Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: "Love in the Dark" is a deeply melancholy song about a failing relationship. A sad song in its own right, but all the more sad given Adele divorced from her husband but three years later.


Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** To Music/AmyWinehouse. Also recognized as spiritual successor to Dame Music/ShirleyBassey at the 2013 Oscars due to her success with the theme from ''Skyfall''. She herself openly loathes this notion, however, claiming that she only shares with other British singers like Amy the "gender, not the genre".
** For her own songs, "Hello" to "Someone Like You" and "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" to "Rumor Has It".

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenBase: Adele lost a lot of weight over 2019/2020. This caused some disagreement.
** On the one hand: adopting a more conventional body image is a betrayal of the "body positive" movement that she was implicitly supporting by being a BigBeautifulWoman.
** On the other hand: her body, her choice; and being overweight has a number of undesirable health consequences.

Trivial, not YMMV


* MeaningfulReleaseDate: ''Skyfall'' was released at 12.07am (0.07 using the 24hr clock) on October 5, 2012 (the 50th anniversary of the release of the film version of ''Film/DrNo'').

* GenreTurningPoint / GenreRelaunch: The massive success of her second album, ''21,'' single-handedly changed the landscape of pop music, with the absolute collapse of club music and bringing back R&B and neo-soul genre to the mainstream.

* HypeBacklash: Par for the course for every popular artist, but the fact that she's actually ''injuring her voice'' causes trained (or more-trained) musicians to protest.

* NarmCharm: Good lord, if half her songs were sung by someone else, it would come off as whiny. But Adele has such an amazing voice, that you believe every single word and every single vocal inflection. She could sing the back label of a toilet cleaner bottle and it would sound like the most profound thing ever.

** This continued with 25. While it has received some harsh criticism (especially from the Beyhive due to a perceived AwardSnub at the Grammys), the album proved to be even ''more'' successful while maintaining similar acclaim and performing a clean sweep at the Grammys, winning every nom it received (including all three major categories)

** [[https://youtu.be/Nck6BZga7TQ Adele Carpool Karaoke.]]
** Having Sir David Attenborough [[https://youtu.be/enu-qR0H_uk narrate the opening two minutes of the "Hello" video]] is insane enough.



** The Adele/Swifties feud seems to have died down just in time for the Beyhive to go after her fans in full force due to the debateable AwardSnub at the 2017 Grammys. Neither side is backing down at all.
