Speculations about Adele working on her fourth studio album "30" began in 2018, but were later confirmed on May 5th 2019. Turning 31, the Grammy singer shared several black and white pictures of herself on Instagram stating:

"30 will be a drum n bass record to spite you."

On February 2020 at a friend's wedding, she announced that the album was going to be released by September 2020 but unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the release had been delayed. From that moment, fans all over the world have been waiting for the "Someone Like You" singer to share any news regarding her fourth album.

After almost four years of not appearing on television, Adele hosted SNL on October 24th 2020 with musical guest H.E.R. The official turning, however, was October 1st.

Multiple billboards all over the world had the number "30" on major monuments such as The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, The Empire State Building and The Buckingham Palace. Three days later, Adele changed all her profile icons from her social media with a navy blue photo.

And on October 5th 2021, Adele has finally shared a clip from the new single "Easy On Me" coming out October 15th. In the black and white clip, Adele loads a cassette into a car tape deck and drives as music sheets come out of the window. A piano can be heard in the background, signaling the beginning of the song that fans will be able to hear very soon.

"30" follows number-titled albums "19" (2008), "21" (2011) and "25" (2015). But Adele is not the only one ready with new music. Ed Sheeran is about to drop his album "=" on October 29 and Taylor Swift recently announced that "Red (Taylor's Version)" will be released on November 12th instead of November 19th.

It has been years of long wait, but it's now official. Adele is finally back.
