What's your favourite Adele song?

[shiels]

I have full body goosebumps with that chorus

 

[luka]

hello always feels like talking to a ghost
or a ghost talking to the living
hello from the other side

 

[luka]

going to play some adele now. shes like sade or phil collins. one of the rare whiteys black people revere and worship.

 

[luka]

altho i guess technically sade is not white, if youre splitting hairs

 

[Benny Bunter]

Very occasionally I hear Adele, usually easy on me, out in the wild in a shop or something and it really makes me miss england in all its whiteness.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Lol I meant to say 'shiteness' not whiteness!

 

[shiels]

Hello, easy on me, rolling in the deep. Floored. But I genuinely think easy on me is the best one yet, kills me that song

 

[luka]

yeah its immense. i knew straight away. first few seconds. floored. craner called it 'an atomic melody'

 

[Benny Bunter]

3 classic songs is enough. More than most artists manage

 

[luka]

her voice is slightly silly, or maybe its the accent she affects, but it works. the imitating something that doesnt exist is part of its affective power

 

[luka]

she doesnt sound black or even as if she was trying to sound black. its an odd thing. clearly doesnt sound like herself either.

 

[shiels]

She’s from Tottenham? I’m in Tottenham right now

 

[shiels]

Well Seven Sisters. Third is a Tottenham man isn’t he

 

[luka]

no hes from finchley

 

[luka]

he supports tottenham passionately but he is born and raised in finchley.

 

[shiels]

I love third he’s the wee nerd I defended in school

 

[shiels]

Leave him alone that shiels mate

 

[shiels]

she doesnt sound black or even as if she was trying to sound black. its an odd thing. clearly doesnt sound like herself either.

What does this mean? Doesn’t sound like herself

 

[luka]

she doesnt sing the way she talks

 

[luka]

shes invented an accent to emote in that doesnt exist in real life. its completely imaginary.
