Adele has put out some of her best vocal performances this era (save the NRJ performance which is forgotten outside of ATRL). She doesn't want to be just a soul singer. She's coming for the powerhouses. Poor Patti, Henretha, Barbra and the rest.
Listening now and the Katy Perry, PRISM-level genericness and blandness of
"Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" and "Water Under The Bridge." Omfg.
I was only kidding the other day when I said Adele was desperate for success,
but those two songs prove it. Adele really is as desperate as Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
