Adele, we’ve missed you. It’s been years, and boy, are we glad to have you back.
If you’ve been on the internet at all in the past week, you’ve probably seen something about Adele’s new single, “Hello.” There’s no surprise that it’s already all over the radio.
The video was released on Oct. 22 and hit 27.7 millions views in the first 24 hours it was up. That’s 1.15 millions views per hour. That’s 19,167 views per minute. This set a new record for Vevo, which is known as the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform. This the first music video Adele has released since 2011. The previous holder of this record was Taylor Swift, coming in at 20.1 million views in the first 24 hours of her release of “Bad Blood” in May.
Adele is the kind of artist that will make you miss an ex that you don’t even have. I mean really. Check it out.
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart
Anymore
Ouch, my heart.
This single is from Adele’s highly anticipated album, 25, which is due to come out on Nov. 20. This will be her first album since her 2011 album, 21.
According to Adele, “My last record was a breakup 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 it done.”
Adele, you have the voice of an angel. The world is counting down the days until Nov. 20.
