On September 22, 2011, the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, was full of people, and this landmark concert hall, which has been performed for 140 years, is about to leave a moving chapter in the history of music, and the protagonist of this performance is called Adele.
Perfect light and shadow effects, 17 sad mood songs with the world chorus, and the DVD album "Live At The Royal Albert Hall" that recorded the "most touching concert of the year" instantly became the highest-selling female music DVD in American history.
And "Someone Like You", which was sung by tens of thousands of people on the scene, attracted Adele's tears and became an eternal classic in the history of music, which echoed in our hearts for a long time.
Also in this year, newcomer Adele transformed gorgeously with her second album "21" and dominated the pop music scene with the posture of a diva. Winning the global sales championship for two consecutive years and sweeping six Grammy awards, Adele's classic "21" returned today and was officially pre-sold!
If "19" is Adele's youthful and fearless girl's manifesto, then "21" is her work towards maturity. Adele on this album has a richer life experience, expressing her 21-year-old parting speech.
The naming of the album adheres to the naming method of the first album "19", named after the age when Adele began to create, and also continued to the two subsequent albums "25" and "30", which not only has Adele's personal characteristics, but also allows fans to gradually understand her life course along the timeline.
As a well-deserved classic, "21" won the global sales championship for two consecutive years in 2011 and 2012, and helped Adele win six awards at the 54th Grammys, including Production of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Singer, Best Pop Album, and Best Short MV, setting a record for the first female singer in history to win four major awards in the general category.
A year later, at the 55th Grammys, Adele won the Best Pop Singer Award again for "Set Fire to the Rain" from the album, and "21" has cut a total of 7 Grammy gramophones.
In addition to the Grammy Awards, "21" has also won many world-class awards such as the 32nd Brit Music Awards, the Billboard Music Award, the French NRJ Music Award, and the Canada Juneau Awards, and is known as a representative pop music album since the 21st century.
Since its release in 2011, "21" has not only become the hottest album of the moment, but its influence has also lasted for several years, and "21" has pushed many high-quality albums to the top on the Billboard Ten Years Chart (2010-2019) on billboard.
The album's first single, "Rolling in the Deep," was inspired by Adele in the studio, and Adele said she suddenly thought of a melody that she kept repeating in her head, so she sang the first lyrics of the song.
The high pitch of the song breaks through Adele's previous limits, full of anger, revenge, heartbreak, self-reflection, and the "cool feeling" and "poking heart" when listening to it can always cause people to indulge in it, and can't help but sway with it.
The second single, "Someone Like You", was inspired by Adele's own broken relationship, which is about her slowly accepting and beginning to walk out of the relationship.
Adele wrote the song after hearing the news of her ex-boyfriend's marriage and completed the initial version of the song with an acoustic guitar as an instrument, while the final version of the song was accompanied by a piano, feminine and touching.
For the song "Set Fire to the Rain" that helped Adele win the 2013 Grammy Award, she has said that after writing this song, her own heart was broken, because the work she wrote was derived from real personal emotions and a heartbreaking emotional ending.
The Chinese literal translation of "Set Fire to the Rain" gives people a sense of enthusiasm and excitement, the lyrics use metaphorical techniques to describe the appearance of love, and at the end, Adele's ethereal voice is the finishing touch, expressing the tangled emotions of water and fire after love is broken.
Although only four albums have been released in the past ten years since his debut, these four wonderful and different works are also so "Adele", leaving a strong mark in the world pop music scene. And listening to "21" after Adele's "30" swept the world, will you still be moved by her boldness and determination?
