Hey, welcome to stream state,
your weekly podcast all about the state of
2
00:00:12.429 --> 00:00:16.269
streaming and music. My Name's Carla
and here's your update on the top songs,
3
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:20.070
artists and music videos of the week
across the streaming platforms we love to
4
00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:24.699
use. And today is the first
episode of season two of stream state.
5
00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:27.859
I can't believe I've made it this
far, and it's also the first ever
6
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:32.259
episode where stay by the kidle Roy
Featuring Justin Bieber, has not been the
7
00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.689
most stream song. This week,
Adele's first release in six years, easy
8
00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:39.850
on me, was the most listen
to song on spotify, with eighty five
9
00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:44.090
million streams, which is head and
shoulders above the second most dream songs stay,
10
00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:48.049
which had forty six moon streams.
Easy on me was written by a
11
00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:52.039
dull and Greg Kurston and was released
on Friday the fifteen of October, two
12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.000
weeks after some mysterious billboards popped up
presumably announcing her upcoming album titled Thirty.
13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.640
Just before her leading single dropped,
a dull confirmed her fourth studio album would
14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.189
be dropping on November nineteen, and
this is a follow up to her previous
15
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:10.909
three albums titled Nineteen, Twenty One
and twenty five. Which all reference and
16
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:12.989
talk about what she was going through
in her life at each of those ages,
17
00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.109
staying true to a dull style.
Easy on me is an emotional piano
18
00:01:18.189 --> 00:01:22.180
ballad and after a six year break
from releasing new music or being Inter d
19
00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.500
by the press, it was one
of the most anticipated releases of the year.
20
00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:40.569
Child chance. During those six years, Adell got married and divorced from
21
00:01:40.569 --> 00:01:44.329
her ex husband, Simon Knecky,
and throughout that time she shared very little
22
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:48.200
about what she was going through with
her fans. The huge anticipation of her
23
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.879
new music and her finally opening up
about a relationship led the song to being
24
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.760
streamed twenty four million times on spotify
in twenty four hours, breaking the record
25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.750
for the most stream song in one
day. Go a dull. In the
26
00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:04.310
lead up to the song's release,
a doll was on the cover of both
27
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:07.750
vogue essay and Vogue UK, which
has never been purposely done before, and
28
00:02:07.830 --> 00:02:12.750
in the corresponding interview she went into
detail about her relationship with her father and
29
00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.939
her marriage and divorce from Simon Knnecky, which gave context to the new music.
30
00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:20.099
So we're going to break down these
interviews and discuss the meaning of her
31
00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:23.379
song easy on me and what we
can expect to see from her upcoming album.
32
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:27.419
Adele was born and raised in London
by her mother, Penny Adkins,
33
00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.090
and she had a strange relationship with
her father. After her parents divorced shortly
34
00:02:30.129 --> 00:02:34.930
after she was born. Her father, Mark Evans, had problems with alcohol,
35
00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:38.330
which ended up influencing a similar struggle
for a dull throughout her s.
36
00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:42.289
As she was processing the impact that
her absent father had had on her childhood,
37
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:46.719
she said not being sure if someone
who is supposed to love you loves
38
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.479
you and doesn't prioritize you in any
capacity. When you're little, you assume
39
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.960
it and get used to it.
So my relationship with men my entire life
40
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.199
has always been you're going to hurt
me, so I'll hurt you first.
41
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.789
It's toxic and prevents me from finding
any happiness. In Two thousand and twelve,
42
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:05.069
a dull and her ex husband Simon
had their son Angelo, and in
43
00:03:05.189 --> 00:03:07.870
two thousand and sixteen she referred to
Simon as her husband at the Grammy Awards,
44
00:03:08.349 --> 00:03:12.469
but she confirmed recently. The timeline
the press have on my relationship is
45
00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:15.860
completely wrong. It wasn't until two
thousand and eighteen at thirty years old when
46
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:20.460
Adele and Simon actually got married,
but she always referred to him as her
47
00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:23.939
husband because they had a kid together
at the same age of thirty. She
48
00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:27.770
said my entire life fell apart and
I had no warning of it. She
49
00:03:27.849 --> 00:03:30.289
didn't detail exactly when the marriage started
coming to an end and when she was
50
00:03:30.330 --> 00:03:32.689
asked this, she said, I'm
not going to go into that detail.
