The queen of heartbreak ballads has returned with her highly-anticipated album, "30", and let me tell you, it is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. From the hauntingly beautiful opening track "Strangers By Nature" to the empowering anthem "Can I Get It", Adele takes us on a journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. Her powerhouse vocals are as stunning as ever, effortlessly soaring over the lush orchestration and crisp production.

But it's not all tears and heartache on this album. Adele shows her playful side on tracks like "Oh My God" and "Cry Your Heart Out", where she channels her inner diva and lets loose with some sass and attitude. One of the standout moments on "30" has to be the emotional gut-punch of a ballad, "Hold On".

Adele's raw, honest lyrics about perseverance and hope will have you reaching for the tissues faster than you can say "hello". It's a testament to her talent and growth as an artist, and it will no doubt go down as one of the standout albums of the year. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen - just make sure you have some tissues handy.

Trust me, you'll need them.
