After six years of silence, Adele is again a worldwide sensation. In October, she released the song “Easy On Me”, and a month later her new album entitled “30” was released.
He is the fourth in the career of the British singer after “19”, “21” and “25”. In case you forgot, the numbers correspond to the age at which Adele started writing them. She is now 33, that is, she has been working on her latest production for three years.
“19” is about love, but also about the disappointments around it. “I called album 19 because I couldn’t think of anything else!” The singer recalled. “21” is about parting, and the most memorable hit in it is “Someone Like You”. “This song brings together everything I felt for my ex-boyfriend,” says Adele.
And “25” describes it this way: “This album is a longing for my old self. Nostalgia and melancholy for times gone by. There’s a certain darkness in it, but I like to dramatize. It’s about how I feel, not how someone it made me feel. If “21” was about separation, “25” is about reconciling with yourself and lost time. “
In “30”, Adele is again inspired by the separation – this time with her husband Simon Koneki. In the single “Easy On Me”, she addresses both her ex-husband and her nine-year-old son, explaining to him why she can’t be with her father.

“When I sat down to write the album, my condition was terrible. And instead of diving into a safe routine for me, I deliberately and willingly threw myself into the maze of inner confusion. My life was falling apart, and I didn’t even realize it. With my husband. We kept the divorce a secret for a long time because of the child. I am a girl with a broken heart, but I am alive, happy and moving forward. “
Before the release of “30”, Adele had not released anything since 2015 and rarely appeared in public. The reason is simple: she devoted herself to the upbringing and education of her child Angelo. In 2017, he gave his last concert (until this fall) and announced that he would disappear in a few years. “I’m taking a break and I’ll just be a mother,” the star said.
And when she stepped on the big stage again, even some of her most ardent fans could hardly recognize her. She has lost weight and changed a lot.

The divorce took place in 2018, after which Adele set to work on the new album to dispel the grief of separation, and began to play sports actively.
“I was in grief. The decision to divorce broke my heart. I was losing weight from the worries. I started training to feel better. I didn’t think about losing weight. I just wanted to get stronger. I try to spend as much as possible. time without a phone.I now train two or three times a day.In the morning – strength training, in the afternoon – a walk or boxing, and in the evening – a walk or cardio.I needed a hobby to put my head back in its place.I could even start knit, but I found another activity. “
As a result of the training, Adele has lost 45-50 kilograms since the times when she was the fullest. “I know I look very, very different. It’s like I flew into my own body for the first time in my life. People lost the thread of my transformation because it took me about two years. Everyone is shocked because I didn’t share the weight loss process in social networks. “
Adele and alcohol
Adele + alcohol = a long and complicated relationship. The singer has never hidden that she loves to drink. She even created a Twitter account for “drunk” tweets. She shared that alcohol helps her cope with stress and despair. She admits that many of her songs were written “in degrees”. And especially in “21” there is not a single song that is created on a sober head: “I was not on my own when I wrote this album. The most honest is the drunken language. I drank a few bottles of wine and smoked constantly while writing the lyrics. The next morning I read them and thought, “Damn, it’s not bad at all!” And I was already sober about the music. I can ruin myself more like that. “
Adele’s alcoholism is also inherited. Her late father was also addicted and left the family when the future singer was only three years old. In 2012, she said, “If I ever see him, I’ll spit in his face.”
The two managed to get along in the last year or two, but her father died in May.
“I always wanted to know what alcohol was so good about that it made my dad leave us. It was interesting and I was fascinated by learning.”
At one point, Adele realizes that drinking is pushing her into the abyss. During a concert she drinks between songs and at the end she is so drunk that she forgets the lyrics. The light turns red, it’s time to wake up and stop.
The hangover often provokes anxiety and panic attacks, and alcohol does not reflect well on her voice.
Although indirectly, her son also helps her stop drinking.
“A hangover with a child is a real torture. Just imagine an annoying 3-year-old boy who feels something is wrong with you. It’s hell. I’m afraid of many things because I don’t want to die. I want to be with the child. its as long as possible. “
With a clear mind, a desire to work and a new love in the face of manager Paul Rich, Adele has a firm intention not to return to her old habits. However, one thing has not changed with her for decades – her love for Tottenham.
Born and raised in North London, the singer continues to be crazy about “spurs”. She is full of hope that Antonio Conte will be able to revive the team and bring it back to where it was in the best period of Mauricio Pochettino.
And shortly before the Italian took the helm, Adele greeted fans with a video on social media, in which she sang the team’s anthem. “Happy Monday, Tottenham fans,” she wrote in late October.
