Adele’s Easy On Me, has dropped as promised, on Friday 15th October 2021. She dropped the new song along with an accompanying video altogether on Friday, and fans seem cannot get enough of it.
Adele’s Easy On Me, which is her first for almost six years, has already lighted up the social media, as she hits the trending list on Twitter.
In the song, the first single from her upcoming album “30,” Adele croons about the passage of time and feeling stuck in a relationship over a gentle piano melody. The music video, which starts off in black-and-white, starts at the same location Adele used in her video for 2015 hit single “Hello.”
In Adele’s Easy on Me,” saw her taking a phone call on a windy day before getting in a truck and driving down a country road. Sheets of music fly out the backseat as she plays a cassette tape. Eventually, colour seeps into her world.
“Go easy on me, baby,” she sings. “I was still a child / Didn’t get the chance to feel the world around me / Had no time to choose what I chose to do / So go easy on me.”
“Easy on Me” comes a day after Adele announced on social media she’s “ready to finally” release “30” on Nov. 19. In the announcement, Adele said she started work on the album nearly three years ago.
“I’ve learned a lot of blistering truths about myself along the way,” she shared in a statement on Twitter and Instagram Wednesday.
“I’ve shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones. Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I’ve finally found my feeling again. I’d go so far as to say that I’ve never felt more peaceful in my life.”
Since her last studio album dropped in 2015, Adele married and divorced Simon Konecki. In her statement, she referred to her album as the “friend” who got her through the “most turbulent period of my life.”
And then that friend who no matter what, checked in on me even though I’d stopped checking in with them because I’d become so consumed with my own grief. I’ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it,” she wrote.
