Adele makes music comeback with new single 'Easy On Me'
British songstress Adele made her highly-anticipated music comeback on Friday
British songstress Adele made her highly-anticipated music comeback on Friday, releasing her first new record since her 2015 Grammy award-winning album '25'.
The 33-year-old, known for her ballads about break-ups and regrets, teased new single 'Easy On Me' last week with a short video clip. The song is the first to be released from her upcoming fourth album '30', out in November.
The music video, which starts with Adele leaving a house with 'For Sale' and 'Sold' signs on it, is a showcase for the emotional power ballad about recovering and learning lessons after disappointment in love. Adele sings as she drives, her memories and song sheets swirling around her, and the video breaks into warm colour after beginning in black-and-white.
On Wednesday, Adele told fans she was 'finally' ready to release '30', which she described as her "ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life".
"I was certainly nowhere near where I'd hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago," she said in a statement posted on Twitter.
In interviews with fashion magazines Vogue and British Vogue, Adele, who has named her albums after milestone ages in her life, said she had written '30' to explain her divorce to her young son, Angelo. Adele split from charity executive Simon Konecki in 2019.
Known for hits like 'Someone Like You' and 'Hello', Adele is one of the most successful singer-songwriters of all time, storming charts around the world and winning 15 Grammys as well as an Oscar for James Bond movie theme song 'Skyfall'.
Earlier this month, fans had speculated new music from Adele was imminent after mysterious '30' signs appeared on buildings around the world.
