In addition to the release of her first song in five years, "Easy On Me," which is available today via Columbia Records along with a music video, Adele is also teasing her fans with a new music video.
Adele debuted the piano ballad on Thursday evening (Oct. 14), accompanied by a black-and-white video in which she drives away from an empty house with a "Sold" sign in the front yard. The video concludes with her belting out the song in a room filled with tangled sheet music, which is, of course, in full Technicolor at the end of the short.
Adele shared a snippet of the song during an Instagram Live session a week before it was released, in which she can be heard singing, "There ain't no gold in this river/ That I've been washing my hands in forever/ And there is hope in these waters/ But I can't bring myself to swim when I'm drowning in this silence/ Baby, let me in."
Ahead of Adele's highly anticipated fourth studio album 30, which is set to be released on November 19, the song "Easy On Me" has been released as the first single.
