    O álbum mais pessoal da cantora traz um pop que flerta com o blues, o jazz e o Soul. De forma elegante e intima, há glamour, poesia e excelência em todas as músicas. Letras sensíveis em baladas românticas nos contagiam de forma doce e reconfortante. Não é só o retorno da voz mais poderosa da indústria atual, é o álbum da década.

    The best album of her career. It’s a mix about feelings, voice, soul, a little bit of jazz and pop. Amazing!

    There are only 4 good songs that would be anthems like most of her previous work. The rest of the songs are simply not up to Adele's standards.

    30 is undoubtedly her best album yet. So raw and beautifully written, it takes us on a journey of what Adele has been through these six past years, and every song is perfectly put to explain her story and express her feelings

This album's none of everything Adele's ever has done. Mature on all levels. The bravura of ethereal modern pop mixed with the angst of past—the BEST of both worlds. A herald of articulate, emotional needs of our beings. Huzzah to 30; huzzah to real artistry! The GOAT. Leaving no stone unturned, no lie unbleached, no note unsung, 30 can never be a surfeit of emotions: an hour nothing but ADELE on her PRIME. Crying operatic soliloquies of prayers with towering heights of necessity for acknowledgment. If anything, this is her best. 10/10.… Expand

    Let’s face it, this album goes further. It is a complex work and it will take a little longer to understand it, perhaps we will never succeed because we are not her. It's an introspective journey that makes you think a lot, whether you are a mother or a child. I'm not surprised it doesn't works to those who just listen to it for the sake of it, it's too personal.

It's an introspective journey that makes you think a lot, whether you are a mother or a child. I'm not surprised it doesn't works to those who just listen to it for the sake of it, it's too personal. It is difficult to reflect on these lyrics and sounds as it could be done with the previous album, this work did not have these pretensions. But most of all, we got something different, going beyond the taste of the mass. A very mature personal artistic research. The experimentation: the cinematic introduction, the dialogues with the son who recorded for therapy, the jazz sample, the six minutes songs because in her there is an urgent need to tell about herself.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow. Wow wow wow. I didn’t think i would love this album so much. For sure, no doubts my fav Adele album. She was soooo experimental with it. It sounds so new and fresh but still quintessential Adele. She made the songs sound happy and sad at the same time how is that even possible. And I love the message behind her songs. Every song is so unique and adorable. A 10/10 album. Will be streaming.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El álbum tiene influencias clásicas de Adele, como el soul clásico de Fitzgerald, pero con el toque moderno de Adele e influencias modernas como Ms. Lauryn Hill, Janelle Monáe. El álbum es como el soundtrack de reconciliación con la vida, que empieza con la introducción mágica d Strangers By nature y termina con un sonido esperanzador de Love Is A Losing Game. Además las cuerdas, algo clásico en el sonido de la música de Adele, jamás sonaron tan evolucionadas, clásicas, frescas y complejas como en '30'.Sin duda alguna es su mejor trabajo.… Expand

    This album is very artistic, her best album.
    But a certain fandom is collapsing against Adele, just for breaking the records of her favorite.

    Her best album yet! Adele takes her classic sound, some new production and deeper lyrics and creates one of the best albums of 2021. If ever it was doubted she would last, she had ended that debate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's legendary. The start with "Strangers by Nature" sounds like an opening of a Judy Garland movie. It was exquisitely produced by Ludwig Goränsson, is terrific, sofisticated and weirdly satisfying. The 50s vibe, her vocals, instrumental... everything. Then it goes to "Easy on Me", the only ballad of the album and surprisingly good. My little love is cathartic. To hear her dialog with her son, Angelo, is simply heartbreaking. I cried a lot with it. After it, "Cry your heart out" gives me "Right as rain" vibes. Kinda like an extremely satisfying reggae. Then, "Oh My God" is simply OMG! The hypnotic beat is simply not Adele at all, and it explores a known side of her: Hits. Together with this, country "Can I get it is pretty. The whistles are really cool to listen. It's like she wants us to cry and dance. The interlude is just fancy. Jazz vibes and Lo-Fi. It's pleasant. "Woman Like Me" is a diss track, and gives me Bossa vibes. "Hold on" is just rapture. The way the music grows throughout it is really amazing. An anthem to everyone who is going on something hard. After this rapture: "To be loved" is heaven. One of the most perfect vocals ever sung. Sounds really like Nina Simone, just piano and perfect vocals. It's over for "Someone like you", because this song is heaven. Nothing else left to say. Whitney is proud. To finish, "Love is a game" is like a movie is going to end. Barry Manilow, Edith Piaf and Bee Gees. It's the best last track ever made. Love is a game for fools to play. And this is the best album by Adele. 30 is simply perfection.… Expand

    Despite her albums being snapshots, sometimes a little more diversity in subject matter would be a good thing. Ultimately, while some intriguing risks have been taken, 30 is probably the weakest, as well as conversely the most intimate and in many ways bravest, Adele album to date.

    There are no glaring missteps, and it’s generally a very good effort from a singer who could have crumbled under the pressure of heightened expectations, but instead continues on the path she forged for herself.