51
00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:37.129
Remember, I'm embarrassed. This is
very embarrassing. It wasn't very long.
52
00:03:37.729 --> 00:03:39.409
In the same year she was married
to Simon, the opening vocal of the
53
00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:46.360
song came to her when she was
singing in the shower. Oh, in
54
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:55.270
Thesovis, they'd have been a lush
in mys in. She said it just
55
00:03:55.469 --> 00:03:59.389
wasn't right for me anymore. Neither
of US did anything wrong, it was
56
00:03:59.509 --> 00:04:02.189
just I want my son to see
me really love and be loved. The
57
00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:05.669
reason to leave the marriage was in
pursuit of her own happiness and even though
58
00:04:05.669 --> 00:04:09.469
it was hard on her son Angelo, she said, when he sees me
59
00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:12.259
in that happiness, then maybe I'll
be able to forgive myself for it.
60
00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:15.740
Now Simon and Adele are still incredibly
close. He lives in a house across
61
00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:18.980
the street from hers in Beverly Hills. They share custody of Angelo and make
62
00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:23.860
an effort to spend time together as
a family. After going through her own
63
00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:26.850
divorce, she began to empathize with
what her parents went through when she was
64
00:04:26.970 --> 00:04:30.850
younger, and before her father passed
away in May this year after battling cancer,
65
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:33.329
she found the strength to forgive him
for his absence and for selling stories
66
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:36.930
about her to the media. She
played her new album to him over zoom
67
00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:41.120
a week before he passed away and
she said, I know he loved me
68
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.000
and we got our peace before he
died. The music video for easy on
69
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.879
me was directed by Xavier Dolan,
the same person behind the music video for
70
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.519
Hallo, and it starts in black
and white as she explains the decision to
71
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.470
walk away from her marriage, but
it ends in color as she comes to
72
00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:59.110
terms with her decision to put herself
first, asking her ex husband and her
73
00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:02.029
son for their understanding. She said
I bawled my eyes out when I was
74
00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:05.269
writing it and singing it for the
record, but there's an element of hope
75
00:05:05.269 --> 00:05:08.579
in it, which in turn gave
me hope, because I was at my
76
00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:12.259
wits end in the beginning of two
thousand and nineteen. It feels kind of
77
00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:15.259
strange in a little bit rude talking
about someone's very personal details about their relationship,
78
00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:18.220
but this is the narrative that Adele
has shared with the media in the
79
00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:23.370
promotion of her upcoming album, and
I think this public vulnerability has really allowed
80
00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:27.170
her fans to create a deeper emotional
connection to her and has been a huge
81
00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:30.089
contributing acted to the song success.
So do we think the rest of the
82
00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:33.009
album will follow suit? When she
was asked what was going to be about
83
00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:36.399
on an instagram live stream, adult
said, what's my next ample be based
84
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.360
on the voce FAI divorce. She
also said in a vogue interview, I
85
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.000
feel like this album is self destruction, then self reflection and then sort of
86
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.680
self redemption. She wanted the album
to be a way of explaining things to
87
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.910
her son when he was older.
But November nineteen, per album thirty is
88
00:05:53.949 --> 00:05:58.149
expected to drop, alongside a concert
performance from adult and an interview with Oprah
89
00:05:58.189 --> 00:06:01.829
winfree on CBS. Currently, easy
on me has been streamed on spotify and
90
00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:05.620
viewed on Youtube a hundred and seven
million times respectively, and I think we
91
00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:11.500
can expect a very successful album launch
come mid November. Okay, back to
92
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:14.259
the most stream songs this week.
