I’d love to be part of it! I hope anyone can join since idk much about music but i’d be glad to help. I love your channel and how you help me see music in an entirely different way.
You need to listen to the Zane Lowe interview. It will be great. Also look up the Q interview with Tom Powers. More info on street team? She said she was listening to Al Green, Jeff Buckley, and others.
This entire album is so cinematic. The vintage strings allow you to listen to it with your eyes closed and lets classic black and white movies play in your head.

Your reaction for I drink wine just made me wanna give you a hug. Your silence in the climax of the song spoke massively itself and I just wanna say I really hope you can overcome the situation you are going through. Sometimes things happens for a reason and we cannot see it. Best wishes, man.
@@udb1987 Agreed. However, part of appreciating music is separating your expectation and following where the artists are leading you--you end up appreciating songs more deeply and at a greater variety. :)
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind What if they did separate their expectations and still don't like it? Maybe it just isn't their personal taste? We can't assume they didn't.
Yk this album shooked my entire core. I was stunned by the way she re-invented herself & really made a path for artists to keep making art the way they want it to be. Adele doesn't listen to her fans what kinda music she has to make, she decides & just puts it out. Whether it gets a 100 or a billion likes, she doesn't care. She is proud of her songs & does her own thing and I appreciate it so much. No artist like her.
Thank you for this video. I feel like I'd heard Adele before, but had never *heard* Adele until this album. I'll admit I'd never listened to an Adele album in full but after she asked for spotify to remove the shuffle option because she'd carefully placed the tracks from start to finish, I decided to listen to the whole album and take it in as it was meant to, and I'm blown away at the story she is telling, its like a carefully orchestrated collective piece of music as opposed to 12 single songs on an album. I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling. Its beautiful piece of poetic art.
Adele’s album really surprised me. I truly think it’s a masterpiece, from the way she is able to convey her emotions in such a raw, heart wrenching form to excelling at each different sound of her songs -vintage, r&b, soul, jazz, dance pop. Her voice is so powerful, full, and rich that she doesn’t need much production behind it to captivate people, which is such an impressive feat. How she can touch people so deeply in different ways with just 12 songs is amazing. And thank you Blake for making these videos, I’ve learned so much from your musical knowledge and you offer such a unique insight, you’re always a pleasure to watch
I agree with everything u said. This album was just so unique & cool & I personally loveddd it too. & right, I love how Blake gives us a lot of insight on music that I never knew before!! It’s just really cool overall.
Something I noticed, all her albums covers before 30 are dark, with black, gray and sepia vibes but the cover for 30 is so alive, bright but mostly powerful, compared to the others covers, translating so much the vibe of hope and the vibe of reaching a place of hurt that can transform so powerfully someone, which is the vibe/message she wants to show, i think
At the end of Love Is A Game where you wanted more vocals, in the One Night Only concert she used that part to talk, thank the band etc, I saw it as like the end of a musical western where they sort of ride off into the sunset. She did say her album had to be played in sequence and got Spotify to take off the shuffle option, because its a journey. Love is a Game is when she meets Rich Paul and is happy now, in love, so that end part of the song is like a .... To be continued......
Really loved that Adele tried to experiment with singing in different genres. But what surprised me the most in 30 is the arrangement and instrumentals of some songs (Strangers By Nature and Love Is A Game especially) since they reminded me old-school and old-time favorite Disney cartoons with their stunningly beautiful instrumental OSTs Another thing worth a round of applause is the deepness of the lyrics and vulnerability Adele showed in My Little Love and To Be Loved songs. Both songs were like an emiotional roller-coaster; hearing the pain in her voice, realizing how challenging her life was after the divorce is really heart-wrenching and im glad she shared that bunch of emotions with us, listeners. Amazing album, great comeback!
Currently on I Drink Wine and I see that it hit you hard. The silence. The moment you wanted to talk about the production to calm down, but didn't even know what to say.. We see you! It's been 2 months since this video came out, so I hope you're doing better! All the love man! This album is a rollercoaster, I can't wait to see how the rest will make you feel.
I feel like To Be Loved, as you said, is the Finale - and Love is a Game is an epilogue to the story of the album, leaving the door open to the next stage of her life
I Drink Wine is my absolute favorite on this album! The whole album is amazing, but that song just resonates with me on another level. ❤️ She has said that the original version is actually 15 minutes long and I’d love to hear that one!
Honestly it was so nice just to hear you talk about music and just sitting and feeling the album. That's exactly what Adele wanted people to do from song 1 till the end, in order, to appreciate the journey she went on with the album! Definitely subscribing to the channel!!
I hope that you get over your problems soon. You come across as a very warm and sincere person. Really enjoyed your revue. I adore this album especially I drink wine. It lifts me up so high.
Oh I was looking forward to this react. The production and storytelling in this album are soooo intense and innovative. I knew you’d be the one to really appreciate it. No wonder why youtube put this on first screen for me.
Oh my gosh it’s like you literally read my mind I was just watching your reaction to easy on me and wondering if you were going to react to Adele’s whole album and then I refresh and I see you uploaded!!! I’m so happy I love your reactions I’m gonna keep watching now haha
I ugly cried seeing you react to I Drink Wine and To be loved. 😂😭 that gasp of air you did during one of the last “let it be known” during to be loved showed how much you felt it ♥️♥️♥️
Your reactions are always so insightful, not only with technical aspects of the production, but you're also still able to focus on the meaning and emotion of the music, especially here with Adele. Thanks for sharing your insight, and wishing you the best with whatever you may be going through.
Adele's new album 30 is completely different than any of her previous CD'S. All the Tracks are great. I felt really emotional with My Little Love it was sweet her talking to her precious little boy. I wasn't prepared for the part when she was crying & saying how she felt she described feeling really lonely, frightened. It made me cry I felt her pain. I realized, that I feel just like that it's a painful place to be. She was just so, raw & vulnerable, honest. I love this album it's really helping me as, I'm going through a lot I'm on a self searching journey of my own. Valerie
It's a very mature and reflective Album, with very different songs from Adele, this album has songs, of course, ballads, but it has songs with very different styles, like: JAZZ, COUNTRY, a little R&B, SOUL, POP, a vibe 50s and 60s, GOSPEL. THIS ALBUM WILL SURELY BE THE "ALBUM OF THE YEAR", because it can be considered Art #Adele30
I am completely held captive by this album. I’m moved in different ways with every listen. “ To Be Loved “ tore my heart out. “Love Is A Game” could have been recorded by Garland in the 50’s- however, I have read that it’s really a nod to Amy Winehouse. Just absolutely BRILLIANT.
