The biggest album release of 2015 is now set in stone. Adele’s wildly anticipated 25 will be available globally on Friday, Nov. 20, Columbia confirmed in a press release that went out at 11am EDT this morning.
"Hello," the lead single from the new album—a snippet of which appeared in a TV spot that aired Sunday night during The X Factor in the U.K.—will be available to buy and stream drops tomorrow (10/23) at 2:30am EDT (7:30am U.K. time). The cinematic video for "Hello," filmed in the countryside surrounding Montreal and directed by the celebrated young Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan (Mommy, Tom at the Farm), will also debut tomorrow.
Target has announced that an exclusive deluxe edition of the album with three extra songs becomes available for pre-order tomorrow (10/23); more details on that here.
An extremely understated social-media component kicked off this morning on Instagram, and it's anticipated that fan activity will reach an Internet-breaking fever pitch very soon. Sources say a pre-order is set to begin shortly.
