Where are you finding the previews? The link on the previous page isn't working.

The preview of Send My Love is screaming SMASH. Magic Max, magic Adele. It's so different from any tracks she's done before and I love it.

Damn these snippets don't work for me!
Lol at comparing this to 21 - 19 is a better album than 21.

Nice. Just heard them.
Water Under the Bridge and River Lea sound like her typical fare.
The rest are all great and different and I'm loving the much more lush production compared to 21.
Million Years Ago and All I Ask are my initial standouts.

I was able to listen through Remedy before the playlist died. I loved Send My Love and I Miss You. My anticipation is huge! Can't believe I have to wait 3 more days....

Water Under the Bridge and River Lea sound like her typical fare. WHAT?! That song sounds like an 80s pop ballad inspired by Toto and Ellie Goulding's "Delirium" album.

If you can't find them, just go to the website "jams.to" without the quotation marks.

"Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" is a future smash. They definitely need to release it as the third single after "When We Were Young" does its thing on the charts.

The production is much beefier and interesting - but the vocal delivery sounds very Rumour Has It/Turning Tables/Set Fire to the Rain ...... to me.

Which are 3 different vocal deliveries so that's why I'm confused by where you are coming from with that.

"When We Were Young"'s studio version is just beautiful. I don't even know how to wrap my head around it. Agreed, the studio version is sublime. Anywhere to hear the clip of this one? Thanks!

If it stripped down the production, it could very well be sandwiched between those songs on 21. The same with River Lea - which is why I commented on them being similar. The rest of the songs wouldn't fit into that album anywhere, and not just because of the production.

Water Under the Bridge reminds me of something HAIM would have done. Love it. Have to listen to the rest...

When We Were Young...wow, what's left to say that hasn't been said? This may top Someone Like You for me, which I didn't think was possible.
Send My Love is definitely a summer smash waiting to happen. Really, what could have gone wrong with Adele and Max Martin? It's as perfect as it should be.
Water Under the Bridge is the other standout and seems like a clear choice for the 4th single.
The only somewhat concerning thing is that the single choices seem a bit obvious. I can't see them ignoring any of these tracks.

The pre-chorus on WWWY is just EVERYTHING (basic lyrics be damned). She's 2 for 2 with obsessions for me this era.

Eh... I'm underwhelmed by the work as a whole based on those previews, only liked a couple of tracks, but I will still be listening to the whole album when it comes out with my final judgement.

It's funny, based on the snippets this is looking to be an exact replicate of 21 for me. Love the first 7 tracks and the final track, and do not care for #'s 8,9, and 10 which sound a bit sleepy. Exactly how I felt about 21.
The single order is obvious for those first 4, as about everyone has said. I'd say Sweetest Devotion would make a good 5th. So glad it sounds like Send My Love delivered, was expecting big things from that one. River Lea is probably the biggest surprise for me. Absolutely love it, may be my third or fourth fav based on snippets. I think Hello is the album standout, which is certainly no knock on the rest of the tracks. Hello is already a timeless, iconic classic.

Her vocals shine brightest on "Million Years Ago" and "All I Ask" because of how scaled back the music is. That surgery + the hiatus did wonders for her voice. "Water Under the Bridge" is a hit and a half. Damn. Also, can we take a moment for this line? "Consider this my apology. I know it's years in advance, but I would rather say it now in case I never get the chance."

My label buddy still has no idea if this album will be available for streaming and it's 3 days before the release. The power this woman has.
I guess I'll be taking my ass to Target in Harlem sometime this weekend.

Remedy is simple and beautiful. Kinda seems like this album's Turning Tables.
I also feel like I Miss You is going to be way better in full.

The inspiration behind "When We Were Young" seems like the perfect video concept. When was the last time somebody did a video based around a Class Reunion?!

Just came back from the Radio City Music Hall show. She was incredible. "All I Ask", "A Million Years Ago", & "When We Were Young" are truly beautiful songs and I loved the performances of the biggies: "Hometown Glory", "Set Fire To The Rain", "Rolling In The Deep", "Someone Like You", & "Hello". Her performances of "Daydreamer" & "One & Only" were lovely too. She's also so charismatic and charming when speaking... I love her cackling!
Excellent night overall!

4.3 million views of that video of the live performance of "When We Were Young" in like 12 hours. Jesus. She is not letting go. She wants weaves, wigs, hair and scalps.

Nice review!! Did she do "Chasing Pavements" and "Turning Tables"? Chasing Pavements yes. Turning Tables, no. Other than the singles (except Rumour Has It), she did One & Only from "21".
