Adele released the first single from her hotly anticpated new album today (Friday, October 15), but is it really worth all this hype?
30, will be released in November, but single Easy On Me, about the pain she felt following her divorce from husband Simon Konecki is out now.
It’s been received with much fan fare. On Twitter one fan wrote: “Adele’s new song Easy on Me is easily the best song in the last 20 years. Wow, instant tears. Adele is a legend.”
Another simply wrote: “Sublime,” meanwhile more said it was “perfect” and “beautiful”.

Let me start by saying Adele is incredibly talented. She has a powerhouse voice that would put my karaoke vocals firmly in the corner where they belong.
I’m sure she’s also a great person, I know her recent Instagram live was funny, and I wish I had her commitment to fitness and the gym.
However, for me, her songs are all rather samey.
I appreciate they tell the stories of the time she was in her life when she wrote it. The most recent chronicling her divorce and rebuilding her life.
Easy On Me, will no doubt become an anthem for the heartbroken. But then again, aren’t most of her songs like that?
