Adele's first album, 19, is of the soul genre, with lyrics describing heartbreak and relationship.Her success occurred simultaneously with several other British female soul singers, with the British press dubbing her a new Amy Winehouse.This was described as a third British Musical Invasion of the US However, Adele called the comparisons between her and other female soul singers lazy, noting "we're a gender, not a genre". All music wrote that "Adele is simply too magical to compare her to anyone." Her second album, 21, shares the folk and soul influences of her debut album, but was further inspired by the American country and Southern blues music to which she had been exposed during her 2008–09 North American tour An Evening with Adele.Composed in the aftermath of the singer's separation from her partner, the album typifies the near dormant tradition of the confessional singer-songwriter in its exploration of heartbreak, self-examination, and forgiveness. Having referred to 21 as a "break-up record", Adele labelled her third studio album, 25, a "make-up record", adding it was about "Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did." Her yearning for her old self, her nostalgia, and melancholy about the passage of time, is a feature of 25, with Adele stating, "I've had a lot of regrets since I turned 25. And sadness hits me in different ways than it used to. There's a lot of things I don't think I'll ever get 'round to doing."

阿黛尔的第一张专辑，19，是与灵魂有关的类型，歌词描述心碎和关系。她的成功与其他几位英国女性灵魂歌手同时出现，英国媒体将她称为一个新的艾米·怀恩豪斯。然而，阿黛尔把她和其他女性灵魂歌手的比较称为“懒惰”，并指出“我们是一个性别，而不是一个流派”。她所有的音乐必表明:“阿黛尔简直太不可思议了，无法将她与任何人相比。”她的第二张专辑《21》分享了她的首张专辑的民间和灵魂的影响，但她在2008-2009北美巡演与阿黛尔的演出中被曝光的美国乡村音乐和南方蓝调音乐进一步激发了她的灵感。这张专辑是在这位歌手与她的搭档分手后创作的，这张专辑体现了忏悔歌手在探索心碎、自我反省和宽恕的过程中几近沉寂的传统。阿黛尔将21岁称为“分手记录”，她将自己的第三张录音室专辑《25》贴上了“化妆记录”的标签，并补充说这是“弥补失去的时间”。弥补我曾经做过的和从未做过的一切。她对自己旧时的怀念，对时光流逝的怀念和惆怅，是25岁的一个特点，阿黛尔说:“自从我25岁以后，我有很多遗憾。悲伤以不同的方式冲击着我。有很多事情我想我永远也不会去做。
