"Adele Embraces Identity: Reflecting on Privilege and Autonomy in Music Career
In a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, global sensation Adele candidly acknowledged the impact of her identity on her illustrious music career. The Grammy-winning artist spoke openly about being a 'white woman in music' and the inherent advantages it brought to her journey.
While recognizing her privilege, Adele shared valuable advice for aspiring young women in the industry. "More than anything, it's just being yourself," she emphasized, attributing part of her success to the authenticity she brought to her craft.
The "Hello" singer delved into the unique level of control she has maintained over her career. Asserting her position, Adele revealed, "I think people are quite scared of me, and they've been like that since I was 18." Unapologetically, she added, "I don't know what it is; I think there's no room for negotiations when it comes to what I want to do and how I want to do it. And it's always been like that."
Adele's transparency extends beyond her personal narrative. She has previously acknowledged the profound influence of Black artists on her music, citing Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, and Etta James as inspirations. Reflecting on James, she expressed, "She was the first time a voice made me stop what I was doing and sit down and listen. It took over my mind and body."
In a notable gesture of allyship, Adele dedicated a 2017 Grammy win for Album of the Year to Beyoncé, recognizing the empowering impact of her "Lemonade" album on her Black friends. In a 2021 interview with Vogue, she reiterated, "For my friends who are women of color, it ['Lemonade'] was such a huge acknowledgment for them, of the sort of undermined grief that they go through."
Adele's journey exemplifies a nuanced intersection of privilege, authenticity, and acknowledgment of diverse influences in the music industry. As she continues to make waves, her story prompts reflection on the complexities of identity and success in the ever-evolving landscape of music."
