#Adele
o She has FINALLY confirmed the release date of her new album!
o As we speculated, the album will be called 30 and it will drop on November 19th.
o According to Adele, that’s almost exactly six years after her last one came out.
o It’s called 30 because she started working on the album three years ago, when she was 30 and her albums classically correlate to her age at the time of writing.
o So, what can we expect? She says a lot of “blistering home truths” gleaned from her decision to chuck herself “into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil.”
o She said the songs on the album are about the most turbulent period of her life.
o Her first single off the album called “Easy On Me” will premiere at 4pm this afternoon on Mix 94.1.
