After nearly five years since the release of her last studio album, Adele confirms that her upcoming third album 25 would be released on November 20 along with the cover art.
Also she teased more details about her new single “Hello”, that is set to be played for the first time on BBC Radio 1 on Friday at 8am on Nick Grimshaw’s breakfast show.
The cover art of her new album features her starring directly to the camera in a black and white shot.
On Wednesday the singer explained through a letter to her fans, that she posted on Facebook the process behind her new material:
'When I was 7, I wanted to be 8. When I was 8, I wanted to be 12. When I turned 12 I just wanted to be 18. Then after that I stopped wanting to be older. Now I'm ticking 16-24 boxes just to see if I can blag it! I feel like I've spent my whole life so far wishing it away.'
'Always wishing I was older, wishing I was somewhere else, wishing I could remember and wishing I could forget too.
Wishing I hadn't ruined so many good things because I was scared or bored.'
'Wishing I wasn't so matter of fact all the time. Wishing I'd gotten to know my great grandmother more, and wishing I didn't know myself so well, because it means I always know what's going to happen. Wishing I hadn't cut my hair off, wishing I was 5ft 7in. Wishing I'd waited and wishing I'd hurried up as well.

She also explains on the letter that she is not interested in remember the past, saying:
'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.
'But I haven't got time to hold onto 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 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 continued: 'I miss everything about my past, the good and the bad, but only because it won't come back. When I was in it I wanted out! So typical. I'm on about being a teenager, sitting around and chatting s**t, not caring about the future because it didn't matter then like it does now.