As I said before, stay by the
93
00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:16.819
Kid Leroy featuring Justin Bieber, is
the second most stream song on spotify,
94
00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:21.370
currently sitting at nine hundred and thirty
million streams in total. Watch this song
95
00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:25.689
hit a billion in the next ten
days, I reckon. The third most
96
00:06:25.689 --> 00:06:29.170
stream song is industry baby by little
NAS x featuring Jack Harlow, which is
97
00:06:29.209 --> 00:06:32.519
sitting at five hundred and eighty total
million streams. The fourth is heat waves
98
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.000
by glass animals, sitting at seven
hundred and forty million streams, and the
99
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.000
fifth is my universe by Coldplay and
bets, sitting at a hundred and thirty
100
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.680
five million streams. And I've gone
into detail about all of these songs in
101
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.550
previous episodes of stream state. So
a shameless plug here. Go back and
102
00:06:47.589 --> 00:06:50.069
have a listen if you want to
learn more about the songs in the artists.
103
00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:58.029
Think I got their Buddy Daddy,
because I'm always deserved, to prepare
104
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.420
some did you decide to keep it
play on the top trending music video of
105
00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:05.500
the weeks? He's a global collaboration
between the Houston born female RAPP UP Megan
106
00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:11.500
Thee Stallion, the kpop group Black
pinks member Lisa, the French record producer
107
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:15.730
Dj snake, and the Porto Rican
singer Osuna with their new song SG,
108
00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:18.930
which is short for sexy girl and
was released a few days ago on October
109
00:07:19.009 --> 00:07:24.850
twenty two. SG is a Latin
dance hall track with both Spanish and English
110
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.930
lyrics about wanting to spend a night
with a sexy girl, but in the
111
00:07:28.009 --> 00:07:30.000
end the girl wants to fall in
love rather than just spend one night together.
112
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.040
The Tropical Music Video was produced by
Colin Tilly, who also worked on
113
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.509
the Kid Leroy and Baber's stay,
as well as Cardi B and Megan the
114
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:49.149
stewings Wap, and everyone was filmed
in person, apart from Lisa, who
115
00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:51.509
was green screened in, and I
kind of wish I didn't learn that,
116
00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:55.750
because the entire time I was watching
the music videos just looking for evidence of
117
00:07:55.829 --> 00:08:00.220
the green screen, which there's hardly
any. The collaboration between DJ SNAKE AND
118
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.899
LISA was hinted back in May,
after DJ snake posted a series of now
119
00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:07.939
deleted tweets, and then in September
or Una announced the song in an interview
120
00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:11.860
at the MTV video music awards.
At the time of recording the music.
121
00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:15.290
Big Video is sitting at twenty seven
million views on youtube and has three million
122
00:08:15.329 --> 00:08:20.370
streams on spotify. This is Lisa's
first solo collaboration and Megan's second KPOP Colab,
123
00:08:20.529 --> 00:08:24.490
after she released a remix of bts
as butter in August. On the
124
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:30.519
topic, Megan also recently announced her
upcoming project called something for the hotties from
125
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.559
the archives, which will be a
collection of freestyles and unreleased tracks, which
126
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.440
is dropping on October twenty nine,
and I am so excited for that.
127
00:08:43.350 --> 00:08:50.470
If you this week season two of
stream state, we're introducing a new segment
128
00:08:50.870 --> 00:08:54.070
where I can tell you about the
biggest album release of the week. This
129
00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:58.100
week, the seventy four year old
multimillion selling artist Alton John released his thirty
130
00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:03.419
second studio album called the lockdown sessions, which features a roll call of huge
131
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:09.179
names like Miley Cyrus, juelieper LIL
NAS X, Steve Nick's gorillas, per
132
00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:11.850
now, young thug and Nicki Minaj, to name a few. He previously
133
00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:16.009
released eight of the sixteen tracks and
at the beginning of September he announced that
134
00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:20.330
they would be featured on his upcoming
album, dropping on October twenty two,
135
00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:22.690
which is a project he was working
on since the start of the pandemic in
136
00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:26.240
March two thousand and twenty after his
tour was put on pause. He said
137
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.320
the last thing I expected to do
during lockdown was make an album, but
138
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.960
as the pandemic went on, one
of projects kept cropping up. All of
139
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.830
the tracks I worked on were really
interesting and diverse, stuff that was completely
140
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:41.909
different to anything I'm known for,
stuff that took me out of my comfort
141
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:46.549
zone into a completely new territory,
and I realized there was something weirdly familiar
142
00:09:46.549 --> 00:09:48.629
about working like this. At the
start of my career in the late S,
143
00:09:50.149 --> 00:09:52.659
I worked as a session musician,
working with different artist dry in lockdown
144
00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:56.940
remind me of that. I had
come full circle. I was a session
145
00:09:56.980 --> 00:10:00.580
musician again, and it was still
a blast. The lead single of the
146
00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.700
album is cold heart, which is
a mashup of his songs rocket man,
147
00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:07.809
sacrifice and kiss the bride, and
it's a collaboration with jewelieper and remixed by
148
00:10:07.889 --> 00:10:20.169
the Australian dance pop triopen now cool. The song debut at number eighty one
149
00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:26.200
on the billboard hot one hundred,
becoming alton sixty eight chart entry. It's
150
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.159
currently sitting at forty eight million views
on youtube and has a hundred and sixty
151
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.399
nine million streams on spotify after being
released on the thirteen of August this year.
