It seems like it has been years since Adele has come out with anything new; in 2011, Adele released her last album, “21,” which was extremely popular. Four years later, it seemed as if Adele had fallen off the face of the Earth. But like all great artists should do, she shocked us all with a new single titled “Hello” earlier this month.

“Hello” is one of the tracks on Adele’s album which is to be released on Nov. 20. This album, similar to the last, is titled “25”.

“I was a little surprised by the release of the song because it has been a while since her last album,” said Samiyya Ahmed, junior.”I think she has a great voice. She has songs that are not as typical as other songs on the radio which makes her pretty unique.”

Students at York are eager to hear the remainder of the songs on the new album. All in all, students believe that “Hello” was worth the wait.

“I think that it’s worth the wait,” said junior, Morgan Taylor. “I have only heard the song once and it was stuck in my head for the rest of the day.”

Most fans assume that the reasoning behind Adele’s lack of music over the past few years was due to the birth of her son Angelo and her vocal cord injuries. Angelo was born in 2012, and since then, has been a significant part of Adele’s life. Adele’s vocal cord injuries could have also hindered her ability to release new music.

It seems as if Adele could leave the music scene for ten years, but with her incredible talent, she could come back at anytime and release groundbreaking albums and songs.

“I am so excited to hear the whole album, seeing as ‘21’ has been topping the charts ever since it first came out,” said Taylor.
