Rumors have been circling for a while now about Adele being close to ready to release her follow-up to 2011’s wildly successful 21. Now the singer has confirmed herself that the album will be called 25 and will be available in November, among other details. “My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record,” the singer wrote. “I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.” Read more about her collaborators, along with the artist’s full statement about her feelings on the album, via Stereogum.
