When the world was first introduced to Adele<\/a> Adkins on the release of her debut album 19 <\/em>in 2008, it was apparent there were many layers to the little-known teenager. Armed with unmatched vocals and a commanding stage presence, backstage, the singer ironically appeared quirky, carefree and not at all similar to the emotionally-driven woman we heard in her lyrics and music.<\/p>\n

The same could be said for Adele 13 years later, and on the eve of her fourth studio album, 30<\/em>. But after a six-year hiatus from music, the 33-year-old is far more mature in her experience with love and devastating loss \u2013 and said maturity is unmistakable in her next body of work.<\/p>\n

In my journalistic naivety, I entered a media preview of 30<\/em> this week with the intention of unpacking all the unspoken truths of the singer\u2019s divorce to entrepreneur Simon Konecki<\/a>. And furthermore, her new-found love with NBA agent Rich Paul<\/a>. I soon realized that just one playback could not do the 12-track album justice (nor could 850 words) and that every time I listen to a song, I will discover a new unheard detail. That is the most exciting aspect of this new album: You need to listen to 30<\/em> twice, to hear it once.<\/p>\n
