The wait is finally over! Adele’s new video for her comeback single ‘Hello’ has arrived.
The song got its first play on Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 Breakfast show on Friday morning, and the video for the single appeared online, via Vevo, just minutes later.
The 27-year-old singer filmed the gorgeous black and white clip in the countryside around Montreal earlier this year.
Earlier this week, Adele described her new album '25' – the follow up to the 30 million-selling '21' – as a "make up record".
In an open letter to her fans, which she shared on Twitter and Facebook, the ‘Someone Like You’ singer describes what inspired her to write her third album.
“My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record,” she explains.
“I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did or never did.
"But I haven't got time to hold onto the crumbs of my past like I used to. What's done is done."

Adele's new album '25': What we know so far
What is the new album called?(01 of04)
Open Image ModalIn the least surprising music news of the year, the singer confirmed her third album will be called ‘25’, which follows the tradition of her first two albums being named after the age Adele was when she wrote and recorded them. (credit:XL Recordings)

What can we expect?(03 of04)
Open Image ModalIf ‘19’ and ‘21’ were break-up records, this is (in her words) Adele’s ‘make-up’ album. She’s in a very different place since she released the 30 million-selling ‘21’ in 2011. Four years on and she’s given birth to her son Angelo and hibernated to spend plenty of QT with him and her partner (and Angelo’s dad), Simon Konecki. So there’s been no heartbreak (as far as we know) but plenty of growing up, as Adele so beautifully put in her open letter to fans, which she shared on social media on 21 October...
Has anyone heard the entire album yet?(04 of04)
Open Image ModalWell Adele most certainly has. And a select few senior record company peeps, but that’s pretty much it. No one wants to risk what is going to be the biggest album of the next few years leaking, so security around this release is tighter than Amanda Holden’s forehead. Even Adele’s famous mates haven’t heard it, although Ed Sheeran recently claimed he knew friends who had and they were ‘really complimentary’. The same can’t be said for Damon Albarn. The Blur frontman worked on five tracks for the album at Adele’s request, none of which have reportedly made the final cut. He later described what he had heard as ‘very middle of the road’.
