OOOO

ver the past three years,

fans have waited for Adele
to release her next album. Now,
her new album 25 is out and
she still sounds as great as her
earlier albums. Like her previous,
Grammy-winning album 21,
there are no bad songs in this
album—they are all great. Just
like her earlier albums 21 and 19,
25 is named after the age that she
was when she made the album.
The album summarizes her life
so far and every song in it talks
about an aspect of her life.

The album begins with the

: first hit single from 25, “Hello.”
: The song’s music video shows
: Adele remembering a former

: boyfriend of hers as she goes

: through their former home.

The possible second hit

single of the album, “When

: We Were Young,” talks about

: her childhood. An interesting
: fact about this song is that one
: of the people who wrote it is
Da songwriter from Vancouver

: named Tobias Jesso Jr. The

: song “Million Years Ago” also

: talks about her childhood, and
: she references various people,

: including her friends and her

: mother, It reminded me of the
: Beatles song “In My Life.”

The album has more pop

: music than on 21, especially in

: songs like “Send My Love,” “I

: Miss You,’ and “Water Under

: the Bridge.” Also, there are a

: lot of orchestrations on the

: album, including the song “Love
: in the Dark,” which sounds

: like something that would fit

: in the score of Interstellar.

Ryan Tedder works with

: Adele again in the song “Remedy.”
: Bruno Mars, surprisingly,

: is one of the people that

: wrote the song “All I Ask.”

The album ends with the

: song “Sweetest Devotion,” which
: showcases Adele at her best.

: It sounds happier than album

: opener “Hello,” which is very sad.

Overall, 25 is a level

: up from 21 and, if you are
: a big fan of Adele, you will
: not be disappointed.
