Noel Gallagher, the former singer and lead guitarist for Britpop band Oasis, is known for his direct approach. In a recent interview with podcaster Matt Morgan, he revealed how he feels about Adele’s music.
In the conversation, Gallagher said Adele’s songs “suck” and compared the singer to pop singer Cilla Black, who died in 2015. He also finds her entire discography “quite insulting”.
The comment came during an appearance on a podcast hosted by Matt Morgan, when the musician was asked if he was a fan of Adele’s chart hits. The High Flying Birds singer didn’t mince his words.
“Fuck off, damn shit. Name me one?” he replied. “You’re fucking shitty. It’s bloody awful. That’s the damn Cilla Black. I find it and the whole thing offensive.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Noel Gallagher confirmed that he would be willing to work with the singer in the future and could envision writing songs for her once he retires from performing live. The British magazine reportedThe Mirror”.
“If I lose the love of touring, I could imagine just sitting at home and writing songs and sending them to my publishers,” he said. “I might do that in the future. I’ll say, ‘Get Adele to sing that. Don’t call until she does the lead voice’.”
It’s not the first time the Wonderwall singer has snubbed Adele. Seven years ago he said in an interview that he didn’t like her music and that she made “music for grandmothers”.
