Adele isn’t going easy on her fans with the release of her first single in five years “Easy On Me,” out now via Columbia Records along with a music video.
On Thursday evening (Oct. 14), Adele introduced the piano ballad with a black-and-white video, in which she drives away from an empty house with a “Sold” sign in the front yard. Of course, by the end of the clip, she’s in full Technicolor as she belts the song in a room swirling with loose sheet music.
In an Instagram Live session a week prior to the song’s release, Adele shared a snippet of the track, where she’s heard singing, “There ain’t no gold in this river/ That I’ve been washing my hands in forever/ And there is hope in these waters/ But I can’t bring myself to swim when I am drowning in this silence/ Baby, let me in.”
