“My last record was a break up record and if I had to label this one, I would call it a make up record,” Adele said in an official statement. “I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.”

“Hello,” the debut single from “25,” will be available to buy and stream on Friday, along with the cinematic video for the song.

Moreover, the British singer also revealed the track list for the album, which tallies 11 songs.
