Adele announces release date for new album
CNN
Adele has announced a release date for her much anticipated new album.
The singer took to social media Wednesday to tell fans that the new album, "30," will be out on November 19.
"I was certainly nowhere near where I'd hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago," the singer wrote. "Quite the opposite actually. I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly -- willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!"

More than two decades ago, on January 24, 2004, I landed in Baghdad as a legal adviser, assigned an office in what was then known as the Green Zone. It was raining and cold, and my duffle bag was thrown into a puddle off the C-130 aircraft that had just done a corkscrew dive to reach the runway without risk of ground fire. Young American soldiers greeted me as we piled into a vehicle, sped out of the airport complex and then along a road called the “Highway of Death” due to car bombs and snipers.