152
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.190
Alton has always had his finger on
the pulse of modern pop music.
153
00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:41.830
He apparently used to send his assistant
out every Tuesday to buy all the new
154
00:10:41.870 --> 00:10:45.190
releases so he could keep up to
date with new popular artist and he's always
155
00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:50.179
enthusiastically supporting and sharing his admiration for
younger musicians. I think even though Alton
156
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:52.820
could have been using lockdown as an
excuse to take a bit of a break
157
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:56.659
and enjoy living on the massive royalties
have coming in from his huge back catalog
158
00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:03.139
of songs, it's absolutely commendable that
he continues producing work, evolving his music
159
00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:07.009
and contributing to the popular sounds of
today, proving to us that no age
160
00:11:07.009 --> 00:11:18.009
or pandemic can put a stop to
someone's passion. Let's danced law see a
161
00:11:18.169 --> 00:11:24.559
DABS and next, my song of
the week is a well known classic,
162
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.639
and it only relates to this episode
because Elton John Did a cover of it
163
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.799
five years after it was released.
Tear drops is a song and it was
164
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.190
released in nineteen eighty eight by womack
and womack on their fourth studio album called
165
00:11:35.429 --> 00:11:39.830
conscience. Womack and womack are an
American Jeo made up of Linda and her
166
00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:45.269
husband, Cecil Womack. The song
tear drops is a Funky Dance Bang up
167
00:11:45.309 --> 00:11:48.940
with sad lyrics that contradict the uplifting
sound with a joy singing about a relationship
168
00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:54.419
that regrettably broke down because someone wasn't
faithful and fully aligned with this episodes unintentional
169
00:11:54.500 --> 00:12:00.419
theme of relationships, Linda and Cecil
Womack had a pretty complicated relationship story.
170
00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:05.529
Linda was the daughter of the legendary
soul singer Sam Cook, who knew Cecil
171
00:12:05.529 --> 00:12:09.889
Womack from his days as part of
the group the Valentinos. After Sam Cook
172
00:12:09.009 --> 00:12:13.450
was tragically shot by Motel manager in
La in one thousand nine hundred and sixty
173
00:12:13.490 --> 00:12:16.159
four, Cecil met Sam's daughter Linda
when she was eight years old and he
174
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.639
was thirteen, and they became close
friends. However, Cecil's brother Bobby Married
175
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.679
Sam Cook's widow Barbara and became Linda's
stepfather, and Cecil married Mary Wells,
176
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:39.549
who's the singer behind the song my
guy, Cecil and Mary had three kids
177
00:12:39.549 --> 00:12:41.429
together, then divorced in one thousand
nine hundred and seventy seven, and shortly
178
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:46.299
after Linda and Cecil got married,
which are the Joey Womack and womack.
179
00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:50.500
So Linda's stepfather was her brother in
law and her husband's brother was also her
180
00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:54.980
stepfather. Nevertheless, though, an
extremely talented family of musicians, from the
181
00:12:56.059 --> 00:13:00.009
incredible Sam Cook all the way to
the iconic s Joe Womack and womack,
182
00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:03.289
who you'll still hear being played at
clubs and parties today. And tear drops
183
00:13:03.370 --> 00:13:07.450
is the perfect theme song to warmer
weather, cold beer and the freedom to
184
00:13:07.490 --> 00:13:11.289
dance indoors and hang out with friends. That is all for stream state this

Hey, welcome to stream state,
your weekly podcast all about the state of
2
00:00:12.429 --> 00:00:16.269
streaming and music. My Name's Carla
and here's your update on the top songs,
3
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:20.070
artists and music videos of the week
across the streaming platforms we love to
4
00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:24.699
use. And today is the first
episode of season two of stream state.
