Heard Adele new song today on the radio and again on the lunch time BBC news, which everyone is raving about, but DH and I couldn't understand a word she was saying? We have previously liked her music but don't think I will be rushing to download this one. Also is it "News" that she has released another album? What do others think?

DH said the same this morning. “That’s not news, it’s advertising. “

I understand that the album's about her divorce. How uplifting! Her ex-husband must be thrilled!

I heard it yesterday. I had the same thought as 62granny! I could not understand what she was saying and did not care for the song.

I’m not a fan of Adele’s singing, Skyfall was dreadful. Her noisy breathing put me off.

I'm not sure why this was on the evening news confused

Nor me Kate.

Who?

I quite liked her and her earlier music but she seems to have taken all the hype seriously. Her poor son having his father publicly shamed. Anything to make more $$$. As if she hasn’t got more than enough already.

Just saw it on the News.

I couldn’t tell what the words were either.

I like her music but don’t like what she’s done to her face.

It sounds like almost every other Adele song. I am afraid it doesn’t give me goosebumps so I doubt it will make a huge impression on the charts.

I like Adele, I have listened to the new song, not sure about it yet, maybe I need to listen to it a few more times, she does keep reiterating a lot of personal stuff, best kept under wraps imo, a little bit tedious at times.

I think she likes to showcase her nails in her videos!

Kate1949 Fri 15-Oct-21 19:04:36

I have always loved her voice. Kamiso I agree. Her poor son. She was quoted this week as saying that she consciously decided to dismantle her son's life and put her own happiness first.

I am not a fan. She doesn’t sing, she whines.

Poppyred Fri 15-Oct-21 19:34:57

It’s a lovely song.

Jaxjacky Fri 15-Oct-21 19:44:25

BBbevan agree, are the BBC her publicists?

Smileless2012 Fri 15-Oct-21 19:45:21

Never been a fan either.

Casdon Fri 15-Oct-21 19:48:52

Adele had the two best selling albums in the last 10 years in the UK, and this is her first album for 6 years, that’s why it’s news. I like the song.

lemsip Fri 15-Oct-21 19:50:50

If you didn't know it before then it's news.

Millie22 Fri 15-Oct-21 19:53:10

It's about time she sang a cheery song. We don't need to know all about her divorce.

Mattsmum2 Fri 15-Oct-21 19:57:37

I think it’s great, and yes it’s about her sadness but she notoriously writes good sings when hurt. She’s a huge talent that should be applauded. She has done some really jolly songs too, Send my love is lovely.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 15-Oct-21 20:40:15

I’m not a fan either. I think she is very overrated.

Fleur20 Fri 15-Oct-21 22:53:17

Love love LOVE Adele......?

Adele was on the main ten o clock news tonight; her album seemingly is to 'explain to her son about her divorce'. I truly have nothing against this beautiful woman who is feted for her talents, but this sounded like self indulgent claptrap. How much is her son likely to appreicate an 'explanation' that millions will be listening to? It might be better to sit and talk to him about this private and undoubtedly painful event, and I am also surprised that this trivial matter got on to the main news of the evening, particularly given the terrible stabbing today of David Amess.
