Adele said ‘Hello’

Even though I am not very good with musical instrument, I know for a fact that any good music takes a good amount of time to be born, from hours to weeks to months to years depending on the performing talent. The British singer and songwriter; Adele is one very good example of this factor. In 2011 she released her worldwide hit-single ‘Skyfall’ for a JamesBond Movie and won the Academy award for that song. Ever since that she didn’t come-up with any major album or single but constantly updated her audience in social media about a working title in progress.

            On late October she posted an open letter to her fans stating her current emotional feeling about the new album

  

            Most of her songs are based on Love-failures but for the first she promised that this would be a make-up album for everything that was lost. It’s such a beautiful concept. Until late October, the Canadian rap artist; Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ was supposed to top #1 Billboard and Drake personally told in an interview that this would be the highest moment of his career, then eventually Adele said ‘Hello’ from her new upcoming album titled ‘25’.

            “Hello” immediately went to No. 1 on the Billboard chart (good music always does). As the dust settled after all the hype and the first week sales number showed impressive results with 1.11 million downloads breaking all previous records, it is the first song in digital download history to reach that number and this is just one song from the upcoming album. Industry analyst and experts believe that ‘25’ will break all previous records and this song has personally pissed off so many competitors in sales. In the end she continues to prove that talent and content is what really matters in creating an artwork, you can invest millions of dollars on advertising but people will eventually buy for the content and keep the sales running. How it feels to you is all that matters, ‘Hello’ felt really good.
