Personally, I really loved My Little Love including the talking bits, it showcased her vulnerability even more. Not many artists do that especially not in Pop anyway, that was really bold and I appreciate her for that. I think that gave the song more personality, cause we all know she can write great songs but her sharing her emotions and feelings and what she's going through is special

By far the craziest, most impressive thing about Adele is that all of her album vocal tracks are her original demo recordings. As she told Vogue magazine recently, she "Never. Never ever" re-records her vocals because the raw emotion & authenticity in the demos gets lost if you start re-recording. THAT is just insanity! 🤯

My little love punched me in the gut. Hearing her son really touches me as a divorced mother I loved it. I’ve had convos like this with my boys about why I’ve been sad all day. It’s so relatable and shows I’m not the only one who has gone through this.

Strangers by nature has got such a 60s glamour vibe, very similar to some of Amy’s music but still really unique x

My Little Love made me shed tears. The crazy thing is that I don't have a kid so the song wasn't something I could say I entirely relate to. But when she started to talk about her emotions in the outro and in the little voice memos with her kid it hit me right in the heart. That feeling of anxiety, stress, confusion, paranoia, loneliness even when you prefer being lonely was so relatable for me. The emotions that song made me have was well needed . The album is so self reflective, vulnerable, raw and real and I believe it was well worth the wait. Also the tone of the song with the instrumentation and the harmonies in the back just made it even better. It's funny because while I was still crying from My Little Love, Cry Your Heart Out started playing and so I did exactly that XD

Adele’s voice is unmatched. To Be Loved is one of her best songs ever. Great album. One of my favorites this year for sure.

Hold On, To Be Loved and Love Is A Game are the holy trinity of this album, and I'm so glad they're on a row and that that's how the album ends. It's just builds up towards those 3 and it explodes

My little love is my fave on the whole album cuz it's incredibly grounded in reality and has a sense of urgency and possesses an unnerving quality that's hard to do with such personal tracks

@@Jordanbobba I think it's more about recording the vulnerable conversation with someone who can't really consent to it, you know? I also felt a bit off listening to it and I appreciate the concept and cried while listening to it but if I am listening to the album passively than the conversation feels to vulnerable and real to be integrated into the song, as much as it's a unique concept. Maybe her son will grow up and doesn't like that she put that heartbreaking moment into the song with him being a part of it... It's like posting a picture of your child in the internet. It's something people do without malicious intent but it can be weird for the child after they are grown, because they didn't want that picture of them walking around half naked in a swimsuit on Facebook. And this conversation feels as intimate as such a picture.

About the recorded clips of her conversations with her son in 'My Little Love', she says in her Apple Music interview that her therapist instructed her to record the conversations she had with her son so that she could listen back to them to make sure that she didn't overstep when talking to him about the divorce.

Very wise advice from the therapist. We all know someone who has almost unknowingly turned their child against their ex by insidious little digs.

The conversations with her son don't strike me as exploitative. At all. People record their lives nowadays, albeit to an absurd degree, but she may do it even less than most. And those with young children capture as much as possible of those early years. Inclusion of those conversations, and her own entry in her digital diary, took bravery and humility, to bare and share herself so publicly. Time will tell, but I bet this inclusion of conversations in a song sets a standard for mixing IRL moments with music meant to address them. This song broke my heart. Raw, achingly beautiful.

The best album ever made?? I love this album and Adele but its far from the best

For My Little Love, if you listen to or watch her Apple Interview she goes through the album track by track and talks about the process for each song. She also explains what leads her to documenting so many of her interactions with her son as well as the voicemail that we get at the end to her good friend. And while I understand the perspective you and some other have about it seeming “exploitative” it still is surprising to see that’s what some took from that. While Adele has always been very open about her relationship with her ex through her music, she has also always been fairly private about the ongoings of her life as a parent. I felt like the clips were moments of a very intimate relationship that centered on being very vulnerable as a parent to her child in a way that we haven’t seen before. I think that after all this time, it’s moving that she chose to share that with us. It’s really important to her for people to feel seen by this album. She wants people to feel changed by it and I think sometimes in order to do that we have to be bold in vulnerability and it doesn’t get much more vulnerable than sharing with the world some of the most private things you’re feeling the most guilt, shame and pain around. And maybe she just felt like it’d make her more human. More real to us. It felt like she was laying it all out and she was intentional and brave and sad and true about it. I think that this album is for her and for people who have been where she’s been or will be.. but I think that a lot of this album is also for her son. She’s also said she’s done quite a bit of therapy and yeah, to me, it shows.

I had the same feelings about my little love throughout until it got the end and she talks about being lonely, I think the purpose was to show how you have to be strong for your children and hold back certain things when they're young, then as the song grew (like her daughter) she could be completely raw and honest about her emotions. Then I found it really beautiful honestly and made the clips with her daughter have meaning.

