It has been four years since Adele burst onto the music scene with her soulful album 21 which became an instant smash-and now the fans who have been waiting for what seems like forever for her to bring new music have learned their wait is being significantly reduced, because she is officially dropping her new album in less than a month,

The singer announced that her new album, 25, would be released on Nov. 20 on her Instagram, and explained the meaning behind the album's title on her website.

 25 out November 20th

"My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did. But I haven't got time to hold on to the crumbs of my past like I used to. What's done is done. Turning 25 was a turning point for me..." she wrote. "...25 is about getting to know who I've become without realising. And I'm sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened." Her news was only made better for her fans when the news further broke that not only would the album drop next month, but her first single, Hello, would officially release tomorrow, along with a music video. Naturally, fans are freaking out on Twitter over the news. A LOT.
