Adele is at a roll as she releases a follow-up song to 'Hello' from her forthcoming album 25. She never falls short from what she is known for.
Potent vocals, sad and nostalgic music, and powerful emotions describe the music video of Adele's newest song When We Were Young. The song was released on Tuesday, November 17.
According to Billboard, 24 hours after teasing fans with 30 seconds of the song on the Australian show 60 Minutes, Adele released the song on VEVO. The song was written by Adele herself and Tobias Jesso, Jr. While We Were Young talks about reminiscing Adele's past relationship and regrets.
The video, shot at the Church Studios in London, was directed by award-winning director Paul Dugdale. It features Adele belting her vocal ability at a live recording version of the song. At the end of the video she says that 'she's changed'.
Her comeback single 'Hello' the video hit a new record of 27.7 views in VEVO for the first 24 hours, and in 48 hours, the video racked up to 50 million views. The video was directed by Xavier Dolan. In the US, the song bolted as No. 1 in the Billboard Charts. The song set a record for being the most downloaded song with 1 million downloads in a single week.
On the same day that Adele released the song, she teased her fans with another song at New York's Radio City Hall. As reported by Harper's Bazaar, the song Water Under the Bridge features strong percussion and heavy melodies while still keeping true to her style of music. The ballad is a more upbeat song than her other released songs.
"'Water Under the Bridge' is more like, I'm waiting for him to be horrible but I don't think he's gonna be, waiting for the relationship to end," she told DJ Zane Lowe, Bazaar reports. "This is the relationship now that I'm gonna be in. It was quite a groundbreaking moment."
Adele's "25" will be released this November 20.
