First, fans got [a taste of new music](http://time.com/4077661/adele-new-song-x-factor/) over the weekend. Then on Wednesday, the singer confirmed the album’s title—_25_, named for the age she was when she wrote it—in a note to fans that called the album a [“make-up record”](http://time.com/4081003/adele-new-album-make-up-record/) instead of a break-up record. Now, she announced [via Instagram](https://instagram.com/p/9JG27VgfMm/) that the album is coming on Nov. 20\. And either Adele’s selfie game puts everyone to shame, or the elegant black-and-white photo accompanying the post just might be the album cover. **Read next:** [_5 Things to Know About Adele’s New Album_](http://time.com/4081461/adele-new-album-25/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4083224/adele-25-new-album-release-date/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4083224/adele-25-new-album-release-date/"},"headline":"Adele Just Shared the Release Date for New Album 25","datePublished":"2015-10-22T14:48:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:00:29.179Z","description":"Mark your calendars for Nov. 20","url":"https://time.com/4083224/adele-25-new-album-release-date/","keywords":["Music","Adele"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4083224/adele-25-new-album-release-date/","name":"Adele Just Shared the Release Date for New Album 25"}}]}] ```
