Adele’s third album, 25, sold over three million copies in the US and over 800,000 copies in the UK in just seven days, and tickets for her 2016 world tour sold out in minutes. Basically, it's impossible to be alive and not know who Adele is. From important questions like ‘is Adele a feminist?’ to explanations of what her albums are actually about, this book has the answers every fan needs.
"Everything you wanted to know about Adele, and some things you never thought to ask. Cultural critic Amy Mackelden turns an eye on the pop phenomenon and asks why do we care?
It’s so refreshing to finally see an assessment of a female artist, of any kind, on her own terms. The writer captures her subject so well you won’t be able to read this book without feeling strangely compelled to watch Adele videos.”
