Grammy-winning singer Adele, on Wednesday, announced her upcoming album, 30. The artist took to social media and shared a statement on how she came about her new album after a six-year hiatus. Adele shared when she started working on 30 three years ago, she is now nowhere where she was.
The Hello crooner posted which seems to be her album cover wrote, "I was certainly nowhere near where I'd hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago. Quite the opposite actually." She added, "I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly - willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!"
Adele continued, "I have learned a lot of blistering truths about myself along the way. I have shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones. Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I have finally found my feeling again. I'd go as far as to say that I have never felt more peaceful in my life."
The singer also mentioned a special friend. "That friend who, no matter what, checked in on me even though I'd stopped checking in with them because I'd become so consumed by my own grief," she wrote. The Someone Like You songstress signed off with, "Home is where the heart is x."
Last week, the British artist teased her first new music since her 2015 Grammy Award-winning album 25, with a video clip for the song Easy On Me.
The video shows the singer in a car, putting a tape into a cassette player, checking the rearview mirror, increasing the volume and then driving off in a vehicle carrying packed up belongings. Soft piano music plays in the background as sheets of music fly out of the window.
In an interview with Vogue, Adele shared details of her upcoming album. When asked what the 33-year-old heartbreak queen is delivering this time, she responded, “I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption. But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time.”
