Adele Shares New Song With Teaser and Social Media Is Freaking Out
Easy On Me
Adele announced the upcoming release of "Easy On Me" on social media Tuesday, sharing with fans just a few moments of the song in a telling trailer. Melancholy piano music fills the air as Adele puts a cassette tape into her car stereo and drives away with her belongings towed behind her.

Adele might have shocked the world with the teaser trailer, but fans had figured something was coming. Tweeting, "Hiya babes!" Monday in her grand return to the social media platform, the "Rolling in the Deep" artist also changed the profile picture and background on all her social media to a teal blue backdrop. Even the official Twitter account couldn't believe her return, which came amid a complete Instagram and Facebook outage.

'30'
Clues date back to this weekend, when billboards featuring the number '30' popped up around the world in the exact same shade of teal Adele posted on her social media. Adele's past album titles have all been labeled with the ages in which she worked on them, so the number raised eyebrows among her fans. The "Set Fire to the Rain" artist is currently 33, but called it quits with husband Simon Konecki three years ago. The two share 8-year-old son Angelo.

Sad Girl Fall
Many people joked that this was yet another breakup album to add to "Sad Girl Fall," as Kacey Musgrave's album Star-Crossed was released just last month following her divorce from Ruston Kelly.

Rolling Like Adele
Other fans admired Adele for taking time away from the spotlight to work on her album, not conceding to public pressures for her to release music before she was totally ready.
I'd like to roll like Adele.
Lay low and chill, stay out of the public eye, drop a hit album every five years or so, and keep it moving.
