30

Reviewed as a CD purchase also as I couldn't wait for the album to be delivered I wanted to listen to this at midnight, as soon as it was available, so I bought the digital version too. I cried my heart out it's so raw and pleading. It's horrible to hear such suffering but wrapped up in Adele's incredible voice, wit, and lyrical prowess it makes for a stunning piece of work.As my review on the CD:This album by Adele is a slight departure from her usual style. It is a soulful, bluesy, raw and beautiful cry from the soul. From the witty Can I Get It to the powerful and heartbreaking To Be Loved, Adele bares her soul in this confessional and personal Album. She takes some risks, and lets us in to a clearly turbulent time in her life. It's a more mature album and more mature vocals including her visceral voice-breaking when she cries out "let it be known" on To Be Loved. The voice notes with her angelic little son and Adele actually crying are soul-crushing. Hold On and Easy On Me are beautiful. The album is cinematic and retro in a sense with contemporary notes. Truly stunning work by Adele.

I bought this recently and am absolutely delighted with the album which shows a more mature and rounded Adele with more range to her voice other than a power ballad or full belter! There is still Adele’s classic story telling which is bravely open at times and very emotional. You can equally listen to this bowling along in the car or while chilling at home. I’m a fan and recommend this highly.

I am unashamedly obsessed with Adele & love everything she does. I loved every cd she brought out so far & 30 is fabulous. I love the bluesy sound & piano playing that is more prominent on this album. I have it on cd & downloaded it to my Alexa (my Prime would only play 4 tracks)I think her lyrics speak to normal people that have "lived" & are very relatable.You won't hear me say a bad word about the Goddess that is Adele or any of her music. Let's hope we don't have to wait so long for the next album!

Adele's new album doesn't disappoint, great songs and great arrangements she really is talented.Opted for the download instead of the CD and it was ready to play within seconds of the purchase completion so well done Amazon.

As i normally listen to rock/heavy metal i find listening to adele refreshingly different.. love her voice and her music. This is an okay album but the constant talking on it doe0s spoil the enjoyment of listening to her sing. I know a lot of her songs are about her trails of life but the talking is too much....

Some great songs

Fantastic to see Adele backA different type of album and some unbelievable song and some very sad and very current with everything going on in the world

Every album Adele made I said that is the best one... till 30 came along well done Adele you made me cry what an emotional, beautiful pulling at the heartstring album.
