ADELE TO RELEASE LONG-AWAITED THIRD ALBUM IN NOVEMBER

Adele's long-awaited third album appears to be on its way.

The 27-year-old London-born singer is reportedly planning to finally release a follow-up to the 2011 Grammy-winning smash album 21 in November after a four-year hiatus.

Adele - whose full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins - has been working on new music with the likes of OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, who produced and co-wrote Rumour Has It on 21, and other music luminaries, Billboard is reporting in its fall issue.

There was hope that Adele would drop a third album last year after she dangled the title of 25 in front of fans, but that never materialised.

Now Billboard claims to have the inside track on her new material and even Ed Sheeran has heard 'it's really good.'

Sheeran told U.K.’s Capital FM, 'I haven’t heard [Adele’s album], but everyone I know who’ve worked on it is just like, "Dude… that record!" Apparently, it’s really good.'

The songstress herself isn't ready to talk about her latest effort even though the 21 LP sold upwards of 11 million copies and her 2009 debut album was met with success.
