Earlier this week (October 21) Adele published an open letter to fans in which she apologised for making fans wait to hear it.

In the letter Adele wrote about how she always wanted to be older when she was growing up and her regrets over not enjoying her life in the moment. Talking about her new music, Adele writes: "My last record ['21'] was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I'm making up with myelf. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did."


Later in the letter Adele added: "'25' is about getting to know who I've become without realising. And I'm sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened."

Adele recently just signed a deal with South Africa’s leading indepenent record company, Just Music, and one of the top digital music hubs in Africa, Content Connect International. The  landmark deal gives them the exclusive rights to digitally distribute Adele’s much-anticipated single  entitled “Hello” which will be released on October 23, as a caller ring back tone exclusively on MTN.
