Known for chart-topping ballads such as “Hello” and “Someone Like You”, Adele posted the black-and-white video on her Twitter and Instagram accounts yesterday with the caption “Easy On Me – October 15”.

The video shows the singer in a car putting a tape into a cassette player, checking the rear-view mirror, increasing the volume, then driving off with packed-up belongings.

Soft piano plays in the background as music sheets fly out the window.

Adele released “25” in November 2015. It topped charts around the world and scooped the coveted Album of the Year prize at the Grammy Awards.

Over the last few days, her fans have speculated online that the 33-year-old was set to release new music as the number “30” was mysteriously beamed onto buildings around the world.

Adele has referenced her age when naming her past three albums, “19”, “21” and “25”.
