Is this a clear sign that Adele is really back with new material?
It's been three years since the Grammy-winning artist had released her own work, with the last one being the theme for a James Bond movie, "Skyfall."
And now, a 30-second advertisement shown during The X Factor appeared to tease a part of a new Adele song, with the clip showing only a black background and lyrics to the snippet in white.
"The distinctly Adele-like voice was heard singing: Hello/It's me/I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet/To go over everything," MailOnline noted.
"They say that time's supposed to heal ya/But I ain't done much healing..." the clip went on, ending without revealing a title or date.
This teaser came in the wake of rumors saying that the British singer may be releasing a new album, allegedly titled "25," next month. However, no confirmation about this speculation has been made, although some artists have spoken about Adele making new material for an album.
"In August it was reported that she had been working on new music with the likes of OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, who produced and co-wrote Rumour Has It on 21, Gnarls Barkley's Brian Burton and other music luminaries," the British publication said. "There was hope that Adele would drop a third album last year after she dangled the title of 25 in front of fans, but that never materialised."
After the teaser was aired Sunday, Tedder tweeted, "Adele :)" This appeared to confirm that the snippet was indeed that of the "Rolling in the Deep" singer.
As expected, fans turned to social media to express their excitement over this new development.
"How do you release a 28s snippet? With such deep words. I'm not ready for the chest pains Adele is gonna give me," one tweeted, as noted by MailOnline.
"The star's last album, titled 21, came out in January 2011," the BBC recalled. "It went on to sell 4.6 million copies in the UK and 11 million in the US."
Will her new record's revenues surpass that of its predecessor? That remains to be seen, although Ed Sheeran may have given us a clue when he said, "Everyone I know who've worked on it is just like, 'Dude... that record!' Apparently, it's really good."
However, Blur frontman Damon Albarn opined that the work done with Danger Mouse seemed to be "very middle of the road," as noted by The Guardian. He also revealed that he had contributed 5 songs for the album but isn't sure if she will use any of them.
