"Hold On" sounds nice. it does sound like a song that was made to be in a commercial though. :kii:

I'm not a vocal technique expert but I found her "Skyfall" note from the preview kinda forced. Through the years I've realized that so many of my favorite artists have a unique approach to singing. Adele has one of the most beautiful tones but always strains too much. What she lacks in technique she makes up for with undeniable emotion. I actually think her low notes are fantastic and she should sing there more often.

I'm going to avoid any snippets that may come in the next few days or so. I played EOM so much when it came out that I've given it a rest lately.
I want to give the album a fresh listen next Friday.

I don't drink wine but I'm quite excited about it because of how it's being described,"a flair of 70s Elton John and Bernie Taupin."

I wonder if "I Drink Wine" will drop tonight? Her CBS special is on Sunday and I can't wait!
Also I've seen the amazon ad with "Hold On" being used today. It sounds so good through the TV.
I hope "I Drink Wine" being the 2nd single means they're going for many singles. Or we'll at least get 3 with proper releases/videos filmed etc I assume. As I cannot see them not releasing the Max Martin/Shellback track.
In saying that, watch the entire album take up the top 12 on the Hot 100 first week and the album tracks spend weeks and weeks on the chart. *_*

I really hope the rest of the album is a bit less been there done that than "Easy on Me". I don't wanna get hate for this because the song is still #1 on most major charts, but it kinda doesn't feel like the album is coming in a week? The 30 banners were more of an event than the actual first single.
I still like the song a lot and maybe my expectations were too high? I'm sure the album will slay me.

I agree. There doesn't seem to be much hype at all. The Daily Mail is preparing the ground to call the whole thing a disaster by publishing an article today describing 30 as the most hyped album in history propelled by a campaign they dub "Operation Overkill". I don't know what gives them that impression, but it doesn't feel that way to me. It's all very lacking in impact so far.
And to make matters worse, it looks pretty likely that the release will be accompanied by headlines about EOM being knocked off #1 in those major markets, which won't help its momentum either.
She's rumored to be releasing a new single and video on Friday, so maybe that will give it a shot in the arm, but as things stand, I'd expect her to fall short of Red in the US, and of ABBA in the UK. (Though I realize we're talking about Adele, so this prediction may not age well...).
Like you, I just hope for something new and interesting. And preferably upbeat.

I like Easy On Me but it’s somewhat forgettable IMO. If it was released by the majority of other artists, it definitely wouldn’t have gone #1…but that’s the power of Adele. Im hoping that EOM is more of an appetizer for the album and singles. I have high hopes for I Drink Wine and from the clips of Hold On, I think there will be some slayage.

To be fair, at the moment she's competing with Taylor Swift for attention. While Taylor lose in term of sales number and such, her clout over social media and media in general is greater than even Adele during her peak.

You all are ignoring the fact that Adele does not *need* to do all these crazy things and be everywhere and anywhere to make this a big event. She has the "One Night Only" special in the U.S. 5 days before the album release and that's really all she needs to cause her name to be in everyone's mouth, worldwide, up until the release date.
Then, she has the UK "An Audience with Adele" special a week after, 2 days after her release that will continue the momentum.
People know Adele is coming next week, people who aren't often tuned in with music release dates. And as someone mentioned, Taylor is taking air time this week -- but Adele trumps Taylor, any day, any time (which says a lot because no one can deny Taylor's power).

I'm here for a top 12 album bomb on Billboard. Everything's so different since she last dropped her album and now we get to see her dominate

I don’t think she has competition getting that #1 album after Red goes #1 next week. If Taylor outsells during Adele’s release week, I will be shocked but don’t think it’s gonna happen. I do think All To Well may have a chance of knocking EOM from #1 on the US singles charts tho.

So excited for the CBS special tomorrow!
I also don't see what you all are worried about? EOM broke streaming records despite being a ballad and the album is going to crush it sales-wise. I'm sure the hype will really build come Sunday after her special airs. *_*

Y'all really think Taylor's second week numbers will exceed Adele's?? Adele will outsell Taylor's last three albums in 2-3 weeks. Foh.

I'm still thinking over 200k UK and over 900k US. The ABBA/Taylor comment was kind of a reach.
