30

British songstress Adele is finally going to release her fourth album - titled '30'- this November. The forthcoming album will be released on November 19, almost six years to the day since she released her last record.  

There are no featured guests on the record. The title of '30' follows a pattern Adele has embraced since her debut album '19': each of her studio album is named after the age she was when she had written it. The album will be her first in six years after '25' came out in 2015 and sold 11 million copies in America alone.

The album is named after his late mother who died in 2007. It follows his 2019 Grammy-winning Christian album, 'Jesus Is King.'
