Everything You Need to Know About Adele’s Upcoming Album

Adele is back and better than ever. Six years after her last studio album ‘25’, the artist finally returns with a selection of new music that’s sure to break our hearts once again — featuring her newest single ‘Easy On Me’ set to drop on 15 October. 

Fans across the world first took notice of Adele’s upcoming era when she changed the layouts of her social media accounts and website. Projections of the number 30 — the title of Adele’s next album — were also plastered around significant landmarks and monuments around the world, such as the Empire State Building, the Louvre Museum, and the Colosseum to tease her imminent era. 

Over the weekend, Adele conducted an Instagram live —  a rare occurrence for the private artist —  to engage with fans. Her famous friends Troye Sivan and Alicia Keys even turned up for the session, teasing the technologically-confused singer about needing help operating the live. 

Sat comfortably in her living room with her dogs barking away in the background, Adele answered quickfire questions about her life and music and played a short snippet of ‘Easy On Me’ during the session. When asked about the inspiration for '30', the singer replied without hesitation: “Divorce, babe. Divorce.”

Although, we have to say that our favourite part of it all was when Adele incredulously fired back at a fan for questioning her loyalties to her idol, Beyoncé: “Yes, I’m excited for Beyonce’s next album. Are you mad?"

Adele also took to British Vogue last week to share more details about ‘30’. “I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection, and then sort of self-redemption. But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time,” says the singer. It also wouldn’t be a proper Adele record without her tasteful and heart-wrenching lyrics, which fans can expect to hear more of in this album.
