no featured guests on the record.

    Ultimately, Adele said ’30’ contains a rollercoaster of emotion: “I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption. But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time.”

    Adele also appeared on the cover of the American edition of Vogue, with a completely different story as well as different cover shoots. It marks the first time the same person has fronted both Vogues simultaneously.

    ‘Easy On Me’, the first single from ’30’, is dropping on October 15.
