Adele's comeback song “Hello” releases

Adele is back with her first single in three years. “Hello”, a soaring new ballad that offers the first taste of the British singer's highly anticipated third album “25”.

The chorus features Adele's signature soaring vocals as she sings, “Hello from the other side / I must have called a thousand times / To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done.” Accompanied by a piano and drums for most of the track (which was produced by Greg Kurstin and recorded in Los Angeles), the song's last act is filled out with orchestral bells and big, ambient synths.

Adele has been in something of a career hibernation since the birth of her first child in 2012. “Hello” is the Grammy winner's first release since her 2012 recording “Skyfall” from the James Bond film of the same name reached No. 8 in the US and No. 2 in the UK. 

That wait will officially come to an end November 20 when Adele's album “25” arrives. Adele announced the big news on Wednesday, days after publishing a Twitter letter in which she told her fans, “I'm sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.” 

The video for “Hello” was directed by Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan.