5
00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:27.859
I can't believe I've made it this
far, and it's also the first ever
6
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:32.259
episode where stay by the kidle Roy
Featuring Justin Bieber, has not been the
7
00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.689
most stream song. This week,
Adele's first release in six years, easy
8
00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:39.850
on me, was the most listen
to song on spotify, with eighty five
9
00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:44.090
million streams, which is head and
shoulders above the second most dream songs stay,
10
00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:48.049
which had forty six moon streams.
Easy on me was written by a
11
00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:52.039
dull and Greg Kurston and was released
on Friday the fifteen of October, two
12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.000
weeks after some mysterious billboards popped up
presumably announcing her upcoming album titled Thirty.
13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.640
Just before her leading single dropped,
a dull confirmed her fourth studio album would
14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.189
be dropping on November nineteen, and
this is a follow up to her previous
15
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:10.909
three albums titled Nineteen, Twenty One
and twenty five. Which all reference and
16
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:12.989
talk about what she was going through
in her life at each of those ages,
17
00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.109
staying true to a dull style.
Easy on me is an emotional piano
18
00:01:18.189 --> 00:01:22.180
ballad and after a six year break
from releasing new music or being Inter d
19
00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.500
by the press, it was one
of the most anticipated releases of the year.
20
00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:40.569
Child chance. During those six years, Adell got married and divorced from
21
00:01:40.569 --> 00:01:44.329
her ex husband, Simon Knecky,
and throughout that time she shared very little
22
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:48.200
about what she was going through with
her fans. The huge anticipation of her
23
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.879
new music and her finally opening up
about a relationship led the song to being
24
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.760
streamed twenty four million times on spotify
in twenty four hours, breaking the record
25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.750
for the most stream song in one
day. Go a dull. In the
26
00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:04.310
lead up to the song's release,
a doll was on the cover of both
27
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:07.750
vogue essay and Vogue UK, which
has never been purposely done before, and
28
00:02:07.830 --> 00:02:12.750
in the corresponding interview she went into
detail about her relationship with her father and
29
00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.939
her marriage and divorce from Simon Knnecky, which gave context to the new music.
30
00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:20.099
So we're going to break down these
interviews and discuss the meaning of her
31
00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:23.379
song easy on me and what we
can expect to see from her upcoming album.
32
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:27.419
Adele was born and raised in London
by her mother, Penny Adkins,
33
00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.090
and she had a strange relationship with
her father. After her parents divorced shortly
34
00:02:30.129 --> 00:02:34.930
after she was born. Her father, Mark Evans, had problems with alcohol,
35
00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:38.330
which ended up influencing a similar struggle
for a dull throughout her s.
36
00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:42.289
As she was processing the impact that
her absent father had had on her childhood,
37
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:46.719
she said not being sure if someone
who is supposed to love you loves
38
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.479
you and doesn't prioritize you in any
capacity. When you're little, you assume
39
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.960
it and get used to it.
So my relationship with men my entire life
40
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.199
has always been you're going to hurt
me, so I'll hurt you first.
41
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.789
It's toxic and prevents me from finding
any happiness. In Two thousand and twelve,
42
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:05.069
a dull and her ex husband Simon
had their son Angelo, and in
43
00:03:05.189 --> 00:03:07.870
two thousand and sixteen she referred to
Simon as her husband at the Grammy Awards,
44
00:03:08.349 --> 00:03:12.469
but she confirmed recently. The timeline
the press have on my relationship is
45
00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:15.860
completely wrong. It wasn't until two
thousand and eighteen at thirty years old when
46
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:20.460
Adele and Simon actually got married,
but she always referred to him as her
47
00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:23.939
husband because they had a kid together
at the same age of thirty. She
48
00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:27.770
said my entire life fell apart and
I had no warning of it. She
49
00:03:27.849 --> 00:03:30.289
didn't detail exactly when the marriage started
coming to an end and when she was
50
00:03:30.330 --> 00:03:32.689
asked this, she said, I'm
not going to go into that detail.