Can I just say that I’ve been yearning to talk about this album with someone. Although it’s verbally one sided here, it is releasing pent up excitement about this album. The comment section is also amazing. I’m so happy to find people who enjoy this album and have appreciated it in full. Adele is my favourite therapist, but being here feels like she’s our favourite.
Check out her interview with John Mayer that was released in the past week. She told him her vocal track is her FIRST time through the song with someone on the piano or guitar - just the two of them. Then the other aspects of production are added it in later. She said she doesn't record with the band at the same time because the first time through is the most honest/emotional.
Great reaction Blake, 'To be loved' is a masterpiece! The whole album is great but that song👌you should react to the raw cut of the song Adele put out on RUclips.
The no vocal at the end of love is a game reminds me of the end of a musical when the cast run out and bow to the audience, then the last “I’ll do it all again” is like her encore coming back out to the crowd :)
It’s always very interesting to watch you review songs as you are a producer. You have interesting views on how the instruments are used, how the songs are structured etc. Thank you! x
I just wish it didn’t have the moan, like I get it’s showcasing her change of mindset and freedom to do as she pleases, but something about the chorus doesn’t work for me. But that’s just me!
Loved to see how you experienced the journey that is this album ✨🎶 To listen and watch ur reaction both sonically and lyrically as a producer, and to listen along with you, and myself, learning how to just feel the music and listen to that feeling. It is very refreshing way to appreciate music 😌💙
I so enjoyed listening to your dialogue for this album - it really gave me another perspective to listening to this album - can't wait to watch more - this was so kool...
I really appreciate your reactions focusing on the music. A lot of people I see react just focus on how sad the songs are (often lyrically) but I really like getting the in depth analysis of what’s going on musically: what influences, styles, etc. are going into to the production.
You’re right music is an incredible language and has got me through so many difficult periods in my life. I like your honesty so I’ve subscribed to hear more from you.
ADELE 30 is a brilliant masterpiece, she is one of a kind♥️ she will sweep the Grammys again with this album♥️ To Be Loved is my favorite song on the album, her gorgeous songwriting matches that gorgeous voice♥️ I was like you how is any song going to follow To Be Loved, and Love is Game was the perfect song to end that soul journey ADELE takes you on, I thought the same thing as you it sounds like a Sinatra or Streisand song from the 50’s and 60’s♥️ I cried the emotions she brought out in me is the mark of a brilliant artist, it’s a WOW♥️
so i know this is months later, but i feel like “to be loved” IS the finale, but “love is a game” is the song that plays during the credits or the bows. as a final final. a wrap up of the show, movie, or in this case album
I just freaking love your face reactions.. The joy that shines in your eyes, with every texture every sound every trick that were place in each song. Subscribed :)
Not gonna lie. Sorta feel in love here. You have a wonderful ear for musical expression and you definitely helped bring out the albums unique qualities. You’re adorable as well and I love the kitty. Sending you all the good vibes I can spare and here’s to a better tomorrow. Cheers!!
Your reaction to this entire album is just what Adele wanted, in her Oprah Winfrey interview she said that she thinks and wants to this album will help people go through what they're going through especially Hold On ❤
WOW!!So glad my friends turned me on to your channel I'm a new subscriber after watching this reaction to Adeles 30 CD.What a brilliant peice of work.I have followed Adele from her first release and I remember saying to myself what an amazing voice and with this new CD she's taken the world by storm. I couldn't agree more with your reaction to such a masterpiece 👏
Loved your take on her album! I Drink Wine seems like an instant classic to me. It obviously spoke to you too. Music does that. Looking forward to what you & Jacob Restituto might be up to! You both have such kind hearts & winning personalities!
She said in an interview "To Be Loved" will never be sung live, that she can't. She did post a video singing it while sitting on a couch, and posted it on IG. Nov. 17, check it out, it's phenomenal.
You've got a fan for life in me. The way you broke this down and felt every element of the song... a breath of fresh air. I feel like Judy Garland would've sung the hell out of some of these songs.
I really enjoyed this reaction! I have seen other reactions and have felt as if they didn’t understand Adele or the music to the level you did. As soon as you compared it to a song that would be on Disney i yelled me too 🥰 I thought that the first time I heard it as well. Instant subscribe from me!
On to be loved I LOVE that you made the connection to Across the Universe movie. That was my first thought when hearing this masterpiece and it made me cherish this song even more. Spon on assessment and beautiful reaction.
Ok so I had to watch this video again. And "love is a game" towards the end was giving me some Try a Little tenderness vibes (The version from the Commitments not Otis Reading, as their version has a much bigger ending with the backing vocals as well as the horns) listen from 1:14:32 when she sings "love is a game for fools.... to play" I atomically sang the "oooh oooh oooh oooh" vocals from the commitments version of the song as she finished saying "fool" leading in to "to play" as the way she said fool sounds a bit like an "oooh" - so I went down a rabbit hole and I'm pretty sure this song is a version of the englebert Humperdink version of try a little tenderness with her own additions of course. The whole format of the song is the same including the theatrical intro with the building up each instrument in stages right to the very end & it even fades out in the same way as try a little tenderness does. I'd love your take on it as a producer as I'm no expert & her vocals take it in a completely different direction & nothing like try a little tenderness, the fact its taken me listening to it at least 10 times wondering "what does this remind of?" To actually click shows its not an obvious connection. Heres the englebert version - ruclips.net/video/Fg3NwZ2Nm5Q/видео.html Here's the version from The Commitments that I thought of that made the connection for me (skip to around 3 mins 30 for the actual bit of the song I sang in to Love is a game) ruclips.net/video/PKfHC5eY5CI/видео.html
Esse álbum é incrível e me surpreendeu, apesar do 21 ser atemporal e ter músicas absolutamente marcantes, acredito ser o melhor álbum da Adele quando se fala em produção e equilibro. Essa mulher é tão incrível que ela torna as músicas comoventes com suas composições e forma de cantar, é emocionante e comovente… é como se sentíssemos tudo mesmo estando em situações diferentes de vida. É incrível!
Yes love is a game is one of my favorites and it reminds me of like the end of a movie or musical where its a big song and a drown away ending. So good. She is just incredible
subbed mate, such a good reaction video, riding that line between passion and technical breakdown but also not editing the video so we can still hear the whole songs.
All these videos of yours are very enjoyable to watch. The way your reaction is always done in a positive way and how you are very knowledgeable. It's so cool
I literally don't have the time but I read once a quote that I'm sure it fake. "Real friends don't have time, they make time." So unless my house is in fire I'm staying the hour Blake.
I think even though To Be Loved is the more impressive and more emotional song, Love is the Game sows a certain amount of hope in its final seconds, which is probably the note she wanted to end the album with..

