Adele Releases Comeback Single ‘Easy on Me’ From New Album ‘30’ After 6 Long Years

Adele has revealed that her fourth album, titled "30", will be released on Nov 19, 2021, almost six years since she released her last record. The British songstress dropped a new single and video, “Easy on Me,” from the upcoming album. The music video starts off in black-and-white and is in the same location the 33-year-old singer featured in her video for the 2015 hit single “Hello,” reports Deadline. The song marks the return of the pop superstar after a 6-year-long hiatus where she has been through a separation as well as a physical transformation. Adele and Simon Konecki finalized their divorce in March, nearly two years after they first split, reports PEOPLE.

In the piano-backed, emotional number, Adele sings, "Go easy on me, baby / I was still a child / Didn't get the chance to / Feel the world around me." During an Instagram Live recently, the singer admitted that the album is about, “Divorce, babe, divorce.” She also described the album as her “ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life.”

The singer had been working on her 4th album three years ago but life took a different route. "I was certainly nowhere near where I'd hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago," she wrote on social media. "Quite the opposite actually. I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly – willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!"

The musician described the album as a close friend adding that "When I was writing it, it was my friend who came over with a bottle of wine and a takeaway to cheer me up. My wise friend who always gives the best advice," she wrote. "Not to forget the one who's wild and says 'It's your Saturn return babes f— it, you only live once.' The friend who'd stay up all night and just hold my hand while I'd sob relentlessly not knowing why. The get up and go friend who would pick me up and take me somewhere I said I didn't want to go but just wanted to get me out the house for some vitamin D. That friend who snuck in and left a magazine with a face mask and some bath salts to make me feel loved while inadvertently reminding me not only what month it actually was but that I should probably exercise some self-care! I've painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it," she wrote. "Home is where the heart is x."
