The Complete Guide to Adele's '25' Album

FUSE TV - The Complete Guide to Adele's '25' Album

Release Date: Friday, November 20

The Buildup: 

It feels like its taken forever to get to this point, huh? The world has been waiting for Adele's follow up to the diamond-certified 21. On May 5, 2014, the day before the British singer's 25th birthday, she posted a selfie with the caption "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x," leading many to believe the sought-after release would drop by the end of last year. That obviously wasn't the case...perhaps she was just letting us all know she was headed back in the studio?

The reason for her absence might've just been, you know, life. She told Rolling Stone the real reason she returned to music was for her son:

"I think actually the pregnancy was perfect timing in the end. It might've seemed like the most ridiculous time to have a baby, but I was starting to get a bit afraid of everything...When I had him, it made everything all right, and I trusted everything because the world had given me this miracle...I don't know if I would've come back had I not had my kid."

For now, we just know that this is her last album named after a certain age. And that she's super sorry for the delay between records. On Oct. 21 of this year, she wrote on Twitter:

"My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did. But I haven't got time to hold on to the crumbs of my past like I used to. What's done is done."
