On Friday, November 19, 2021, Adele's fourth studio album, 30, was released.

The announcement of her comeback came at the beginning of October, when the singer shared a long message to her Instagram account about the making of the album.

"I was certainly nowhere near where I'd hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago," she wrote.

Adele continued: "I've learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way. I've shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones.

"Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I've finally found my feeling again. I'd go as far as to say that I've never felt more peaceful in my life."

The album is one hour in length, and features 12 brand new songs. She released the first single, Easy On Me, on October 15.

A well-respected artist, Adele was able to convince Spotify to remove the shuffle feature for albums, noting that musicians spend time perfecting the order in which they want their songs to be heard and stories to be told.

“Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended," she said.

In a tweet, Spotify told Adele: “Anything for you.”

The album covers her life after her divorce from Simon Konecki, the father of her child, Angelo.

“I want to thank you for being so patient with me,” Quentin told Ashleigh. “I am extremely proud of you. And, I mean, every day you blow my mind.

“There's absolutely nothing that you cannot do. And I just know that you're going to be an amazing mother to our kids one day."
