Adele's forthcoming album may release this year

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Adele's long-awaited third studio album, 25, may be hitting shelves this year.

According to Billboard, XL Recordings is planning on a November release for the anticipated record, which the 27-year-old singer has been teasing for some time.

Not much has been revealed about the "Skyfall" singer's latest project, but in May 2014 she took to Instagram to bid her 25th year farewell saying, "See you again later in the year x." Her label denied 25 was to be released at the time.

When it comes to the 25's collaborators, Adele's are numerous and impressive. Danger Mouse and Max Martin have contributed to the work while singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr. penned a track. OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder is said to have returned to the project after co-writing "Rumour Has It."

Singer Ed Sheeran was not part of the project, but shed some light on the underground rumblings about his contemporary. "I haven't heard [the record], but everyone I know who've worked on it is just like, 'Dude...that record!'"

Pharrell Williams is reported to also be part of the album, telling host Ryan Seacrest in June that he's met with Adele. "I've seen her recently," he said. "She's kinda like, 'OK guys, I'm gonna open my diary for 20 minutes.' So it's like, OK, you have 20 minutes, or 32 minutes really...Then she gives it two you and closes it up and disappears, and she's off with her beautiful boy -- and that's what it's all about."

The British songstress gave birth to her first son, Angelo, in 2012 -- over a year since the release of her successful sophomore album -- with longtime boyfriend Simon Konecki. Angelo is now 2 years old.
