wow @ carly rae jepsen coping with the pressure of a massively successful record better than adele.
Carly Rae Jepsen is a one-hit wonder. Adele put out one of the biggest albums of all-time. Nobody was thinking enough about Carly to put in pressure on her.
Call Me Maybe smashes and Carly lets it be, opting to challenge herself by advancing her sound rather than futilely attempting to recreate the magic of that song. She releases Emotion to widespread acclaim
21 smashes and Adele buckles under the pressure, ******** out an album that manages to be even more MOR than her first and second. Critics are unanimously underwhelmed.
I don't get why anyone would think 25 would be different from 21 to begin with. Not only because an artist like Adele doesn't need or will "revolutionize" her sound. but also she would never be stupid enough to do that with the follow-up of a unprecedentedly successful album. It's basically the same formula of a movie sequel.
Would you accept that Gaga was (objectively speaking) defeated by Katy???
During the CHARTDROP era yes.
But that was then and this is now.
