I once went on a coach trip where the overnight stay was at a hotel featuring an Adele-alike as the evening's entertainment. There was a special offer on at the bar, a double rum & coke was £2. I took full advantage and soon needed to take a comfort break whereupon in an otherwise empty corridor I stumbled upon a tiny nervous woman enveloped in an enormous kaftan - I was shocked and confused but then came to my senses - she was the Adele-alike. Back then it must have been so easy to do karaoke in a kaftan, but now, after the make-over?

adele mostly makes big and boring, lumbering, hollowed out 80s style adult pop where i think theres meant to be really big emotions but it doesnt really provoke them in me (except on someone like you). id rather listen to ed sheeran.

ill give the album a listen though just cos its meant to have a few diff things on it, i think shes working with the sault producer inflow on something, so it might do something she doesnt normally do.

"I changed who I was to put you both first," she sings, "but now I give up".
That moment, so naked and unvarnished, sends shivers down your spine.
Adele's voice is full of regret, but also resolve.
In the accompanying music video, director Xavier Dolan chooses this moment to transition from black and white to full colour - making clear that this is the sound of a woman who has dismantled her entire world, realising that she needn't feel guilty for putting herself first.

Fans correctly guessed the release date of 19 November when Taylor Swift moved her forthcoming album forward by a week, apparently to avoid a clash with Adele.

With James Bond tunes they fall into two categories

1. "Old" ones which came out before I was about, I dunno, ten years old - all things which I heard first on the intro of a Bond film as I desperately strained my eyes trying to catch the tastefully concealed rude bits of the impossibly beautiful silhouettes tastefully swimming by, tastefully fellating guns and suchlike. All of these are great vintage tunes which fit perfectly with the films and could have only been made for the film in question... I would in fact often be surprised to discover that the artist in question - Paul McCartney, Tom Jones etc - had a separate pop career in their own right.

2. "New" ones which are not the old ones and which invariably represent a moden artist trying and failing to change their sound to fit a Bond intro. Basically poor pastiches of the above.

I admit there may be a slight element of subjectivity which has crept in and perhaps slightly coloured the conclusion above a tad.
