During the week, ‘Rolling in the deep’ singer and Grammy award winner Adele announced her presence after her 5-year silence when she posted a lengthy note to fans on her Twitter and Facebook accounts, confirming that a new album would arrive soon.
In an interview she granted U.S magazine, Entertainment Weekly, the singer who made reference to her last album, ’21,’ which was a hit in 2011, said: “My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one, I’d call it a make-up record. I’m making up with myself.”
In the note she posted on her social media pages, Adele apologised for the long delay between albums, and shared some lessons on life.
Part of the note read: “I haven’t got time to hold on to the crumbs of my past like I used to. What’s done is done. Turning 25 was a turning point for me, slap bang in the middle of my 20s. Teetering on the edge of being an old adolescent and a fully-fledged adult, I made the decision to go into becoming who I’m going to be forever without a removal van full of my old junk.”
During the U.K edition of X-factor, a short, cryptic teaser to promote the new album was shown. Adele was heard singing in the clip “Hello, it’s me, I was wondering / if after all these years / you’d like to meet / To go over everything / They say that time’s supposed to heal ya / But I ain’t done much healing.”
The album is expected to be called ‘25,’ and previous reports indicated that it should arrive sometime in November.
“’25’ is about getting to know who I’ve become without realising,” Adele wrote of her new record. “And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”
The new song has received over 100 million hits on YouTube some days after it was released.
