Sir David Attenborough Narrates Adele’s ‘Hello’ Film Clip For The BBC; Makes It Even More Dramatic
"Battling strong winds and the weight of expectations, she is convinced that now is the time to strike."
Only one single into her upcoming album and it already feels like you can’t go anywhere without Adele popping up and saying hi. Within a week, her clip for ‘Hello’ was being viewed on YouTube over a million times an hour; it broke the Vevo record for most plays in a day, and became the first song ever to sell at least a million downloads in a week in the US.
The marketing feat becomes all the more impressive when you consider that it came out within days of the music videos for Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ and Justin Bieber’s ‘Sorry’.
But this is how the world is now: once the UK pop star Adele is ready for a comeback, you must respond to her call. And, as David Attenborough narrated overnight on the BBC, “she is convinced that now is the time to strike.”
Attenborough was in the studio to promote his new BBC series The Hunt, which looks at how predators catch their prey in the wild.
“We are about to witness one of the great phenomenon of the natural world,” Attenborough says. “It is important for such a delicate and finely tuned animal that the lighting and the setting is just right. And now, it is.
“The lesser spotted Adele is about to be everywhere again.”
