Their latest 12”, ‘Diamond Cut’ / ‘Bby’, furthers these emotions, by presenting two tracks that will appeal to both the 5am power-hour crew, as well as peak-time hands-pumping afficionados. That the bro duo have managed to resoundingly win the hearts of UK dance floors during a year when nightlife has been thrown into such chaos is a testament to their ever-growing strength in creating electronic anthems.

With it, the stage is set: ready thy (several boxes of) tissues, Adele is back.Ĭreated amidst and in the wake of Adele’s divorce, you could expect all of the tracks to be slow and heart-wrenching, as with its beautiful first single, ‘Easy On Me’. Like its lyrics, the sonic mood of the opening track is akin to a theatrical overture in its orchestral builds and refrains. Lest you were unclear where this album is going, or didn’t catch wind of the pre-release promo fervor, her first words crooned are a large signpost in the appropriate direction. “I’ll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart…” begins Adele on 30.
