First single off of the upcoming "25" album

Indeed, it's her best song so far.

I like it, though didn't watch the whole thing. 6 minutes is long for a music video.

Liked it. May preorder the album.

I don't mind it. It's good, but I've gone off listening to Adele's music now.

Who knows, I may appreciate listening to Adele again in the future.

edit: Capital Radio are playing a remixed version of the song. Don't know if it's on Youtube or not but it's more upbeat. Prefer that version.
edit 2: It's on youtube but I don't know exactly which remix it is. just search "adele hello remix" - it's one of the first ones

My CD arrived yesterday, so I'm only on my second or third listen, but I think I'm going to like this as much as 21. (prior album)

I love Adele’s music. I just admire this artist so much for her emotional honesty and for throwing everything she’s got into a performance.

With her new album “25” she has shattered all records, ever, for first week of sales. She is blowing away artists like Beyonce. I feel she deserves every bit of her success.

Why do I feel like I own her and her story? She reaches out to everyone. Every last one of us has been hurt in love, and she gives voice to it.

Personally the person I turn to for a truly amazing soul performance is Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes.

I like her because with all those talent shows all over the world, upcoming singers try to sound "good". They try to hit the right notes, but with no artistic interpretation at all.

Adele is great because she writes good lyrics and not only has a good voice and finds the right melody and rhythm for her songs, but also you get the sense that she means what she sings. That she doesn't just get a text and try to make it sound good. But you hear the different "modes" of her voice and her singing, and you know they have a meaning in relation to the specific line/word she's singing.

A truly wonderful artist.

She's one of those musicians that I always appreciate to the point that I listen to their music even without expecting anything, because I know it's not just about performance, but true artistic value and feeling. She doesn't just try to make it sound good, but sings how she feels it. And I'm sure she writes many more songs and sings them in a way which doesn't make hits, and just releases the "good" ones.

I really get the feeling that someone is communicating with me when I listen to her. She's brilliant.

I was listening to it the other day, I like it.

I'm very much looking forward to listening to 25. I see it's topping the charts and her concerts are sold out in a matter of minutes, but of course popularity isn't important.

I still frequently listen to her debut album 19. I think it's a solid record that gets better with every re-listen. I wish Adele all the best.

At what age do you figure she'll stop naming her albums after her age?

Not trying to be catty here, but it might not be quite so saleable to be 45 as it is to be 25.

I hope to see that one day. I'll be 99 then.