To be Loved is arguably Adele's best song to date. Her MASTERPIECE
Absolutely!!Her vocals on this is in a league of it's own. BRILLIANT 👏
Absolutely brilliant
100% agree
My little love too!! so special and different from the style she used to be known for. It is also very intimate and well produced. A masterpiece!
I cry everytime I hear it 😭
This is how you react to this album. Some other reactors were so disconnected. Thank you for appreciating this masterpiece 💜
Aka Ajayll lol
I mean if they don't like it they don't like it.
@@udb1987 Agreed. However, part of appreciating music is separating your expectation and following where the artists are leading you--you end up appreciating songs more deeply and at a greater variety. :)
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind What if they did separate their expectations and still don't like it? Maybe it just isn't their personal taste? We can't assume they didn't.
@@brianrodriguez6107 I don’t think Ajay has enough life lived to empathise with Adele’s perspective on 30, and probably not even 25.
Yk this album shooked my entire core. I was stunned by the way she re-invented herself & really made a path for artists to keep making art the way they want it to be.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling. Its beautiful piece of poetic art.
You and I are on the same boat! I would always skip around her albums! This one I listened to fully and went: THERE YOU ARE!!
Welcome to albums!
That's is the difference between an artist and singers out there releasing music like garbage in a scheduled date.
Adele’s album really surprised me. I truly think it’s a masterpiece, from the way she is able to convey her emotions in such a raw, heart wrenching form to excelling at each different sound of her songs -vintage, r&b, soul, jazz, dance pop.

