Hello, it’s Adele, with her new single “Hello” and a moody, sepia-toned video. Opening shot: looking out a window filled with dead bugs. Welcome back, Adele!
The song, her first in three years, is one of Adele’s cry-it-out tunes rather than one of her show-stopping “fuck you, buddy” numbers. It follows the disintegration of a relationship, which Adele mourns while wearing a truly delightful shaggy coat. Prepare to express all your holiday feelings through passive-aggressive replays of this song, which is great.
