Adele is back! She has a brand new single and visual, and if this song is any indication of what her album is going to be like.
We are in for another Adele masterpiece.
According to USA Today, it’s been six years since the release of her last studio album “25,” the British singer-songwriter dropped a new song, “Easy on Me,” along with an accompanying music video.
In the song, 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 before transitioning into color, sees her on 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.
“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.”
The video for “Easy On Me,” is directed by Xavier Dolan, and was shot last month in Quebec and you will notice it starts in the same house she used in the video for her 2015 single, “Hello.”
