Celebs are just like us! Adele ALWAYS sobs when she hears Hello
Breaking news! It turns out that even Adele is not immune to a good bout of bawling whenever she hears her own music.
In fact, Adele is very aware that her music makes you cry, and is revealing that she uses herself as the test subject to determine whether or not a song is good enough to be tear-inducing.
In her latest interview with The New York Times, Adele said that she knows she's got a good tune on her hands when she feels herself start to well up.
"In order for me to feel confident with one of my songs it has to really move me," she explained. "That's how I know that I've written a good song for myself — it's when I start crying. It's when I just break out in [expletive] tears in the vocal booth or in the studio, and I'll need a moment to myself."
So when you hear Hello and start sobbing over the missed romantic opportunity with that random guy on the bus that you briefly made eye contact with 2007, you're exactly the kind of audience that Adele is working to reach. She really knows what gets to us all.
Prior to the release of her latest tear-jerker, Adele worried that she'd waited too long to release another album. She explained that she didn't see much buzz about the teaser that played during The X Factor — she only saw three tweets. "I was like, 'Oh, no, I've missed my window.”
"'Oh, no, it's too late. The comeback's gone. No one cares.'" Her boyfriend then showed her that the tweets actually numbered in the thousands, with good reason.
Hello seems to have been played nonstop since the release, and the amount of memes that is has inspired have surely broken some sort of internet record.
Hello sold more than a million downloads in a week and is poised to become the biggest song of 2015. So, Adele is clearly content with her in-studio testing process of crying her eyes out.
