    Lo que más me gusta es leer "criticas" de gente que se embarca en "sigue sonando como en sus anteriores discos", como si fuera obligatorio tener que hacer lo que ellos dicen que Adele debería hacer...Como pedirle a Frank Sinatra que hiciera Pop electrónico.

Adele tiene la gran ventaja de HACER LO QUE SE LE ANTOJA Y QUIERE y NO lo que "la industria le pide que haga" y o explica muy bien en una entrevista: "NO voy a hacer música para Tik Tok". "30" es un album simplemente MARAVILLOSO, el mejor de ADELE de toda su carrera sin dudas. Su voz en primerísimo plano da una sensación de calidez que es increíble. Se mete con sonidos que no había incluido en sus discos anteriores y sale airosa como si cualquier cosa le quedara bien. Por momentos te remonta a la época dorada de Hollywood con un "Strangers by nature" o “All Night Parking”, después te hace bailar con “Oh My God" o “Cry Your Heart Out”, para devolverte a sus baladas con letras que te tocan en lo más íntimo y te hace pensar en miles de cosas.
    Quizás el mundo está demasiado metido en la inmediatez, la rapidez, el "descarte" acelerado de todo eso que nos rodea y nos cuesta bajar un poco, cerrar los ojos y pensar que es bueno ponerse unos auriculares, cerrar los ojos y PENSAR en lo que se está escuchando.
    Adele entrega SU disco más sentido, SU músicas más sensible, SU arte...No es nuestro, no es para "quedar bien con aquellos que pretenden Gaga y Madonna revolviendo un postre instantáneo".
    Otro detalle que se agradece: los varios temas de más de 6 minutos de duración...eso permite que logres sumergirte en lo que se quiere expresar.

    She gave us what some artists always try when they say they're releasing a dark album. My Little Love, I Drink Wine and Woman Like Me are the highlights.

    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.

    Her best body of work to date, and definitely her most experimental - and it's nicely done. A cohesive album, and I love how her voice is in this album.

    Stand-Out Tracks: My Little Love, Oh My God, Can I Get It, Easy On Me

    Doloroso, maduro, expressivo, grandioso, transcendente. Não há palavras que expressem nem adjetivos que caracterizem esse álbum. Em meio a agonia e a solidão, Adele consegue ultrapassar as barreiras, se soerguer, olhar para si e perceber que tudo são águas passadas, que as reviravoltas são apenas lembranças e que sendo uma sonhadora por natureza, há algo sempre melhor a nos esperar.

    Os sons de clássicos Disney, passando pelo melhor do Soul (sua característica primordial), derramando-se em lágrimas no R&B e dançando sobre a dor com músicas pop... É Adele em sua mais sublime complexidade, que encanta, mexe com nossas vidas. Pois sua música não é reflexo apenas da garota de Tottenham que evolui. É reflexo da agonia e do renascimento de cada ser humano.
    Se houve algo mais divino produzido pelo homem, Adele chegou a estaca final do Paraíso.    … Expand

    I thought she couldn't make an album better than 21, no one could, but she did it. 30 is by far the best album of the century. So much diversity. No skips.

    This is Adele's most mature album and shows how much she has grown since the girl that she was beginning with 19. I cannot say enough about how time has seemed to improve her vocals, she sounds stronger than she ever has and that is coupled with a new-found candor she inflects in every song.

I cannot say enough about how time has seemed to improve her vocals, she sounds stronger than she ever has and that is coupled with a new-found candor she inflects in every song. This album is her journey through leaving her marriage and from beginning to end, she makes it clear how she feels. My favorite song is "My Little Love" because there is something about the vulnerability she displays and the courage it takes to show those conversations she had with her son. in the objectification that she has made this album for her son to understand what she was going through, she succeeds in driving that point home. Her voice is as timeless as ever and she has grown and risen to the occasion of crafting an album that stays true to herself in a time where it is so easy to make something just to please the masses. This sounds like Adele and her voice is the forefront and driving force of the album and proves why she is the global superstar that she is.… Expand

    The album we all need after this pandemic. This truly feels like a gift to humanity. Lyrically her most raw and unfiltered work, it is pure, unbridled vulnerability. Even more, the production and instrumentation is more polished than ever. This is more than deserving of all the praise it’s getting, truly a masterpiece.

    Después de escuchar 30 un par de veces, solo puedo decir que Adele hizo una master piece y que desde hoy es mi álbum favorito de todos los que ha lanzado hasta la fecha. Siento que con este álbum Adele puede cerrar el ciclo de desamor y lanzarse a un proyecto más atrevido en el futuro. 10/10 para 30.

    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 lyrics are exceptional they are just so deeply personal, beautifully raw, and heartwrenching; obviously she has always been very personal with her music but it really feels like she poured every bit of her heart and soul into this album giving us a candid look into just what she's been through the last couple years and how much she's struggled and still struggles. Her vocal performances on this album are remarkable and beautiful, just flawless she's never sounded better and stronger also love how she vocally experimented more. The production is outstanding, love the cinematic quality; I really love how she experimented with different sounds and genres on this album and doing more upbeat music while still having her classic slower and ballad type songs she in my opinion really pulled it off. The artwork as always is simple but effective and very beautifully photographed. Also I thought the voice notes on some of the songs were a nice touch that made the album feel just that bit more personal. This is by far the best album I've heard all year, just absolutely perfect an A+ album, and definitely one of the all-time greatest albums I've ever heard.… Expand

    Adele is evolving while giving the general public her classic sound. This album is not ALL piano ballads and there is some experimental sounds for adele, some more pop other more blues, it’s a beautiful journey from start to finish with no skips.

    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.
