“My last record was a break up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make up record. I’m making up with myself. making up for lost time. making up for everything I ever did and never did.”

After several years out of the limelight, UK songstress Adele is set to release 25, her much anticipated new album, which will be available globally on Friday 20th November. This will be the multi-platinum artist’s first new music since her Oscar winning single ‘Skyfall’ in 2012. Just to put it in perspective, Adele’s last album 21, released in 2011 went 15 x platinum in Australia, making it the biggest selling album this decade. The artist updated her instagram with the news this morning.

‘Hello,’ the debut single from 25, will be available to buy and stream at 6pm (EST) tonight (Friday 23rd October). The cinematic video for ‘Hello’ will also be revealed on Friday October 23rd. It was shot in the countryside surrounding Montreal and is directed by the celebrated young Canadian director Xavier Dolan (Mommy, Tom at the Farm).
