    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.

    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

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 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

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 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

    When Adele said in 2017 that her new album would follow the sound of her song "when we were young", I never thought I would hear this completely new sound from Adele.

It's a bold bet for two reasons: I don't find a common thread in the different sounds of the album, which takes it away from calling it monotonous like her past work, however, I also think it's a departure from what more conservative fans are looking to hear from Adele. Another very strange thing is that Adele decided to sing songs like I drink wine, Easy on me, Hold on and Love is game to promote the album, which after listening to the whole album do not represent the sound of the album, which at times reminds me of Jorja Smith (All night parking), Celeste (My little love), Amy Winehouse (Cry your heart out), Yebba Smith (Oh my God), Whitney Houston (To be loved) and Sade (Woman like me) and a song from a cheap pop rockish band (Can I get it) that is probably the worst song in the album totally unnecessary. As for the lyrics, Adele knows what she's doing, and a couple of clichés won't ruin this album. Sometimes I can listen some sounds that you can find in “19” her first album which is nice.

    Not exactly the album I was expecting for a divorce album. I was getting ready to cry but instead I danced. Probably I misunderstood the kind of “divorce” she was talking about, maybe she is another Adele now.

    This time won’t be big singles, I couldn’t find another “Rolling in The Deep” or a “Someone like you” or a “Hello” but Adele sells anyway but only time will tell if the album is memorable enough or not.

    Not her best work yet. She can do better. Adele hasn’t reached the stars yet.    … Expand

    I only liked two songs (Oh My God and Can I Get It), the rest is like everything you heard on her previous three albums.

    Her best album yet. It was refreshing to hear and had a flawless tracklist. It has the best opener and ending for an album I've ever heard before.

    Best album yet, the themes are incredible and come through beautifully. Adele has collided with a modern music world and also a modern world bringing her age title album to ahead of all others

    This is adele's best album for numerous reasons, it shows her range in terms of musical styles, her vocal flexibility (if she has not already proven it before) as well as the massive improvement in her songwriting

    Worst Adele album by far! The voice is incredible, the lyrics ok but musically is mediocre at best.

    Adele's most versatile album! Oh My God, Can I Get It - cool tracks that make your body move. To Be Loved, My Little Love - Adele's classic compositions that makes you cry. Easy On Me, Strangers By Nature, Love is A Game, I Drink Wine - just simply beautiful but powerfull compositions, that sounds like perfect soundtracks for the movie. This is even more than I expected. 10 of 10

    Highlights of this album are upbeat songs: Cry Your Heart Out, Oh My God, Can I Get It, also Strangers By Nature. But there are two main reasons why I give this album only 6/10:
    1. Adele gave us absolutely nothing new, of course her vocals are on point, but lyrically nothing new
    2. Half of the songs from this album are unnecessary WAY TOO LONG, I was just asking: "Is it done yet?". Adele    Highlights of this album are upbeat songs: Cry Your Heart Out, Oh My God, Can I Get It, also Strangers By Nature. But there are two main reasons why I give this album only 6/10:

    2. Half of the songs from this album are unnecessary WAY TOO LONG, I was just asking: "Is it done yet?". Adele should better stick with the ballads that last about 4 minutes, but 7 minutes for a ballad is way too much.

    For her next album I think she should focus more on upbeat songs and to put less ballads. I would love to see that for a change.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Adele very creatively, sonically, artistically shut down her critics who criticized her for sticking to one genre, even though she never did, her albums have always been quite versatile in terms of the sound they have. 30 is Adele's best album, 6 years wait was completely worth it. I'm gobsmacked and I have no words to describe how excellently produced this album is, on top of which Adele's extraordinary vocal abilities and talent SHINE throughout. Strangers By Nature starts the album in the best possible way. The grand vibes that it gives off are incredible to start your album with. then Easy on me starts playing and you think about how you've loved this song so much for the last whole month. My Little Love is tear jerker, Adele wrote this song with her tears, love, adoration and affection she has towards her son. the most personal song by her in her whole career. Cry your heart out changes the tone of the album and does completely opposite to what you've expected while thinking about the song title. It's then topped by OH MY GOD, which is an AMAZING bop by adele, it shows another musical side of her that she doesn't always let out in her albums. Another bop comes along with it, Can I GET it, adele's voice is so sexy and gorgeous in this song. The whole mood of album changes with I Drink Wine, All Night Parking and Woman Like Me. She does so extraordinarily well in all these songs, you think she just outdid herself but then comes the HOLY TRINITY of this album, HOLD ON, TO BE LOVED and LOVE IS A GAME, cementing adele as one of the best vocalists we have and emphasising on the fact that she's one of the greatest music artists the world has ever seen. ALBUM that's so extraordinarily made, you just want to hug it. MASTERPIECE!!… Expand

In addition to the messages sent, this album draws a picture of the growth from lingering around comfort-zone music to seeking out and using her higher-level talent to write songs. Choosing this path, Adele chose challenging farmland to cultivate her musical plants, but she certainly will get the special gift from music and her soul.… 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.
