We don’t know about you, but we’re emotionally drained thanks to Adele completely ruining our Friday vibe by dropping the totes emosh video for her new single ‘Hello’(above) upon us before we’d even had our first coffee.
And we’re not the only ones judging by the amount of tears shed over keyboards around the globe as fans tweeted their adoration for the new song and clip.
There were a LOT of people struggling to cope with just how emotional they were feeling for a Friday morning…
There were tears. Many tears...
But in between the tears, some couldn’t help but notice that, despite having millions in the bank, Adele still has a crappy old phone...
And is lousy at making tea...
While others noted the seriously good face she’s giving in the video (well she did describe ‘25’ as her ‘make-up album’)…
And of course, there was the inevitable, but nonetheless enjoyable...
Welcome back Adele, oh how we've missed you.
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)
When is it released?(02 of04)
Open Image ModalAdele’s third album has a release date set for 20 November 2015. Just in time for Christmas. (credit:i-D)
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’. Sour grape anyone? (credit:Drew Gurian/Invision/AP)