This album was excellent and i think the way you felt after to be loved is how everyone felt

I was 🕶 *sunglasses* for this one. I’ve just gone through all she’s singing about and she nailed the emotions.

‘Can I Get It’ gets so much better through the song, it’s one of those songs that’s constantly building

So glad I came across this channel. Love your reviews especially this one. Adele is a gift from God. What a spectacular voice..Excellent song writing and production. This will be massive worldwide.

''My Little Love'' what a song man it's so deep and emotional aaand my fave, Love Is a Game reminds me to old Adele vocals thx for react Denton!

To be Loved is just a masterpiece 💎. Adele with another classic album

My Little Love made me ball my eyes out. I didn't think it was too much at all, it was the right amount of vulnerability and rawness that she wanted in this album. A song, yes, can tell a story, but I think her goal was to really really show the pain she was going through. I don't think I would have connected in the same way to that song if I didn't hear her or her kids voice talking in it.

Listening to the album was a great journey. Loved old-school Hollywood glamour films vibes, Amy Winehouse moments as well as gospel elements in the background That is a great comeback

You are right! What a statement to every other artist to get their shit together and release some proper stripped back well written music that we can all get lost in and enjoy.

To be loved made me feel so many emotions than ever when listening to music

I was speechless after listening to this album. Thank you Adele ❤

Love is a game is one of my favorite songs from the last few decades. Fuck.

love is a game is lyrically perfection

Your commentary on “My Little Love” is insane, it’s probably the best song on the album, and the voice notes bring a whole new level of vulnerability to it! LISTEN AGAIN!

I was waiting for this!!! OMG here se go🙌🏻🔥💖✨

My little love is one of her best songs ever

I almost feel like the talking bits were necessary in my little love. As a child, you grow up thinking your parents are this almighty figure that has everything figured out and it isn’t only till you grow up and become one yourself that you understand how much they had to go through in order to figure it out on their own. A lot of people, especially ethnic people, never get to see this vulnerable side of their parents as a kid, and I think showcasing that to the world does wonders in opening kid’s eyes to the humanity of the people they look up to

literally in love with this album, every song hits for me but i’ve gotta say my favourites are to be loved, love is a game, strangers by nature, oh my god and my little love !

I’m here a long time since the Rock reacts time and I feel you on the crying and pain . I too have chronic migraines, back ache mental health problems, anorexia and the only thing that makes me feel is music, I feel like at 41 Adele is our generation at its finest and I missed her. ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪

She shook me to the core with Oh My God and To Be Loved 🔥

Little one, to be loved, woman like me OMW def favorites been on repeat since released

Yes John mate don't stop the Ads I love to see you flourishing mate!!

When i need to cry, my Adele go to's now are: 1. Don't You Remember 2. Someone Like You 3. All I Ask 4. To Be Loved 5. Hold On

I haven't even listened to this album yet so I'm just gonna listen for the first time with you!

This album was soo good 😭

I Drink Wine is by far my favorite song on this album. I agree that it will be a classic.

acc such a good album first time i ever listened to Adele and did not expect to like this record as much as I do even though i relate to it like 0% cus im too young lol

Saw her sing I drink wine on the live special. Amazing piece of art this song.

One of the reaction videos I've been waiting.

This album needs a few listens, because even the songs like Oh my God and Cry your heart out I don't skip everything else is Just butter,Clearly a cinematic masterpiece as she transitions into Legit adulthood

Some incredible music in the past two weeks silk sonic and then Adele

18:20 "How do you follow that?" Oh you'll hear how

Love the album!! It’s like Lauren Hill , Sade, and Nina Simone had a baby!! Heard Oh My God on the radio today! Blown away! To Be Loved is a triumph!!

Had to end video when you stated My Little Love is “too much.” That song is PERFECTION. You’re tripping!!!

You were right I drink wine was insane at the Brits.

As a massive hip-hop fan, the very reason why I followed Jon from his Rock Reacts days, British women have carried the industry when my favourite hip-hop artists have disappointed me to another level this year. My Little Love will go down as one of the best songs of this year, hands down, what a fucking song👏🏾 Shout out to Wolf Alice and Joy Crookes for giving me some joy when I've been let down by my favourite artists🤙🏾

Really great and honest review. Completely agree about the Ed Sheeran-esque song 🤣

Adele's interview with Zane Lowe explains the voiceovers with her son on My Little Love, there's a heartbreaking story behind it but it really spoil the song, the in-your-face transparency with the subject of the artwork, demystifying it while still constructing it with the audience, it is very rare when such idea works; the song is very good, but could have been better if the voiceovers were separate on an interlude or something, or just after the song like Lauryn Hill did
