    she was completely open and honest about her feelings. it's an album that we can feel her pain and her passion at the same time. it's so pure the way she wrote and sang every single song.

    She caves into the clamour of her music critics and attempts a few upbeat tracks with somewhat reggae and country influence. It's distinct, and it's where the album feels nadiral. But don't get me wrong, experimenting with her sound was a brave and respectable choice. This is a solid record, and the songs sound like they're gonna stick for quite a while.    … Expand

    Adele truly outdid herself with her fourth studio album “30”. It’s not only a tribute to historical characters on music, such as Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, but this is also a vocal album delivery; her best one so far.

From her very first song on the album “Strangers Like Me” you can clearly tell that the album feels with an oldie vibe, but it’s just amazing and incredible how it works so well. Then “Easy On Me” and “My Little Love” start to melt your heart, it almost feels as if Adele was lulling us with her vulnerability. “Cry Your Heart Out”, “Oh My God” and “Can I Get It” lift us all up to cry our hearts out, to dance, and to whistle. “I Drink Wine” makes us appreciate what is already gone, but that remains forever in the memory, disregards if it was good of bad. “All Night Parking” is the perfect way of preparing us all for the remaining 4 songs on the album, and of course, the best ones. “Woman Like Me” is the empowerment of a woman, an incredible transition from what we hear so far, “Hold On” is already an anthem. I can see how the children will be playing it as our generation played Imagine by John Lennon. “To Be Loved” is an amazing vocal performance, but also, her most heart melting song on the album. You will definitely cry at this point. And then “Love Is A Game”, the amount of rhythms and instrumental quality happening on this song is unbelievable. The best outro an album can deliver, without-a-doubt. Album of the year. Yes and yes. Adele never disappoints, and I believe that the reason behind it is because she does music from the bottom of her heart, and it speaks by itself. I’m sure it’s not only me, but everybody have felt at least one of her songs. She has the power of making you feel the things she felt when she dealt with them. And that’s what true art is. Adele is true art.… Expand

    30 is one of the most flawless and personal albums I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, this is definitely Adele's greatest work to date. 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

    It was pretty scary to think Adele couldn’t be able to surpass the warmness of 19, the greatness of 21, and the success of 25 yet, here we are with 30, the perfect combination of all these three things that have led to her new peak.

It’s deeply raw, terrifyingly personal, and strangely calming. Throughout the album, Adele proves again the chumps of being one of the greatest vocalists since Whitney Houston. She explores new sounds while still keeping her signature sound, her comforting warmth. We are right there next to her, just as if we were sitting on a luxurious beige L-shaped sofa with cups full of red wine, face masks, and pajamas with the rain knocking against the window. Passionate confessions from a woman who proved herself to be one for the history books.… Expand

    30 is so vulnerable that, I felt everything Adele sang about, something that hardly happens to me, especially with albums. My best tracks are To Be Loved, it is so deep that I saw my self hugging myself after the first listen. I’m glad she is not in that state of mind at the moment, I’m happy for her.

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

    it's so beautiful to see someone being able to evolve their music without losing its essence.
    30 is proof of that. each song more unique than the other.
    to be love is my favorite song in the album.

    It is a personal album. I love the voice notes added in between the song. The whole album is a roller coaster of emotions.

    My personal favorite is the opening and closing song of the album - Strangers by Nature and Love is a Game.

    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.
