Tissues at the ready – Adele’s brand new single is out!
Feeling emotionally stable? Not for long! The queen of breakup songs has released her first single in five years and it's a good'un. Watch the video here.
If you weren’t doomscrolling Twitter at midnight last night you might have missed it, but everyone’s favourite Cockney songstress dropped the first song and accompanying video from her brand new album 30 – and the internet is going wild over it.

Nobody expected rainbows and butterflies – it is Adele, after all – but new single ‘Easy on Me’ is a particularly poignant listen considering the singer’s divorce from husband Simon Konecki in 2019. Unsurprisingly, Adele confirmed that the theme of the new album was, and I quote, ‘Divorce babe, divorce,’ in her first-ever Instagram live earlier this month (she also covered Peppa Pig and Walkers prawn cocktail crisps – go hunt out the video for 40 minutes of hilarity).
The video itself is also a total masterpiece (once again, it’s time to try and fail at her iconic winged liner look), shot in moody black and white by Xavier Dolan, who you’ll recognise from the Hello video. Apparently we’re not the only ones loving it, as the video has easily racked up 21 million views and counting in the last few hours!
Until the album finally lands on 19 November, we’ll just be playing this on repeat and sobbing into our vino. Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments…
