WATCH: Adele previews new song
Adele previewed a new song during a commercial for 'The X Factor' on Sunday
The 27-year-old singer - whose last release was 2012's 'Skyfall' - surprised fans by teasing a new track during a commercial break for TV show 'The X Factor'.
The advert contained just white text on a black background and Adele's voice could be heard singing the words.
She sang: "Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything. They say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing."
No further information was given.
Adele's last album was the 2011 record '21'.
YES. ADELE. I think we all needed this @OfficialAdele. 👀 #Feels pic.twitter.com/4VyW9yngY6
— Mikey Piff (@MikeyPiff) October 18, 2015The Grammy Award-winning artist - who co-wrote and sang the title track for 'Skyfall' in 2012 - didn't reprise her singing duties for the forthcoming James Bond movie because it would be too hard to beat her global smash.
A source said: "Adele was James Bond himself's first choice. Daniel Craig was really keen and (director) Sam Mendes was 50/50 over whether to use her or a fresh voice.
"Filmmakers were prepared to offer millions but Adele was never up for it.
"How do you top a worldwide hit like 'Skyfall' any way? It was too big a risk."
The 'Rolling in the Deep' hitmaker is currently focused on the launch of her much-anticipated third studio album and recently met up with One Direction's tunesmith Jamie Scott to get some advice.
A source added: "She has a mass of material but can't settle on what. She spent a day with 1D songwriter Jamie Scott but that probably won't see the light of day either."
