Oh how Adele loves the blues. New single Rumour Has It is in many ways a continuation to the story Rolling In The Deep - again touting a girl-power message of defiance, it was always a standout from the star's 21 album.
With its swaggery chorus and bludgeoning, stompy beat, you're left wondering what it was that the cast-off guy did that was so bad to rouse Adele's anger into penning a song like this. It's impassioned to the point of bitterness; you can positively taste that acid-tongued disapproval flying from her mouth.
Obvious standout it might be, its heavy-handed nature never appealed overtly to me - except, it has to be said, when the track shifts mid way into a hauntingly soulful ballad. It is here that Adele will always reap her greatest successes - that soaring vocal line is sublime.
Rumour Has It is released on the 21st November.
