Stream: Adele - Hello (The Phoenician Remix)

Adele's Hello to the world and her 25 album era is breaking records like no other and she is everywhere and will be so for the next few years. Luckily for us all at the core of it all there is solid music and a fun approach to it all. Swiss producer The Phoenician has taken the grief of missing an ex in vain and gone *tropical*. Don't mind if we do! Ain't nothing wrong with holding a big umbrella drink in one hand and then crying into your flip phone with the other. The added oomph this bootleg brings is really great, too. It shows how grief and sorrow needs a break sometimes - without disrespecting your own feelings. And the added production is really cool. It's groovy and makes you wanna d.a.n.c.e. 'til your heart feels OK again. ENJOY! 

Adele - Hello & When We Were Young - Live @ SNL

Adele is having a fantastic release week of 25, of course she is - she's AMAZING. In the US alone she sold 900K copies on iTunes in ONE day. We cannot wait to see the global sales next week - they'll be unreal. She performed Hello and When We Were Young and also saved Thanksgiving on SNL last night. She might as well rename herself as SLAYDELE as she slayed everyone. Sounding fantastic and so effortless and amazin'. She deserves it ALL - she's incredible. ENJOY below! 

Premiere: Adele - When We Were Young (Live at The Church Studios)

While the world waits with bated breath for Adele to drop her 25 album in three days - here's something to tide ya over. We're getting a live version of a never before heard track - When We Were Young. We like the fact that with Adele it's focus on the music. It kinda feels like it must've been when Michael Jackson followed up Thriller with Bad. But in this case it's music first and image later. In a low key setting we're getting a taste of that immense talent of hers. It's wistful, not as catchy as Hello but still moving + the ending is too cute. Enjoy! Thoughts? 

Stream: Adele - Hello (Morten Remix)

Adele's not so subtle way of saying Hello has impacted the world, big time, breaking records in the process. Selling over 1 million downloads in a week in the US for instance and becoming the biggest seller in 15 years. It's well deserved as it's a stellar track and damn it, such an earworm. Danish producer Morten has tweaked 'dele's melancholy into a more upbeat bootleg house number. It's like Adele is out with friends and chatting about love with friends over drinks and trying to dance her pain away. Very effective and infectious. Enjoooy!  

Video Premiere: Adele - Hello

Hello, Adele is back with her first single from her upcoming album 25. Her last single, Bond theme Skyfall, won her an Oscar so wow, this is really quite the follow up. Considering last album 21 was the world's best selling album two years in a row as well in '11-'12. With this information it's easy to get lost in it and lose focus on what really matters - the song. Strip away all the accolades and you still have one hell of a songwriter, storyteller and singer in Adele. Hello is a stirring track that tugs at every heartstring possible. The bombastic chrous paired with her sadness in the verses is really touching and it sounds like really classic Adele. The sepia tone of the video along with the flip phones makes it look like a faded memory that comes back to haunt and of course - hurting someone at a young age can really mess with your mind as an adult in ways never thought possible. Welcome back Ms. Adkins - you've been missed!
