Adele released her first new track in six years, “Easy on Me,” Thursday at midnight in the United Kingdom. A video accompanied the single, one that appears similar to the visuals of “Hello,” with the crooner moving out of a house that resembles the one depicted in the earlier music video. “Easy on Me” comes the day after Adele announced a Nov. 19 release date for her next album, 30, named for the age when the singer, now 33, created it. She told British Vogue, “I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption.” Her other albums bear similar titles—19, 21, and 25.
