Adele’s “Hello” smashes records making it the ultimate comeback song
After four years of hiatus, British singer Adele is back and better than ever. She recently released a new single, “Hello,” and as she gets ready to put out her third studio album, 25, on Nov. 20, the world is ready for her dramatic voice and her heart-breaking ballads that can make the toughest of people cry. People are ready to live the Adele experience all over again.
“Hello” was released without any type of press and despite that, it still smashed records; the first song to get one million U.S. downloads in its first week and went to number one on several charts. It was the ultimate comeback. The song’s meaning coming from Adele: It’s not about any lost love or the guy who inspired 21; it’s about reconnecting and regrouping with herself. A pleasant change from the singer behind the ultimate break up record. She performed “Hello” live for the first time on her BBC special Adele at the BBC. In true Adele fashion, it was flawless.
It’s been four long years of waiting for 25. A lot has changed: the music industry has changed, and Adele herself has changed. Even with all the change, there is always room in the market for someone with that immense amount of talent.
