おすすめ曲は「Rolling in the deep」

本名はアデル・ローリー・ブルー・アドキンス。2008年にアルバム『19』でデビュー. 英国BBCの投票企画「サウンド・オブ・2008」にて人気に火が付き、一躍トップシンガーの仲間入り。

エタ・ジェイムズや、ロバータ・フラッグの実力シンガーに影響を受けたアデル。巧みにアレンジしたような、独特のソウルフルな歌声。

その歌声を存分に聴かせることで、ボーカリストとしての魅力が際立った。

アルバム「25」は発売から半年で1800万枚をを記録。英米を含む世界各国でチャート1位を記録している。

このアルバムの成功で、デビュー以来のトータルセールスは3000万枚超え。これは21世紀に入ってから最大の売り上げ記録。

特にアルバムのヒットのけん引役を果たした失恋の曲『Hello』。聞いてみましたが「まあまあか」なっと。ヤッパリこの曲

「Rolling in the deep」

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching at fevered pitch and it’s bringing me out the dark.
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your ship bare.

See how I’ll leave with every piece of you,
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing me out the dark.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can’t help feeling.
We could have had it all,
(Your gonna wish you,never had met me)
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I’ve heard one on you and I’m gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won’t be shared.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
I can’t help feeling,

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with a beating.

Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You’ll pay me back in kind and reap just what you’ve sown.

We could have had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.

アデルの名を世に知らしめた曲です。最初知らないで聞いた時は、絶対にアメリカ人と思っていました。が、イギリス人だったんですね。

25 [解説・歌詞対訳 / ボーナストラック3曲収録 / 国内盤] (XLCDJP740)

created by Rinker

この時から少し、ふくよかになってきた感じがします。売れだすと、結構太っていく歌手が多い。

デミ・ロバートやケリー・クラークソンなどなど大勢います。

海外では、デブである女性自身が「太っている」ことを誇りに思う。一方の男性は女性の「肉」が大好き。海外ではデブの人は、ネガティブではないようすです。

でもねえ、デビュー当時と今は全然別人にしか見えないアデル。頑張ってダイエットして、あの綺麗なモデルみたいなアデルをもう一度見たいと思いませんか？

Someone like you

アルバム「21」でもオススメのsomeone like you。アルバム全体が「振られたオンナの腹いせ」みたいに感じ。でもこの歌は失恋したことから立ち上がる曲。

I heard that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light

[Pre-Chorus] I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face
And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over

[Chorus] Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

[Verse 2] You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

[Pre-Chorus] I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face
And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over

[Chorus] Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

[Bridge] Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

[Breakdown] Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

来日について
アデルもそうですが有名アーティストが、なかなか来日には至りません。

これだけのヒットメーカが何故？多分その理由は、アデル自身のアーティストとしてのアピールが、少ないようなきがします。

いつも聞いている「あの曲」が誰でも踊れるように【スポともダンス】

アデルの人気を支えているのは純粋に歌。今のsnsの時代、ツイッターやフェイスブックなど情報発信には熱心。

かなり活用していますが、内容は殆ど音楽に関するものが中心。日本のメディアからすると、あまりおもしろくないのか。後子供がいるので、それが理由のひとつ。

洋楽の中心となっているのは、アメリカとイギリスとその周辺。今、日本では音楽面でも過疎化が進んでいます。日本のアーティストを聴く人がほとんど。だから海外アーティストが、ヒットしないのも当然かも。英語圏の歌を知っている必要もないのかもしれない。

でもこれだけ素晴らしい音楽を知らないなんて、もったいないと思いませんか？

テイラー・スウィフトやアリアナ・グランデが人気なのは、ビジュアル面。

アデルは彼女らとは違いビジュアル面とか、アイドル性の実を持たない実力派アーティスト。それが日本で受けていない理由の一つ。日本で大ヒットする洋楽女性アーティストは、ほとんどがビジュアルが良いシンガー。

それが理由でアデルは、日本で売れる要素が少ないのでしょう。でもその歌唱力抜群の実力はどんなものか！

知らない人はまず聴いて納得。絶対に好きになるのは間違いなしです。

Set Fire To The Rain

グラミー賞の最優秀ポップ・ソロ・パフォーマンス賞を受賞した曲。迫力ある歌声と、ドラマティックなメロディーに圧倒されてしまいます。

壮大であり、何度聴いても感動する1曲。

[Verse 1] I felt it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they’re strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
And the games you’d play, you could always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here, forever
You and me together, nothing is better
‘Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
‘Cause I hear it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, somethin’ died,
‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we’re already over
I can’t help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
‘Casue I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, somethin’ died
‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
