Adele is back and her new album, 30, is already a fan favorite. The album marks the powerhouse vocalist’s first record in six years. The fourth studio album from the England-born singer features 12 tracks. The first single from the album, “Easy on Me,” chronicles her feelings of going through the divorce from her ex-husband Simon Konecki. “Easy on Me” is nearing 6 million streams on Spotify. The album, of course, features deep ballads that Adele is known for to this point.
One of the songs on the album proving to be a favorite is “I Drink Wine.” As it turns out, the song was actually 15 minutes long. At the behest of the record label, Adele edited it, largely. “[The label] was like, ‘Listen, everyone loves you, but no one’s playing a 15-minute song on radio,’” she told Rolling Stone in a recent cover story interview. The 15-minute long version of the song still exists. It’s unclear if she plans to release it at some point.

Unlike her three previous albums, Adele says this album is particularly special and the most personal to date. “It’s sensitive for me, this record, just in how much I love it,” Adele told Vogue. “I always say that 21 doesn’t belong to me anymore. Everyone else took it into their hearts so much. I’m not letting go of this one. This is my album. I want to share myself with everyone, but I don’t think I’ll ever let this one go.”
Fans are definitely feeling it. The album has been trending across social media platforms since it dropped on Friday, Nov. 19.
