Picture this: it’s 2011. Adele is like, the hottest artist, all your best high school friends are in love with “21”, and you can’t seem to make it through the day without hearing “Set Fire to the Rain” or “Someone Like You” in the mall or your car or even when you hit “shuffle” on your new iPod Nano.
Eight years later, “Rolling in the Deep” has become the stuff of karaoke bars and Top 40 cover bands. “Hello” surpassed “Someone Like You” in fame quite some time ago, and its opening phrase, “hello, it’s me,” is on par with Lionel Richie’s “hello, is it me you’re looking for?” Somehow, Adele continues to unravel the center stitch of all our deepest emotions, whether they be heartbroken, pissed off, reminiscent, desperately in love, sassy, or…oh wait, that’s it. Within her jazzy, chart-topping soul songs, Adele never compromises on the emotion she communicates with her pure voice, and makes the music major in me fall in love…with music.
As Adele prepares to release new music once again, here are 7 of our favorites from her previous 3 albums: 19, 21, and 25.
This is, by far, my favorite Adele song, simply because that high chorus vocal is SO invigorating to listen to. Top that off with the fact that it’s just a nice, happy love song, and I’m sold!
This resonates with anyone who, though they watched a partner change, cheat, and take chances, still chose to “take the risk” and stand by them. The chorus string hits give the triplets an uneasy-yet-centered feeling and give power to the words of someone who’s so in love they’re willing to sacrifice themselves.
The smoky quality of Adele’s voice is most fully communicated in her stripped down pieces. “Daydreamer” is a simple love song, featuring her unique sound over two uncomplicated bass and guitar lines. This is the stuff of wedding dances and late night cuddles.
Beginning with the full piano lines Adele’s ballads are known for, “Hometown Glory” is a surprisingly refreshing break from her typical themes of love and heartbreak. Orchestra-powered lines like “the people I’ve met are the wonders of my world” evoke images of driving the streets of Los Angeles at night, watching the lights from Griffith, and just basking in the beauty of humanity.
I LOVE these opening brass lines. This song honestly makes me want to dance! I also love how she’s framed a goodbye with such a happy song, and given it this deep bass undertone to signify the impact this love left on her. “I’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready to love me again” is something I think we all felt after our first (or more recent) breakup.
Let’s be real – you’d be pissed if this wasn’t on the list.
This heart-wrenching ballad goes back and forth, back and forth in the aftermath of a breakup. Adele’s pointed tone cuts right into my soul, asking her lover “didn’t I give it all? […] I thought you loved me more than this.” She begs for him to come back, while wondering what she could’ve possibly done wrong.
As reported a few weeks back, Adele is ready to get back into the studio and release some new music! She recently filed for divorce from her husband of 5 years, so we are bound to get a new record from her!
Today was Apple’s annual iPhone reveal launch, and in the process they announced a few other services. In the announcement, Apple announced the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Additionally, they announced iPad, Apple Arcade, and the new Apple TV Plus price.
Apple TV Plus joins powerhouses Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu in offering a streaming service. Apple is also going to be competing with WarnerMedia’s HBO MAX and Disney’s new service, Disney Plus.
Disney will launch their service this November with a $6.99 offering for the stand-alone app and $12.99 bundle for Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu. HBO MAX is set to launch in the Spring of 2020, and according to CNET, could see a $15 price tag.
It was announced today that Apple Plus will launch on November 1, 2019 and will be priced at…$4.99! Just a few weeks ago, Apple released the trailer for their flagship program, The Morning Show, which you can watch here!
At just $5 a month, Apple is going in for the kill in the streaming game! Much like Amazon’s business model, Apple can afford to lose money or have small profit margins on their streaming offerings. If Apple can capitalize on their popularity, they will have a massive subscribers base.
Apple also announced that if you buy a new iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Apple TV you will get a year of Apple TV PLUS for free.
At the time of publishing, Apple Music has 26 Million subscribers. If Apple is able to get a tenth of that within their first year, they will be in good shape. Don’t be surprised if by the end of the year, Apple launches a bundle of iCloud, Apple Music, and Apple TV Plus for a competitive price.
If Apple is able to integrate Apple TV Plus into their services offering, they will be able to take a competitive advantage. As of now, I pay $20 a month for Apple Music and iCloud storage. If I were to subscribe to Apple News Plus and Apple TV Plus, I would be paying over $30 a month for just Apple services. Let’s not count my Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu subscriptions.
Apple needs to bundle their flagship offerings and make the price competitive. If Apple could get a bundle at or around $15 a month, I would jump on board!
The streaming war is on! They key to winning this war is simply content. Content has been key for a long time with Netflix and Amazon, but now you have 2 new major players in the game. Disney has announced a reboots like Lizzie McGuire coming to Disney Plus. Apple needs to grab a hit show on their network.
Side note: I am predicting that Friends will have a reboot before the end of 2020.

Adele is no stranger to using relationship tragedy as inspiration to her albums. The singer recently divorced her husband and sources are telling People that she is ready to begin releasing music.
“She is definitely getting ready both mentally and physically to promote new music. It seems it will happen later this year,” Popcrush quoted the source saying. “She talks about last year as a very difficult year, and she’s said in the past that creating new music is almost like therapy. You can tell that she is ready to share with her fans.”
One thing is for sure, Adele always crushes it when she releases new music. We can alway count on her to capture the mood of the listener.
Are you looking forward to Adele’s new music?

Ed Sheeran has announced that he plans to take a long-term hiatus from touring. The popstar wrapped up his “Dived” tour with a massive announcement.
“As you may or not know, I’ve been on the Divide tour for over two years now and this is the last day of the whole thing,” he started. “There is something very bittersweet about it. I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. This is my last gig for probably 18 months.”
“We’ve played all around the world. Glastonbury, Wembley Stadium … it’s been a wild one,” Sheeran continued. “I was told before I came on that now at the end of this tour I’ve played to nine million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever.”
The timing is a bit weird as he just released an EP called No. 6 Collaborations . Sheeran plans to spend time with his recently wed wife.
Former OneDirection member, Harry Styles, is hard at work on his sophomore solo album. His self-titled debut was a brilliant piece of work, so for me to say I am excited is an understatement.
While doing some press, Styles was asked by Rolling Stone Magazine if he would do a OneDirection reunion. While the singer didn’t say yes, he didn’t rule out a reunion.
“I don’t know. I don’t think I’d ever say I’d never do it again, because I don’t feel that way. If there’s a time when we all really want to do it, that’s the only time for us to do it, because I don’t think it should be about anything else other than the fact that we’re all like, ‘Hey, this was really fun. We should do this again.’ But until that time, I feel like I’m really enjoying making music and experimenting. I enjoy making music this way too much to see myself doing a full switch, to go back and do that again. Because I also think if we went back to doing things the same way, it wouldn’t be the same, anyway.”
In all honesty, I don’t think that Styles should do a full OneDirection reunion. In fact, I don’t think any of the former OneDirection members should commit to a full-time OneDirection reunion. An occasional tour and album would be nice, but it should be something to do when there is nothing else going for the guys.
Taylor Swift was the guest on CBS Sunday Morning and told the outlet that she wants to re-record her music. Her newest album, Lover, comes out Friday.
On July 1, it was announced that Scooter Braun had purchased Big Machine Music Group from Scott Borchetta. Big Machine owns all of Taylor Swift’s master recordings. Swift has had a feud with Braun for years and see this as a direct threat to her music future.
Swift posted in a Tumblr blog that she should have been given the option to purchase her masters from Big Machine, but Borchetta did not give her the chance.
