Is Adele’s new album finally here?

- By Jennifer Barretto Assistant Editor Features

Singer Adele has just updated all her social media accounts and fans are saying this is a sign — her massively anticipate­d album must be right around the corner.

What does social media have to do with anything, you might ask. Well, her accounts were updated with a mysterious dark teal picture that closely resembled the shade used on billboards that had popped up around the world earlier and which were emblazoned with the number 30. The ‘30’ was also projected onto famous landmarks such as the Louvre in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome and the Empire State Building in New York City. It was even projected onto a building in Dubai Festival City.

Of course, ‘30’ has been the rumoured title of the 15-time Grammy winner’s next album, following her previous records — 19, 21 and 25.

She has said that her album titles all reflected the age at which she worked on them. In a birthday post in 2019, Adele joked about her next album, referring to it as ‘30’.

Adele’s last album was 2015’s 25, which featured the hit track Hello .It topped the Billboard 200 chart for 10 weeks and won Grammys for album of the year and best pop vocal album, while her lead single won Grammys for record and song of the year and best pop solo performanc­e.