Nobody expects "I Drink Wine" to deliver such a solid gut punch until IT DOES
Literally the best song in this album it’s so good I can’t
this is so true oof
True, at first when I saw the title I was like ‘this could be a fun song to dance to’. After that, I fuckin’ cried lol

“I Drink Wine” [Adele’s Version]
rolling stone magazine rated I Drink Wine #3 of all of he songs after Hello and Rolling in the Deep
Love Is A Game is the ultimate closer. It’s like the song playing during the credits to the film (the album).
I’m obsessed with this album, the song “To Be Loved” especially!!!

To Be Loved has me a mess 😭 great reaction and break down as always!
I think this is my favourite Adele album so far. It's such a 'wine by the fireplace and cooking pasta' kind of mood

It's not a nod to Amy at all, although Adele does love Amy this song is not inspired by her music

Great reaction Blake, 'To be loved' is a masterpiece! The whole album is great but that song👌you should react to the raw cut of the song Adele put out on RUclips.
i cant get into this song. for me the highlight is I drink Wine and Hold On
You have no idea how I enjoy and learn watching your reviews. I actually can cry! Excellent job, handsome! Thank you!
I’ve listened to this album and stil sat here watching you reactions for another hour. Definitely worth it. Great video!!!
1:09:49 this album was so cinematic. straight out of a disney movie. I'm absolutely floored.
The no vocal at the end of love is a game reminds me of the end of a musical when the cast run out and bow to the audience, then the last “I’ll do it all again” is like her encore coming back out to the crowd :)
the way you compared To Be Loved to that one song really opened my third eye and makes me appreciate the song so much moreee🤍🥲
It’s always very interesting to watch you review songs as you are a producer. You have interesting views on how the instruments are used, how the songs are structured etc. Thank you! x
I’m so happy that you also liked ‘Can I Get It’ … so many people not appreciating that song!
I just wish it didn’t have the moan, like I get it’s showcasing her change of mindset and freedom to do as she pleases, but something about the chorus doesn’t work for me. But that’s just me!
Oh My God is the only one I don't like that much. Pop is my least fav lol

