Rolling in the Deep / Set Fire to the Rain / Right as Rain / Skyfall

I think she had a traumatic experience in water as a child.

No duets either unless they're waiting.

I like the cover tbh, it ties in well with the previous 2 albums

I knew it would be a simple image of her, as per the other 2.

But she looks like she's just seen Louis Walsh step out of the shower.

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

[Smithy]

Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

[Iceman]

I'm just reading that in her sarcastic voice lol

[MB.]

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancing on the dance floor or drinking by the bar?
Tonight we do it big, and shine like stars
And we don't give a **** 'cause that's just who we are

Adele has spoken about some of the issues she faced when making her third album 25.

The singer opened up about her fears that it would never be finished on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw this morning (October 23).

"I felt like this was never going to happen, and I was never going to finish this record," she revealed. "It was a long process and I wanted to give up. I thought I'd run out of ideas and lost my ability to write a song.

"My team around me are so amazing. They were very honest saying, 'It's not good enough'. It's important that people are like that."

Despite her initial doubts, Adele added that she is now "excited for people to hear the album", especially a favourite track of hers, 'When We Were Young'.

Whatever the success of the album though, don't expect the singer to be spending too much time in the spotlight.

"I find fame quite frightening and really toxic," she noted. "It's very charming and very persuasive, but also it doesn't last.

"Why do you want to get involved in something which you'll miss so much? And it always goes."

She did, however, admit that one thing has changed - her choice of supermarket: "I shop at Waitrose these days... I still love you Tesco!"

Adele has explained how she managed to keep the biggest comeback of the year a secret.

Talking on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw for the world premiere of 'Hello', the singer revealed that even the people who knew about it didn't have all the facts.


Adele's new album 25: Everything you need to know from release date to collaborations

"I kept giving people the wrong date, because I wanted it to be a secret," said Adele.

"We've been sitting on it for a little while, not forever as I only mastered the album a few weeks ago.

"There's been 5 people doing 300 peoples' jobs. Now it's done, we can hand it over."


Adele teased fans with a surprise 30 second clip of the track during Sunday night's X Factor, and thinks more people could benefit from a similarly low-key approach.

"I think everyone could have a moment if they didn't share everything all the time," she explained.

"The only reason people have reacted how they have is because I haven't done anything else [since 'Skyfall']. I've been doing other things, but I want to surprise people.

"I don't want to say something for the sake of it. I've had nothing to say, so why am I going to say


Grimshaw also jokingly raised the possibility of a 'Hello'-off with Lionel Ritchie, and it's fair to say Adele is keen.

"We've got to do something, me and Lionel. Lionel, I'm putting it out there. That'd be amazing."

Billboard and HDD are predicting 25 to break 1 million in first week sales. That will be some achievement if it does.

Adele's third album 25 is released on November 20 but you may not have to wait that long to hear her new songs.

The singer-songwriter will perform tracks from the record alongside songs from her first two albums on a one-hour Adele at the BBC special hosted by Graham Norton, which will be recorded on November 2.

Adele said: "I can't wait for the show. The BBC has been wonderful to me over the years and Graham and I get on great so it's going to be a laugh."

Norton added: "This is the music event of the year and I'm thrilled to be part of bringing it to BBC One.

"This opportunity to spend an hour with Adele, her music and her stories is a truly rare treat. If I wasn't hosting this special I'd be sat at home watching it!"
