25

Some of us peak in high school, and some of us peak when we’re 25; chances are, you’re better off trying the latter.

Adele’s third album intertwines everything great from the first two, with a new sense of existential songwriting and immersive production, making it a deserved winner of the Grammys’ Album Of The Year award, despite critics’ claims of it being “uninteresting”.

25 is a piece of magic, and while it’s different from anything she’d done before, the passion in her performances are pieces of art in themselves, and they deserve to be treated as such.

Favourite lyric:

From ‘When We Were Young’

Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
