## Transcript

[ SOUND ] Adele has dropped her first single in three years with the appropriate title Hello, along with a release date for her next album, 25. That record is coming November 20th. And in case you were worried Adele's vocal cord surgery from 2011 doesn't seem to be holding her back at all. Hello is filled with all the soaring vocals and brooding lyrics fans have come to expect from Adele. But with a different tone. [ MUSIC ] My last record was a break up record, and if I had to label this one, I'd call it a make- up record. I'm making up with myself, Adele explained on Facebook. Adele apologized to fans for the long wait and offered that explanation on how this album is a step forward from her last one.

Judging by the reaction on Twitter at least the first song from the album was worth the wait. But Adele's bar is already set pretty high. Her last album 21 spent 24 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, the most for any female artist. Not to mention all those Grammys.
