Adele has kept a pretty low profile since her smash hit, Grammy Award-winning album 21, but yesterday, the songstress reintroduced herself to the music world with a simple Hello.
That’s the title of Adele’s first single since Skyfall, the theme song to the James Bond film of the same name which debuted almost exactly three years ago. It has been closer to four years since she’s released a single from one of her own albums, but NME is reporting that the wait is finally over.
This latest single is off her new album 25, which is set to release on November 20, 2015, and you can check out the music video above. A tracklist (below) for the new record has also been released and on Monday (October 19), Adele tweeted an open letter to her fans, apologizing for the wait and detailing how she has grown/changed since we last heard from her. You can check that out here.
25 Tracklist:
Hello
Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
I Miss You
When We Were Young
Remedy
Water Under The Bridge
River Lea
Love In The Dark
Million Years Ago
All I Ask
Sweetest Devotion
Hello is the sort of cathartic ballad we’ve become used to hearing from Adele, but is no less impactful for being expected. While the song seems to be directed toward a former lover, its opening lines also work as a direct appeal to fans, and to the music world at large: “Hello, it’s me, I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet, to go over everything.”
Adele, along with Justin Timberlake and a handful of other artists, has the type of talent that can keep us bating our breath as we await her next project. Though the music loving public might have moved on from a lesser talent, it’s likely that this long period of radio silence has only heightened the anticipation for Hello and for 25.
Who could have ever imagined that one day we would be able to access the entire discographies of our favorite artists and albums right from our smartphones or tablets, no matter where we are in the world? This remarkable convenience is one of the many wonders of music streaming services, a revolution that has transformed the way we experience and enjoy music.
In today's digital age, numerous audio platforms have emerged, each offering unique features and catering to different tastes. Whether it's Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, or any of the myriad other options available, these services aim to deliver your beloved tracks, intriguing podcasts, hilarious comedy specials, and countless other sound bites directly to your ears with just a few taps on your screen.
Typically, when you create music, whether a full-fledged track, background music for another project, or even just playing around, you have to use a variety of tools. You might have to jump between applications to do various things, like recording, applying post-production effects, and more. Avid Pro Tools is a comprehensive end-to-end audio production suite that aims to provide you with everything you need. With the tools, you can create, edit, produce, mix, master, and deliver, and much more.
Here's the kicker: For New Year's you can save 33% off and make music for a full year at a heavily discounted price. Normally, you'd pay $99 per year for Avid Pro Tools Artist, but right now it's only $66 per year. That deal will only be available from December 31 to January 3, though, so there isn't a lot of time if you want to take advantage.
Let's settle a musical debate: which music streaming platform should you use: Spotify or Pandora?
Both services have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Spotify boasts a more extensive music catalog, robust social features for sharing and discovering music with friends, and a more polished user experience across devices.
