ADELE - HELLO #VIDEOPREMIERE

HELLO. It’s me… ADELE is back and you must be ready for this!

English best selling artist of the decade has started the promotion of her highly awaited third studio album “25“, which is scheduled to be released on November 20th via XL Recordings.

The first single is the track “Hello” which impacted global radio on Friday October 23rd. The same day it was released into digital retailers with the pre-order of the album, and the official music video directed by Xavier Dolan was also premiered through Vevo.

The video, starring American actor and producer Tristan Wilds who plays ADELE’s love interest, shows the singer returning to an old house and making several phone calls throughout the video creating an emotionally painful and cold atmosphere.

A first preview of the track was premiered exclusively during The X Factor on Sunday October 18th. The intro said:

Hello, It’s me

I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet

to go over everything

They say time’s supposed to heal ya, But I ain’t done much healing

…

ADELE is back better than ever with as you can expected pure emotion and feeling with a harrowing but less depressing production where, once again, the singer shows all her vocal potential in this amazing new pop anthem co-penned with Greg Kurstin.

Welcome back. Goodbye.

ADELE 25 #NEWALBUM iTunes Pre Order

The most famous English singer and the real queen of sales ADELE has finally impacted the music world again with her more than anticipated and awaited new album “25“, expected to be released on November 20th via XL and Columbia Records.

After an incredible time with amazing numbers and indisputable successes, she has a difficult role: get beyond, or stay successful! Remember, the success of her second studio album entitled “21” earned numerous mentions in the Guinness World Records.

She was the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK.
With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’, she became the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top-five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since The Beatles in 1964.
‘Set Fire to the Rain’, became her third number one single in the US, Adele became the first artist in history to lead the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Billboard Hot 100 number-ones.
Adele was the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist, and the first female artist to have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.
’21’ was the longest running number one album by a female solo artist on the UK and US Albums Chart.
In 2011 and 2012, Billboard named Adele Artist of the Year.
In 2012, Adele was listed at number five on VH1’s 100 Greatest Women in Music, and the American magazine Time named Adele one of the most influential people in the world.
In 2013, she received an Academy Award as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for her song ‘Skyfall’, written for Skyfall, the twenty-third James Bond film.
Adele’s 2011 set “21” has over sold 11.1 million copies (13.5m+ with TEA) in the U.S. thus far, and more than 30m worldwide

Rihanna has been in the public eye since 2005, but while most people think they know everything there is to know about her, the singer admits that her reputation and the reality of her life are two very different things. In addition to showing major skin in bikinis, partying it up with her friends, and releasing over-the-top music videos, the 27-year-old is actually pretty normal. In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Rihanna gets candid about everything from her rocky romance with Chris Brown to her opinions on casual sex to the Rachel Dolezal scandal.
