Adele Reveals Song List for New Album
Adele is finally releasing her highly anticipated album, "25", on November 20, but don't worry, its first single and music video will come much earlier --- "Hello" is due for release on Friday. The video was said to have been shot in the countryside surrounding Montreal and is directed by the celebrated young Canadian director Xavier Dolan," as explained by a release, noted USA Today.
People reported that Adele's label announced the record on Thursday, which included the album art: a sepia close-up which looks very similar to her previous albums, called "19" and "21".Her own announcement was made via Instagram, where she tweeted the cover art.
The track list has also been released, and as People Magazine noted, they are as follows:
1. "Hello"
2. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)"
3. "I Miss You"
4. "When We Were Young"
5. "Remedy"
6. "Water Under The Bridge"
7. "River Lea"
8. "Love In The Dark"
9. "Million Years Ago"
10. "All I Ask"
11. "Sweetest Devotion"
Target's exclusive edition will feature three new bonus tracks as well: "Can't Let Go", "Lay Me Down" and "Why Do You Love Me", which will be available for pre-order beginning Friday.
"25" marks the first new music from Adele since 2012's Bond soundtrack, "Skyfall" and this will be her first full-length album in nearly five years, considering that her second one, "21" came out in early 2011.
The soulful singer has been hinting of new music for over a year. In July 2015, just before she turned 26, Adele clued her fans in on the title of her next album, tweeting, "Bye bye 25 ... See you again later in the year."
There has been some delay, though, which she addressed via an open letter online. "Turning 25 was a turning point for me, slap bang in the middle of my twenties. 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," she shared. "I miss everything about my past, the good and the bad, but only because it won't come back," she added.
But most of all, Adele apologized to her fans about the delay, telling them, "I'm sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened." Sure enough, the 10-time Grammy winner has been busy lately, with the birth of her son, Angelo, who she had in 2012 with her partner, Simon Konecki.
