As far as the Grammys, it’s between Easy on Me and As it Was for SOTY and ROTY. I LOVED 30 but hoping Beyonce gets that win.

Congrats to Adele! Haters can seethe and continue to be pressed over her "flop era" in their corners :kii:
Having said that, listened to 30 after a very long break and it sounded so good.

Adele – 30

I didn't bother checking 30 out. Idk why maybe it's bc I'm getting older and can't sit through an entire album like I did before unless it's by one of my faves. Anyways, today I heard a song on the radio that made me feel nostalgic and almost serene despite this being the first time I had ever heard it. I was sure the singer was Adele but then I thought she'd never make a song like this therefore I assumed it was someone else that sounded just like her. My phone died so I couldn't Shazam it. When I went home I googled the one line I had memorized and turns out it actually was Adele and the song was called Cry Your Heart Out. What in the 19 was that? It definitely has that vintage Adele sound but it doesn't sound dated at all. Literally her best song ever and now I feel like a fool for missing out on 30 all this time "Cry Your Heart Out" isn't even a single so I am surprised any radio played it. If I remember correctly, it wasn't a song many loved when the album first came out but it's definitely a good song. The album also has some of the best vocals of her career if you are into that! Now see this is why I've been screaming for CYHO to be a single since the album dropped.

Oh god. Not ready for the internet meltdown/thinkpieces we’ll have to endure if Adele actually sweeps the Grammys next year. Not that I don’t love her, but…I don’t want to see that happen, for so many reasons. Would love to see Easy On Me get some recognition, but I imagine even Adele herself is likely dreading a potential AOTY win against Beyoncé again.

That's the main reason why I don't want her to win AOTY. I'd be totally fine with Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. Harry will probably win Record of the Year.

I was happy to see 25 win, but this time I think the album was really good but a little been there done that for her. There were more innovative projects this year, and even in terms of sales she wasn't as dominant as she was in the past so the "commercial juggernaut" card doesn't completely apply anymore. I think a snub or lackluster showing come Grammy time could be a wake up call for her. I think this era had a lot of potential squandered. I'd also love a more experimental record when 42 comes out.

I think a snub or lackluster showing come Grammy time could be a wake up call for her. I think this era had a lot of potential squandered. I'd also love a more experimental record when 42 comes out. Why should it be a "wake up call" for her? This is her most acclaimed and ambitious album ever (which is probably why it was met with a comparatively lukewarm response than her other albums), and I doubt she makes this type of music because she wants to be honored by the Grammys. TO YOU, it might be undeserved, but she shouldn't be ashamed of the work she created with this album, nor does everything have to be "experimental" to be recognized. It's interesting that you find the 25 win deserving but have an issue with her not "experimenting"... when 30 is unarguably more of a "risk" than that 21 retread. Really interesting take. Since we're being "100% honest," the reason why some people do not want her to sweep is because her album isn't this dominant force her last two albums were (aside from those who think there are some more deserving albums, but it's the Grammys) and they are just tired of her sweeping. That's a fair assessment, but just own it. (Btw, this isn't an attack on you or your opinion.) With this being said, I do think Renaissance should and could win, but I also think people are underestimating Silk Sonic. I don't think that many voters feel that Beyoncé is "owed" anything, and we know how much of a hard-on voters have on both Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak. If they don't want to participate in the whole Beyoncé vs Adele rematch, they could opt for them as an alternative. Harry, Kendrick, Bad Bunny and the like aren't winning. They just don't have that appeal.

I guess I am one of the few people who doesn't view Adele's 25 winning over Beyonce's Lemonade as a false victory. To me it felt right given the context, and atmospherics of that year. The conditions seem right for a similar sweep for Adele with both the album and the record breaking first single mirroring successfully with both campaigns. I like Hello better than Easy On Me, but I doubt the academy will see a difference.
I know there is a lot of good will and appetite for Beyonce to win album of the year, however Renaissance winning to me when both her self-titled album and Lemonade lost doesn't seem quite right either. It would feel to me like they would be awarding her for her legacy rather than the record itself. Also isn't Beyonce the most awarded artist in Grammy history? It feels a bit odd arguing that she is under awarded given that fact, and that she deserves more awards or is more deserving than others when she is very much consistently recognized.
The only concern I would have about Adele winning AOTY again is that the Grammy's seem to alternate between her and Taylor every few years for the top honor, and that could be seen as a problem if it happens again considering it's clear Taylor is going for it too for next year. It would be a threepeat for both of them if they both win again.

magik wake up call in the sense that she has done very little for the era and I don't think it will get her the same accolades by default. Sales totals were never reaching 25 levels but even then longevity wise the album didn't hold up so far to her previous standards. I don't know if Renaissance can hold up until awards season, and Harry's film mess might actually loose him some points on the music front, but unless Adele reboots the promo machine she will be old news as well. As for experimentation, I respect your point of view and really like 30 overall, but I think it was ultimately still very much an Adele album in the same vein as her previous. As for supporting 25's win, it truly felt to me like it had more impact than Lemonade especially without the Lemonade film component at play. Anyways, maybe the Academy will ultimately give her all the awards again. I would expect a mess to ensue, and unlike the last time I'd actually agree.