51
00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:37.129
Remember, I'm embarrassed. This is
very embarrassing. It wasn't very long.
52
00:03:37.729 --> 00:03:39.409
In the same year she was married
to Simon, the opening vocal of the
53
00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:46.360
song came to her when she was
singing in the shower. Oh, in
54
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:55.270
Thesovis, they'd have been a lush
in mys in. She said it just
55
00:03:55.469 --> 00:03:59.389
wasn't right for me anymore. Neither
of US did anything wrong, it was
56
00:03:59.509 --> 00:04:02.189
just I want my son to see
me really love and be loved. The
57
00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:05.669
reason to leave the marriage was in
pursuit of her own happiness and even though
58
00:04:05.669 --> 00:04:09.469
it was hard on her son Angelo, she said, when he sees me
59
00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:12.259
in that happiness, then maybe I'll
be able to forgive myself for it.
60
00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:15.740
Now Simon and Adele are still incredibly
close. He lives in a house across
61
00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:18.980
the street from hers in Beverly Hills. They share custody of Angelo and make
62
00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:23.860
an effort to spend time together as
a family. After going through her own
63
00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:26.850
divorce, she began to empathize with
what her parents went through when she was
64
00:04:26.970 --> 00:04:30.850
younger, and before her father passed
away in May this year after battling cancer,
65
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:33.329
she found the strength to forgive him
for his absence and for selling stories
66
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:36.930
about her to the media. She
played her new album to him over zoom
67
00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:41.120
a week before he passed away and
she said, I know he loved me
68
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.000
and we got our peace before he
died. The music video for easy on
69
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.879
me was directed by Xavier Dolan,
the same person behind the music video for
70
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.519
Hallo, and it starts in black
and white as she explains the decision to
71
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.470
walk away from her marriage, but
it ends in color as she comes to
72
00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:59.110
terms with her decision to put herself
first, asking her ex husband and her
73
00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:02.029
son for their understanding. She said
I bawled my eyes out when I was
74
00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:05.269
writing it and singing it for the
record, but there's an element of hope
75
00:05:05.269 --> 00:05:08.579
in it, which in turn gave
me hope, because I was at my
76
00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:12.259
wits end in the beginning of two
thousand and nineteen. It feels kind of
77
00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:15.259
strange in a little bit rude talking
about someone's very personal details about their relationship,
78
00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:18.220
but this is the narrative that Adele
has shared with the media in the
79
00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:23.370
promotion of her upcoming album, and
I think this public vulnerability has really allowed
80
00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:27.170
her fans to create a deeper emotional
connection to her and has been a huge
81
00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:30.089
contributing acted to the song success.
So do we think the rest of the
82
00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:33.009
album will follow suit? When she
was asked what was going to be about
83
00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:36.399
on an instagram live stream, adult
said, what's my next ample be based
84
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.360
on the voce FAI divorce. She
also said in a vogue interview, I
85
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.000
feel like this album is self destruction, then self reflection and then sort of
86
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.680
self redemption. She wanted the album
to be a way of explaining things to
87
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.910
her son when he was older.
But November nineteen, per album thirty is
88
00:05:53.949 --> 00:05:58.149
expected to drop, alongside a concert
performance from adult and an interview with Oprah
89
00:05:58.189 --> 00:06:01.829
winfree on CBS. Currently, easy
on me has been streamed on spotify and
90
00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:05.620
viewed on Youtube a hundred and seven
million times respectively, and I think we
91
00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:11.500
can expect a very successful album launch
come mid November. Okay, back to
92
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:14.259
the most stream songs this week.
