Grammy award-winning singer Adele is set to release a new song in the coming months. She whipped her fans into a frenzy after apparently teasing a snippet of her new song with a mysterious 30-second advert during a recent broadcast of TV programme The X Factor.
It would be Adele’s first new material since the birth of her son Angelo in 2012 and comes almost five years on from the release of her last album, 21. She has not released her own music since October 2012 when she made a comeback with James Bond theme tune Skyfall, which won her an Academy Award.
Viewers took to Twitter to express their excitement after hearing a snippet of the song accompanied by lyrics on a black screen.
The distinctly Adele-like voice was heard singing: Hello/It’s me/I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet/To go over everything. They say that time’s supposed to heal ya/But I ain’t done much healing…’
Fans immediately began reacting, with one tweeting: ‘The 20 second of Adele’s new song already has me in tears.’
Another added: ‘How do you release a 28s snippet? With such deep words. I’m not ready for the chest pains Adele is gonna give me.’
It has widely been rumoured that Adele’s new album is due out next month but no official announcement has been made.
In August it was reported that she had been working on new music with the likes of OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who produced and co-wrote the song Rumour Has It on 21, Gnarls Barkley’s Brian Burton and other music luminaries.
There was hope that Adele would drop a third album last year after she dangled the title of 25 in front of fans, but that never materialised.
In 2013, Adele won an Academy Award, a Grammy and a Golden Globe for her song Skyfall.
Her last album, 21, sold 4.6million copies in the UK and 11 million in the US.
