'30' is Adele's best album, writes CraigSJ
These songs are concerned with the betterment of Adele as a musician, a mother, and a woman. She’s sharpening her writing and pushing her voice. Photo: Cliff Lipson/CBS Adele is a volcano, stewing in secret for years until the moment she cuts loose and melts everything in her path. Her studio albums — 19, 21, 25, and the new 30 — are snapshots of unique junctures in her personal life.
The passage from 19 to 25 is a series of breakthroughs in which Adele releases songs that elevate her to new levels of esteem, then the sound of the hits prevails on the next record. 19’s “Hometown Glory” did well; 21 centered stormy piano pop. The plodding-forward push of 21’s “Set Fire to the Rain” telegraphs 25, a work too full of that kind of song.
There’s a sly balancing act happening here: Adele reconciles her romantic past and present and opens new sonic avenues in her music without abandoning the last two albums’ lucrative deference to classic ’70s singer-songwriter pop. 30’s “Oh My God” gestures to Afrobeat between rock-oriented verses and a dance-pop chorus.
