Adele has the most powerful voice in contemporary pop music and has used it to create some of the most emotionally devastating songs of the 21st century. Someone Like You became a phenomenon when she performed it at the BRIT Awards in 2011 — a song so precisely targeted at heartbreak that audiences wept in real time. Rolling in the Deep was her commercial breakthrough — a furious, gospel-inflected declaration of anger and self-possession that topped charts in over 30 countries. Hello was the most anticipated comeback in music history and delivered on every expectation, breaking streaming records within hours of release. Skyfall won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and demonstrated that she could write for cinema as naturally as she wrote for herself. Easy On Me showed she could still devastate audiences more than a decade into her career. Which Adele song is truly her greatest?
