Is Adele finally dropping her new album?

Adele, who enjoys a massive fan following across the world, has spent considerable time in shedding kilos and focusing on her mental health in the last few years. Speaking of her new full-length project, the British hitmaker has not come forward to officially talk about her fourth album. However, she has time and again dropped hints that she was working on a new project but an official release date is yet to be finalized.

While hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ (SNL) for the very first time in October 2020, Adele delivered a monologue that had led to a discussion over her impending album. The Grammy-winning crooner had said, “I know that that there has been a lot of chatter about me just being the host. I have seen all of it. Why isn't she the musical guest and stuff like that? There are a couple of reasons. My album is not finished. I also am too scared to do both.” She added, “I would rather just put on some wigs – and this is all mine by the way (referring to her hair) – have a glass of wine or six and just see what happens.” She further said, “I know I look really, really different since you last saw me. But actually, because of all the Covid restrictions and the travel bans, I had to travel light and I could only bring half of me. And this is the half I chose.” 

The singer concluded her monologue by thanking the frontline workers in the audience, “They say that once you been to New York you keep a little piece of it in your heart forever, so I give it up to you and give it up to your service as well.”

‘Adele is coming. This is not a drill’

Social media users lost their calm as soon as the photos of the mysterious billboards popped up on Twitter over the weekend. “WHAT!!!!!! #Adele30 it’s Fake. I swear this is Adele Management Team messing with us now!!”, claimed one user as another pitched in and said, “What if someone else is posting the 30 billboards and it’s not Adele’s come back, it’s just some hardworking fan who wants another album? Joke of the year with that one!”
 
The next one added, “If these 30s not Adele related, imma b highly pissed off Slightly smiling face #Adele30” Meanwhile, another user asserted, “ADELE IS COMING!!! This is not a drill.” One person shared, “Adele is about to shut it all down” and another on similar lines stated, “Coming to end the music industry.” One fan added, “She’s dominating the world in every country that is night time.” While another person concluded, “Don’t mean to make this into taylor vs adele thing but taylor bumping up release of red by a week just right before adele 30 advertisement is a bit fishy and of course people cant help but to correlate them.”
