Four singles were released to promote the album, with ' Hello' becoming an international number one song and the fastest selling digital single in the US, with over a million copies sold within a week of its release, ' Send My Love (To Your New Lover)' charted within the top 10 and ' When We Were Young' and ' Water Under the Bridge' charted within the top 20 across Europe and North America.Ģ5 received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended its production and Adele's vocal performance.

In contrast to Adele's previous works, the production of 25 incorporated the use of electronic elements and creative rhythmic patterns, with elements of 1980s R&B and organs. Its lyrical content features themes of Adele 'yearning for her old self, her nostalgia', and 'melancholia about the passage of time' according to an interview with the singer by Rolling Stone, as well as themes of motherhood and regret. The album is titled as a reflection of her life and frame of mind at 25 years old and is termed a 'make-up record'.

25 is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Adele, released on 20 November 2015 by XL Recordings and Columbia Records.
