Adele 30: White Vinyl Special Edition Review

One of the most anticipated albums of the year, Adele’s 30 is finally here. The 12-track release dropped to eager audiences last Friday, November 19, and has been breaking all kinds of records ever since.

Like the artist’s previous albums, 30 is a wholly introspective project, with songs influenced by her separation (and subsequent divorce) from husband Simon Konecki and her experiences with fame and motherhood. The album, Adele’s first since 2015’s 25, comes to us via Columbia and is produced with former collaborators Greg Kurstin, Max Martin and Shellback and Tobias Jesso Jr. as well as new collaborators Inflo and Ludwig Goransson.
