And Adele is really feeling her Saturn return on this album.
You got to reparent yourself (laughter), learn how to be a human being again. You know, that's when the planets are back where they were when you were first born. I really enjoyed this album, mainly 'cause I'm a sucker for music made in a Saturn return. You know, she's no longer leaning just on those powerhouse vocals, like you said, Stephen, but really trying to experiment with pairing her voice and this, like, new rendition of her voice to new sounds and exploring what feels good to her. I feel like this is Adele as we've never really seen her. But this album actually is a huge 180 from what we expect from Adele in a good way. So when "Easy On Me" came out, I was like, OK, this is more of Adele as Adele - you know, nothing new, no new sound. LaTesha, you have written about Adele for NPR Music. "30" also follows her recovery from the damage to her vocal cords that forced Adele to cancel dates on her 2017 tour. THOMPSON: The songs on "30" find Adele reflecting on her divorce in songs that don't shy away from emotional vulnerability or deep melancholy. I was still a child, didn't get the chance to. In 2008, "19" made her a star thanks to hits like "Chasing Pavements" and "Hometown Glory." "21" made her a superstar on the strength of modern standards, like "Rolling In The Deep" and "Someone Like You." "25" was another massive record back in 2015, with huge hits like "Hello" and "When We Were Young." And now "30" has already produced another blockbuster hit with "Easy On Me."ĪDELE: (Singing) Go easy on me, baby. So Adele's studio albums all have numerical titles that roughly correspond with the age she was when she recorded them, and all of them have been blockbusters. THOMPSON: Joining me is NPR Music editorial assistant LaTesha Harris. I'm Stephen Thompson, and today we are talking about Adele on POP CULTURE HAPPY HOUR from NPR. It's called "30." It chronicles the emotional aftermath of the singer's divorce. pop star has put out her fourth studio album. Her last two records combined sold more than 25 million copies, and both won album of the year at the Grammys. Meanwhile, the OSTs sound amazing and some of you may agree.Adele is one of the most successful artists of her generation. This is more for a therapeutic cleanse on women’s desires in general. I’m sorta torn on GoM, as it’s still ongoing, I’m curious if the lead female will stay married or not? I don’t really care for any of the leading males. Upcoming, I know Jong Suk stars in a film called No Breathing with ♥Seo In Guk♥ too but you know where my bias stands. His voice is nice yet I’m still unimpressed, nonetheless I plan to watch IHYV for Lee Bo Young. All I see are unnatural facial expressions.
He has more PS done to him than Jung Il Woo. I still don’t get what’s all the hypes about on this rising actor, Lee Jong Suk. I’ve set them aside for a rainy day though.
