Six excruciatingly long years after we last had new tunes from the 15-time Grammy winner, Adele had mercy on her legions of fans by releasing her new single.

Up until now, the hardest part of being an Adele fan is how long she makes you wait for new music.īut, finally, the pop superstar is making it easy on us. But the familiarity is warmly comforting after the last two years. Musically, “Easy on Me” doesn’t break any new ground for the singer. It’s the kind of phrasing choice, perfectly executed with just the slightest hint of imperfection that comes from the real, raw emotion for which she is famous. The way she slides up to “easy” alone is enough to separate her from every other singer out there.

(Given that a lot of the songs on this album are about nostalgia for childhood and the past.) Otherwise, you might as well just call the fucking album Old. This song was originally titled “We Ain’t Kids No More,” but at the last minute, at the encouragement of her manager, Adele decided to change it. It was listening to Taylor Swift with songwriter Ryan Tedder that led her to discover their prominence in the pop landscape.

Prior to this record, however, Adele hadn’t heard of Max Martin or Shellback. This is a more upbeat, straight-pop record for Adele, which makes sense considering the super producers behind the sound. With Max Martin and Shellback, we knocked that out in a day. I used to cover ‘Wonderful World’ doing that riff. I’ve had that guitar bass line since I was, like, 15. Adele wrote “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” in collaboration with Max Martin and Shellback for her third album 25.Īdele played guitar on the record, and it was this riff that began the song.
