Watch: Adele returns with ‘Hello’ music video

Share via

You couldn’t have scripted a more Adele-appropriate comeback than her new video for “Hello.”

A windswept forest, a nostalgic sepia color palette and intimations of total loneliness only overcome by the resilience of her voice? Yep, that about covers the waterfront.

The video, directed by Xavier Dolan, marks her first new music since contributing the theme to the 2012 film “Skyfall,” for which she won an Academy Award. “25” will be her first LP since 2011’s “21,” the best-selling album of the decade.

“The thought of directing her in the ‘acting’ aspect of the term was exciting,” Dolan said in his director’s statement. “I discovered that she’s a very talented actress — no matter what she’ll tell you.”

Adele also sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe to discuss the record (among the small new details, it’s probably the last time she’ll use the age-naming concept for her LPs).
