From today's featured article  Adele "I Drink Wine" is a song by English singer Adele (pictured) from her fourth studio album 30 (2021). Adele co-wrote the song with its producer Greg Kurstin. It was released by Columbia Records as the album's seventh track on 19 November 2021. "I Drink Wine" is a ballad with gospel influences. It is reminiscent of church music and incorporates a piano and an organ in its instrumentation. The song is about letting go of one's ego and addresses Adele's divorce with Simon Konecki, comprising arduous realisations about the condition of her marriage and life. It received generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom viewed it as one of Adele's best songs and a career highlight. "I Drink Wine" reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Sweden. Joe Talbot directed the music video for the song, in which Adele floats in a river and drinks wine. Adele performed it for her television specials and at the Brit Awards 2022. (Full article...)
