Adele's new album, "25," is being released on Friday, Nov. 20. The "Someone Like You" singer took a long break to give birth to son Angelo in 2012.

With the release of the track, fans of the British chart-buster would finally know the nine remaining songs in the album beyond "Hello" and "When We Were Young" that were released ahead. On release, "Hello" was immediately number 1 in 28 countries and broke records for being the first song to sell more than one million digital copies in a week.

She first sang in public "When We Were Young," written by 30-year-old Canadian musician Tobias Jesso Jr., in a live performance, notes VanityFair.


Here are the nine other songs in the tracks:

  • "Send My Love (to Your New Lover)" - Adele collaborates with Max Martin. VanityFair predicts it would be an earworm that would be heard on pop radio until 2018.
  • "I Miss You" - A sultry song that's perfect theme song for a new ABC romantic drama. Images show couples in passionate bedroom romps.
  • "Remedy" - It's a romantic song to text to a child, partner or best friend.
  • "Water Under the Bridge" - The song grows on the listener. May be initially not noticed during first few listens to the track.
  • "River Lea" - About a real river in northeast London, near where Adele was raised.
  • "Love in the Dark" - Has a nice haunting quality to it, but listener would likely just use it as background music while scrolling through texts on the smartphone.
  • "Million Years Ago" - VanityFair finds the song very depressing, enough to cancel one's dinner plan and just lie in bed awake, thinking about one's life decisions.
  • "All I Ask" - Adele co-wrote the song with Bruno Mars. VanityFair believes she would sing it with Bruno later, and their version is strong enough to shatter the Sydney Opera House's glass.
  • "Sweetest Devotion" - Upbeat and downright cheery song that features the voice of Angelo, the reason why Adele took a hiatus from the music scene for a few years.

Mashable, in a review of "25," believes nostalgia is Adele's first language as she "dwells in it, obsessing and washing herself in its every sepia-drenched intonation." It notes that while the singer is just 27, she seems to sound like she is 50 due to her ancient soul.

The website notes Adele's way of naming her album with an age because she seals "each set of songs into a time capsule of every various Adele era." Her previous album was titled "21."
