The only way to not get swept up in Hurricane Adele is to do nothing Adele is doing. Just put a hiatus on ballads and **** for at least a year. Don't directly go against her. Rih is lucky in the sense that she's excelled in multiple genres, and could promote herself with pop and urban bops with no problem. We still need to dance in a world of emotional songs, you know?
And that's an interesting point @Santaus. If she doesn't see the problem then welp
