ADELE - 25

Featuring the iconic Hello, 25 is Adele's third studio album titled to reflect her state of being at 25 years old. Exploring themes of loss, nostalgia, and a yearning for her old self, Adele's work is  restorative in a sense. It is magically accurate in maintaining the balance between providing the listener with enough space to acknowledge the hurt and not making them feel isolated in their loss. Adele chose a mix of electronic elements with 1980s R&B and organs to help achieve this along with producer and songwriter Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder. The album also features collaborations with Max Martin and Shellback, Bruno Mars, Greg Kurstin, Danger Mouse, the Smeezingtons, Samuel Dixon, and Tobias Jesso Jr.