As I said before, stay by the
93
00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:16.819
Kid Leroy featuring Justin Bieber, is
the second most stream song on spotify,
94
00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:21.370
currently sitting at nine hundred and thirty
million streams in total. Watch this song
95
00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:25.689
hit a billion in the next ten
days, I reckon. The third most
96
00:06:25.689 --> 00:06:29.170
stream song is industry baby by little
NAS x featuring Jack Harlow, which is
97
00:06:29.209 --> 00:06:32.519
sitting at five hundred and eighty total
million streams. The fourth is heat waves
98
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.000
by glass animals, sitting at seven
hundred and forty million streams, and the
99
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.000
fifth is my universe by Coldplay and
bets, sitting at a hundred and thirty
100
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.680
five million streams. And I've gone
into detail about all of these songs in
101
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.550
previous episodes of stream state. So
a shameless plug here. Go back and
102
00:06:47.589 --> 00:06:50.069
have a listen if you want to
learn more about the songs in the artists.
103
00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:58.029
Think I got their Buddy Daddy,
because I'm always deserved, to prepare
104
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.420
some did you decide to keep it
play on the top trending music video of
105
00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:05.500
the weeks? He's a global collaboration
between the Houston born female RAPP UP Megan
106
00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:11.500
Thee Stallion, the kpop group Black
pinks member Lisa, the French record producer
107
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:15.730
Dj snake, and the Porto Rican
singer Osuna with their new song SG,
108
00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:18.930
which is short for sexy girl and
was released a few days ago on October
109
00:07:19.009 --> 00:07:24.850
twenty two. SG is a Latin
dance hall track with both Spanish and English
110
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.930
lyrics about wanting to spend a night
with a sexy girl, but in the
111
00:07:28.009 --> 00:07:30.000
end the girl wants to fall in
love rather than just spend one night together.
112
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.040
The Tropical Music Video was produced by
Colin Tilly, who also worked on
113
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.509
the Kid Leroy and Baber's stay,
as well as Cardi B and Megan the
114
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:49.149
stewings Wap, and everyone was filmed
in person, apart from Lisa, who
115
00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:51.509
was green screened in, and I
kind of wish I didn't learn that,
116
00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:55.750
because the entire time I was watching
the music videos just looking for evidence of
117
00:07:55.829 --> 00:08:00.220
the green screen, which there's hardly
any. The collaboration between DJ SNAKE AND
118
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.899
LISA was hinted back in May,
after DJ snake posted a series of now
119
00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:07.939
deleted tweets, and then in September
or Una announced the song in an interview
120
00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:11.860
at the MTV video music awards.
At the time of recording the music.
121
00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:15.290
Big Video is sitting at twenty seven
million views on youtube and has three million
122
00:08:15.329 --> 00:08:20.370
streams on spotify. This is Lisa's
first solo collaboration and Megan's second KPOP Colab,
123
00:08:20.529 --> 00:08:24.490
after she released a remix of bts
as butter in August. On the
124
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:30.519
topic, Megan also recently announced her
upcoming project called something for the hotties from
125
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.559
the archives, which will be a
collection of freestyles and unreleased tracks, which
126
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.440
is dropping on October twenty nine,
and I am so excited for that.
127
00:08:43.350 --> 00:08:50.470
If you this week season two of
stream state, we're introducing a new segment
128
00:08:50.870 --> 00:08:54.070
where I can tell you about the
biggest album release of the week. This
129
00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:58.100
week, the seventy four year old
multimillion selling artist Alton John released his thirty
130
00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:03.419
second studio album called the lockdown sessions, which features a roll call of huge
131
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:09.179
names like Miley Cyrus, juelieper LIL
NAS X, Steve Nick's gorillas, per
132
00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:11.850
now, young thug and Nicki Minaj, to name a few. He previously
133
00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:16.009
released eight of the sixteen tracks and
at the beginning of September he announced that
134
00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:20.330
they would be featured on his upcoming
album, dropping on October twenty two,
135
00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:22.690
which is a project he was working
on since the start of the pandemic in
136
00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:26.240
March two thousand and twenty after his
tour was put on pause. He said
137
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.320
the last thing I expected to do
during lockdown was make an album, but
138
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.960
as the pandemic went on, one
of projects kept cropping up. All of
139
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.830
the tracks I worked on were really
interesting and diverse, stuff that was completely
140
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:41.909
different to anything I'm known for,
stuff that took me out of my comfort
141
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:46.549
zone into a completely new territory,
and I realized there was something weirdly familiar
142
00:09:46.549 --> 00:09:48.629
about working like this. At the
start of my career in the late S,
143
00:09:50.149 --> 00:09:52.659
I worked as a session musician,
working with different artist dry in lockdown
144
00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:56.940
remind me of that. I had
come full circle. I was a session
145
00:09:56.980 --> 00:10:00.580
musician again, and it was still
a blast. The lead single of the
146
00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.700
album is cold heart, which is
a mashup of his songs rocket man,
147
00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:07.809
sacrifice and kiss the bride, and
it's a collaboration with jewelieper and remixed by
148
00:10:07.889 --> 00:10:20.169
the Australian dance pop triopen now cool. The song debut at number eighty one
149
00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:26.200
on the billboard hot one hundred,
becoming alton sixty eight chart entry. It's
150
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.159
currently sitting at forty eight million views
on youtube and has a hundred and sixty
151
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.399
nine million streams on spotify after being
released on the thirteen of August this year.