Actually, I think Adele's LV residency will be a determining factor in how she is perceived in the Grammy race. It'll be right during final voting and I'm sure there will be many Grammy voters in attendance. I don't think she needs a full promo campaign or her album needs to be at the top of the charts to matter when it should matter most. The top winner last year was an album that barely charted. I can totally see CBS airing her Emmy Award winning show during voting time as well. While I'm pretty sure there was some backstage drama with the residency, I do wonder if it was also in her team's plan to move the residency to later in the year to push for Grammy glory.
As for Adele sweeping again or there being some subsequent backlash, it will only be because she beat Beyoncé again. Had Beyoncé not been in the conversation, I don't think anyone would care about another Adele sweep. Adele sweeping over Harry wouldn't entice much backlash for obvious reasons. Crazy how three of Columbia's top artists will be going head-to-head at the Grammys. I guess they don't really care about the outcome. Otherwise, they would have at least made Bey and Adele compete in two separate years.

Since we are talking about the Grammy's voting period, is there any sense that Adele and her team will throw a single out during the voting period or to drum up more interest for her residency (publicly or otherwise)?
I can't imagine her just going in completely cold into fall with nothing active during such an important time.

I think she'll drop "I Drink Wine" once the summer is over.

I think IDW is an OK choice for Fall but it makes me wonder if they could have just sent CIGI to radio and let it do whatever even without a video during the summer. A ton of extra spins on radio never hurt nobody.
OMG & CIGI are some of my 30 faves but they felt a little out of place on the album so I figured they were label picked and maybe potential singles.

There are "rumours" that Adele will be surprise dropping her 5th album later this year. I highly doubt it, but would be happy if true.

I think the origin of these rumors is from deuxmoi. they're not always credible (so I wouldn't take it seriously just yet) but there are enough details in this that I'm like... maybe it's true? she hasn't done much besides going to the BRITs this year so she had ample time.

I semi-believed it until I saw the 8 counts.
I feel like she has purposely distanced herself from dancing. Even in the Oh My God video it was everyone else dancing around her.

Even in the Oh My God video it was everyone else dancing around her. they never say Adele is dancing, in fact, quite the opposite: they're saying Adele can hear the song in her headphones (to lip sync, presumably) and everyone else on set is hearing/dancing to 8 counts.

30 wasn't that good except for Easy on Me. I tried listening to it the other day and I was put to sleep. All the fucking talking is annoying too. After 6 years and she puts out 30? GIRL BYE!
I really don't care if she sweeps the Grammys again. The Grammys are so out of touch and more irrelevant as the years go on.
I still love her other records but 30 wasn't it.

30 wasn't that good except for Easy on Me. That's quite the statement when I Drink Wine, Cry Your Heart Out, Oh My God, All Night Parking, Wild Wild West, and Hold On are also on 30, and all better than Easy on Me.

I've also seen people say '30' sounds exactly like her other albums...like are we listening to the same album? '30' is my album of the year for 2021 and I still love it almost a year later.

I still enjoy 30 but it hasn’t held up as well for me as 21 or 25. There are definitely some standouts on the album that I love, like Oh My God, Cry Your Heart Out, I Drink Wine, and Easy On Me. I’ll admit that I haven’t listened to 30 since last spring, but with the weather getting cooler, I’m ready to break out my 30 vinyl again.
Also, where is this I Drink Wine music video that’s supposed to inspire Halloween costumes? It’s October…

I haven’t listened to 30 since November 🤐
I might come back to it again soon now that it’s cooled down some. I definitely will be playing 25 in December!

I've always been a fan of Adele but I also feel like I haven't listened to 30 since it was released. When the album was released I enjoyed My Little Love, All Night Parking, Woman Like Me and To Be Loved most. I haven't revisited 30 like I do 19 and 21, which are both my favorite albums from her.

I, too, haven't listened to it all the way through since its release, but I've listened to individual tracks off it a lot since. The weird thing is that I consider it a strong album overall, yet I don't have the desire to listen to it. *shrug*
