Adele herself said she was nervous ahead of the release, telling Nick Grimshaw she would “belch”. “A couple of times, I thought I’d dried up, yeah”.

After teasing fans with a surprise 30-second clip of the track during X Factor, Adele has now premiered the video for her new single “Hello”.
However, since her last album, the “Someone Like You” singer released just one single- the Oscar wining, James Bond theme- “Skyfall” in 2012.
Check out the track list for 25 below and watch Adele reflect on her past above.
The singer sent fans into a frenzy when she posted about her album on her Instagram account earlier in the week.
Update (10/23 6:15 a.m.): Listen to the full interview below, in which Adele tells Lowe 25 will likely be the last time she names a record after her age, and discusses the possibility of touring. “I had to find another part of my life – I did pretty much write an album about being a mum, but that’s pretty boring for everyone who isn’t a mum (so) I scrapped that”.
With a striking piano chord supporting her powerful vocals, Adele looks directly at the camera and breaks through with her first line: “Hello, it’s me…” “I’m like, ‘Guys, get over it. It doesn’t matter.’ But the real explanation is that I never like filming modern phones or cars”. “Obviously, I took a bit of time off because I became a mum”.
And to keep the ball rolling, she followed the good news with an announcement that she would be releasing 25, a follow-up album to her 2011 hit, 21, this November.
The vocalist said that using the four-year rest, during which she gave birth to her first kid, she needed to try to return into songwriting.
