I’ve always been an Adele fan and think her ability to capture emotion in her songs is pretty powerful.

BUT, does anyone else find it troubling that almost all of her songs are about current/past relationships?

Listening to her music, you might think relationships are the only thing going on in her life.

She has won 15 Grammys and 18 Billboard Music Awards, is one of the highest-paid female singers of our generation, and is kind of a fashion icon (in my opinion). She has a beautiful son, does Pilates, goes to therapy, and can play the guitar too.

Adele’s a queen. Certified. She definitely has more to sing about than the men she has dated. 👑

The main issue here is that her fan base is mostly 25 to 44 year old, college-educated mothers.. This population can largely benefit from de-centering men/dating/relationships from their lives and focusing on what is best for themselves and their children.

Instead they’re inundated with messaging from the media that romantic relationships should be the focus of their lives.

Personally, I’ll admit that listening to her music sometimes makes me see my exes through rose-colored lenses. 🤮

I love Adele to bits and I think her relationship-centric music is how she processes her dating experiences.

I also think we need more music by female singers that focuses on things other than romantic love. What do you think?
