Engagement to Rich Paul
Since last year, Adele has been engaged to Rich Paul. Can someone please add that under Partner in the info box ? 76.64.181.63 (talk) 05:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Partner parameter is for longterm unmarried life partners. Plus there are conflicting sources on their relationship, so until they confirm it themselves with a reliable source theres no rush to add it LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Genres
Regarding the genres in the infobox, here is some content showing what type of singer Adele is.

Adele is considered a soul singer by Billboard, and that she is "known for infusing jazz and soul music into her timeless, emotionally charged ballads", CNN International, Deutsche Welle, The Guardian, The Independent: "Adele has achieved soul diva status", Kathimerini: "British soul singer Adele" ("Η Βρετανή τραγουδίστρια της σόουλ Αντέλ"), first paragraph, Kommersant: "English soul singer named Adele" ("соул-певицы по имени Адель"), second paragraph,, Le Monde: "Adele, soul diva", The New Yorkers Amanda Petrusich: "the most popular living soul singer in the world", and "Adele a soul singer in the most expansive and truest sense," The New York Times James C. McKinley Jr., Rolling Stone, and The Washington Post.

For "blue-eyed soul singer Adele", see Billboard, and The New Yorker's Amanda Petrusich: "direct echoes of blue-eyed soul acts like Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark in her work".

For soul, blues, and gospel, see The New Yorker's: Carrie Battan: "Adele's contemporary take on soul, blues, and gospel has been appreciated as a monument to tradition".

For "one of the rising stars of neo-soul", see NPR.

Considered a pop singer (incuding "pop superstar" and "pop star") by Le Figaro: "Adele is one of the pop artists" ("Adele est l'une des artistes pop"), Los Angeles Times, NBC News, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The New Zealand Herald, The Sydney Morning Herald, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal.

For soul pop, see Der Spiegel: "The Soul Pop-Singer" ("Die Soul-Pop-Sängerin"). and Exclaim!: "UK soul-pop powerhouse Adele".

Contemporary R&B in the infobox is irrelevant and WP:FRINGE because it departs significantly from the prevailing views or mainstream views. Dean Van Nguyen of PopMatters describes modern R&B with "synthetic drum beats", "all singing, all dancing entertainers", "artificial production methods and contemporary R&B became distinguished by a drum machine-backed rhythms", and "digital production methods". Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail describes a song on 30 as a crisp clap-happy R&B number", but it is a song. Wheeler: "Adele is a confessional singer-songwriter in favour of Motown and blues." Same with The New York Times (2021): "the British pop-soul torch singer", and then, "production on some songs feels in conversation with contemporary R&B". This is also why Adele's entire work doesn't fit contemporary R&B.

Phil Gallo of Variety considered Adele an R&B singer in 2008 when he reviewed the 19 album. He wrote that she has an "affinity for strains of soul music" and that "Her phrasing, for the most part, veers toward the softer R&B singers, a bit of Dionne Warwick, Minnie Ripperton and Dusty Springfield". These three singers are linked to old-style R&B, rhythm and blues. Gallo: "Adele is taking a broader perspective, assimilating various pre-disco R&B styles".

I think pop and soul are the infobox's most relevant and prevailing genres. Contemporary R&B should be removed. Oroborvs (talk) 17:27, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

American accent?
Would it be possible to explain why she seems to have an American accent when she sings, but not when she talks? I can find no mention of this in the Voice section Paul Magnussen (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