Not gonna lie. Sorta feel in love here. You have a wonderful ear for musical expression and you definitely helped bring out the albums unique qualities. You’re adorable as well and I love the kitty. Sending you all the good vibes I can spare and here’s to a better tomorrow. Cheers!!
I've seen tons of these reactions to adele 30 album. Yours is one of my favorite.
Your reaction to this entire album is just what Adele wanted, in her Oprah Winfrey interview she said that she thinks and wants to this album will help people go through what they're going through especially Hold On ❤
WOW!!So glad my friends turned me on to your channel I'm a new subscriber after watching this reaction to Adeles 30 CD.What a brilliant peice of work.I have followed Adele from her first release and I remember saying to myself what an amazing voice and with this new CD she's taken the world by storm. I couldn't agree more with your reaction to such a masterpiece 👏
Still the most handsome producer with the cutest smile, nice haircut! Still using my favorite cup of yours 🥺
Loved your take on her album! I Drink Wine seems like an instant classic to me. It obviously spoke to you too. Music does that. Looking forward to what you & Jacob Restituto might be up to! You both have such kind hearts & winning personalities!
Finally! I've been visiting your channel since the release of Adele's 30 to see if you have reacted already.. I'm glad you did now!! 💯
She said in an interview "To Be Loved" will never be sung live, that she can't. She did post a video singing it while sitting on a couch, and posted it on IG. Nov. 17, check it out, it's phenomenal.
You've got a fan for life in me. The way you broke this down and felt every element of the song... a breath of fresh air. I feel like Judy Garland would've sung the hell out of some of these songs.
this album is one of the most experimental albums tbh... by the way, love the reaction!
Wym by that
@@nickyb12345 pretty sure they’re talking about how she’s playing with different genres in this album.
Thanks for your work Blake, you're amazing!!!
Lo estuve esperando ansiosamente, muchas gracias Blakeeeeee!!!
To be loved guts me every time I listen to it. The final minute to a minute and a half she’s just wailing almost
Really enjoyed this reaction 🥰, such an unbelievable album!
Adele’s already on another level there’s no discussion
I, literally, subscribed right before you asked (at the end of Oh My God) ! I’m loving your commentary. Good stuff.
Really liked your commentary on the album. Adele is magnificent on this album
VOCALS AMAZING !!!😍😍😍❤❤❤
She is really a amazing artist !!!!
We 👏🏼 were 👏🏼 waiting 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 this
I really enjoyed this reaction! I have seen other reactions and have felt as if they didn’t understand Adele or the music to the level you did. As soon as you compared it to a song that would be on Disney i yelled me too 🥰 I thought that the first time I heard it as well. Instant subscribe from me!
I have been waiting for you 😭 . thank uu !
On to be loved I LOVE that you made the connection to Across the Universe movie. That was my first thought when hearing this masterpiece and it made me cherish this song even more. Spon on assessment and beautiful reaction.
Ok so I had to watch this video again. And "love is a game" towards the end was giving me some Try a Little tenderness vibes (The version from the Commitments not Otis Reading, as their version has a much bigger ending with the backing vocals as well as the horns) listen from 1:14:32 when she sings "love is a game for fools.... to play" I atomically sang the "oooh oooh oooh oooh" vocals from the commitments version of the song as she finished saying "fool" leading in to "to play" as the way she said fool sounds a bit like an "oooh" - so I went down a rabbit hole and I'm pretty sure this song is a version of the englebert Humperdink version of try a little tenderness with her own additions of course. The whole format of the song is the same including the theatrical intro with the building up each instrument in stages right to the very end & it even fades out in the same way as try a little tenderness does.
I'd love your take on it as a producer as I'm no expert & her vocals take it in a completely different direction & nothing like try a little tenderness, the fact its taken me listening to it at least 10 times wondering "what does this remind of?" To actually click shows its not an obvious connection.
Heres the englebert version -

Here's the version from The Commitments that I thought of that made the connection for me (skip to around 3 mins 30 for the actual bit of the song I sang in to Love is a game)

Esse álbum é incrível e me surpreendeu, apesar do 21 ser atemporal e ter músicas absolutamente marcantes, acredito ser o melhor álbum da Adele quando se fala em produção e equilibro. Essa mulher é tão incrível que ela torna as músicas comoventes com suas composições e forma de cantar, é emocionante e comovente… é como se sentíssemos tudo mesmo estando em situações diferentes de vida. É incrível!
Ooo I saw that little gulp u did during I drink wine. That final verse is sooo good lyrically
Brilliant album, Brilliant commentary as usual
I saw her perform live twice in 2016 when her last album came out and let me tell you its an experience that i will never forget.
I absolutely love this album! Also would love if you reacted to Silk Sonic's album! :)
Appreciate how you deconstruct the album for us from your perspective and based on your experience!
I'm so glad you mentioned 'Let it Be' from Across the Universe. One of my favorite movies and soundtracks.
Hold on is just next level
Can I just say that I enjoy your appreciation for music, every nuance makes sense! Great content and this album is a masterpiece!
Yes love is a game is one of my favorites and it reminds me of like the end of a movie or musical where its a big song and a drown away ending. So good. She is just incredible
subbed mate, such a good reaction video, riding that line between passion and technical breakdown but also not editing the video so we can still hear the whole songs.
I was Waiting for this vid so much
All these videos of yours are very enjoyable to watch. The way your reaction is always done in a positive way and how you are very knowledgeable. It's so cool
Love ur videos, just gave me a whole new look on this album
I literally don't have the time but I read once a quote that I'm sure it fake. "Real friends don't have time, they make time." So unless my house is in fire I'm staying the hour Blake.
She is the real music industry… She has The Voice!!!
Love you blake and I love this reaction too 💗
My little love kills me every time, especially when she gets to the Lonely part... so god damn relatable
Bro this album is fire🔥
my fav album this year, might be my fav one since her last album. true legend.
I think even though To Be Loved is the more impressive and more emotional song, Love is the Game sows a certain amount of hope in its final seconds, which is probably the note she wanted to end the album with..
