Omg, loving the You Know My Name love here, it’s also my favourite Daniel Craig Bond song. Easy on Me doesn’t have the initial impact that Hello did but it’s still a beautiful song and Adele’s voice just elevates it,
I will say in terms of positives for the song that it's easily her lightest, most agile vocal ever. She dances across it. There's not a chance in hell she's recreating it live, but she produced magic in the studio that day.
Her brand of uber expensive and glamorous appearance mixed with her down to earth North London personality will never not a be a source of fascination to me.
So something happened to my Apple Music that caused my entire library to just disappear except for this damn song... I had to improvise while driving last night so I listened to it on repeat for about an hour and I now really like it ddd.
This reminds me of those radio mixes that used to get constant airplay in the mid 2000s. In the best way, obviously
I do find it weird that for someone as huge as her, they chose an USA-only channel, but no doubt the CBS check was insane. If they sell the rights to other countries to premiere it same time it'd be nice.
They'll already have pre-sold international distro rights for this special before announcing it. For example, we learned about the UK/BBC 30 TV special because it leaked that AMC (TV network) had secured the US distribution rights for it before the Beeb had even announced it. Who knows if that is still happening, but it would make sense to do two separate specials with an eye to having both air in prominent markets around the date of release.
