Did Adele Just Preview A New Song?

It's been four long years since Adele's last album, 21, debuted. It was arguably one of the greatest break-up albums of all time and definitively the top-selling album

of the year in both 2011 and 2012. Fans of the soulful British songstress have been eagerly awaiting new material ever since. But while her long-awaited third album is reportedly not slated to drop until November 20, the singer may have just given fans a sneak peek at her new material in the form of a short, mysterious clip that appeared during a commercial break from the U.K.'s The X-Factor.


Without warning, between advertisements for Dominos and Tic-Tacs on ITV in the U.K. on Sunday, the screen went black and viewers could hear that famous voice singing strongly as lyrics to a new mystery song displayed on screen.Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything. They say that time's supposed to heal ya. But I ain't done much healing..." she sang. And then, that was it: No album name, song name, release date or any other details followed — just a world full of fans ready and waiting for more. Including, it appears, the band OneRepublic, whose frontman, Ryan Tedder, is a frequent Adele collaborator. refinery29
