This snippet of 'news' was communicated by Billboard who also said the album will feature contributions from Ryan Tedder (a good idea), Danger Mouse and Popjustice favourite, Tobias Jesso Jr.
Also — wait for it — rumour has it (LOL) that the album's out in November.
So there we go.
Here's a picture of Adele looking excited about the prospect of returning to pop.