152
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.190
Alton has always had his finger on
the pulse of modern pop music.
153
00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:41.830
He apparently used to send his assistant
out every Tuesday to buy all the new
154
00:10:41.870 --> 00:10:45.190
releases so he could keep up to
date with new popular artist and he's always
155
00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:50.179
enthusiastically supporting and sharing his admiration for
younger musicians. I think even though Alton
156
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:52.820
could have been using lockdown as an
excuse to take a bit of a break
157
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:56.659
and enjoy living on the massive royalties
have coming in from his huge back catalog
158
00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:03.139
of songs, it's absolutely commendable that
he continues producing work, evolving his music
159
00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:07.009
and contributing to the popular sounds of
today, proving to us that no age
160
00:11:07.009 --> 00:11:18.009
or pandemic can put a stop to
someone's passion. Let's danced law see a
161
00:11:18.169 --> 00:11:24.559
DABS and next, my song of
the week is a well known classic,
162
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.639
and it only relates to this episode
because Elton John Did a cover of it
163
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.799
five years after it was released.
Tear drops is a song and it was
164
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.190
released in nineteen eighty eight by womack
and womack on their fourth studio album called
165
00:11:35.429 --> 00:11:39.830
conscience. Womack and womack are an
American Jeo made up of Linda and her
166
00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:45.269
husband, Cecil Womack. The song
tear drops is a Funky Dance Bang up
167
00:11:45.309 --> 00:11:48.940
with sad lyrics that contradict the uplifting
sound with a joy singing about a relationship
168
00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:54.419
that regrettably broke down because someone wasn't
faithful and fully aligned with this episodes unintentional
169
00:11:54.500 --> 00:12:00.419
theme of relationships, Linda and Cecil
Womack had a pretty complicated relationship story.
170
00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:05.529
Linda was the daughter of the legendary
soul singer Sam Cook, who knew Cecil
171
00:12:05.529 --> 00:12:09.889
Womack from his days as part of
the group the Valentinos. After Sam Cook
172
00:12:09.009 --> 00:12:13.450
was tragically shot by Motel manager in
La in one thousand nine hundred and sixty
173
00:12:13.490 --> 00:12:16.159
four, Cecil met Sam's daughter Linda
when she was eight years old and he
174
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.639
was thirteen, and they became close
friends. However, Cecil's brother Bobby Married
175
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.679
Sam Cook's widow Barbara and became Linda's
stepfather, and Cecil married Mary Wells,
176
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:39.549
who's the singer behind the song my
guy, Cecil and Mary had three kids
177
00:12:39.549 --> 00:12:41.429
together, then divorced in one thousand
nine hundred and seventy seven, and shortly
178
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:46.299
after Linda and Cecil got married,
which are the Joey Womack and womack.
179
00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:50.500
So Linda's stepfather was her brother in
law and her husband's brother was also her
180
00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:54.980
stepfather. Nevertheless, though, an
extremely talented family of musicians, from the
181
00:12:56.059 --> 00:13:00.009
incredible Sam Cook all the way to
the iconic s Joe Womack and womack,
182
00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:03.289
who you'll still hear being played at
clubs and parties today. And tear drops
183
00:13:03.370 --> 00:13:07.450
is the perfect theme song to warmer
weather, cold beer and the freedom to
184
00:13:07.490 --> 00:13:11.289
dance indoors and hang out with friends. That is all for stream state this
