Adele, the renowned English singer, has captivated the world with her blend of classic soul, raw songwriting, and polished pop sound. Since the early 2010s, Adele has shattered records and earned numerous accolades for her emotionally resonant songs and exceptional vocal talent. Her rise to stardom began with the release of her sophomore album, “21,” in 2011, where hit singles like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Someone Like You” propelled her to unparalleled levels of success. Following the massive acclaim of “21,” Adele continued her reign with her third album, “25,” in 2015, which included the chart-topping single “Hello” and garnered multiple Grammy Awards.
