Album Review: Adele - 25

Ah, Adele, the soundtrack to the heartbreaks you thought you'd never get over.

While there's nothing like a great big ballad (Hello and Love In the Dark), she does some great old school diva channelling. Water Under The Bridge takes on a distinct Whitney track, while Send My Love (To Your New Lover) shows revenge is best served with a bit of a groove. Million Years Ago is gorgeous in its vocal delivery and understatement, as is All I Ask, with the last jumping around with a melodic hook that Elton John at his best would swoon over.
